Hell to Eternity (1962) sets out to tell the true story of Guy Gabaldon, a white Angeleno raised from boyhood by a family of Japanese-Americans. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, his parents are interned, his brothers enlist to fight in Europe, and Guy (Jeffrey Hunter)--after clearing it with mama-san--offers the Marines his services in the Pacific as an interpreter. During the battle for Saipan (reenacted by director Phil Karlson on the island of Okinawa) he undergoes several transformations, from reluctant warrior to implacable avenger to, ultimately, a truce-seeker trying to save lives on both sides. That's a fine-sounding dramatic trajectory, but the two-hours-plus Allied Artists production is patchy, with some amateurish acting in the Los Angeles portion (including an early appearance by George Takei) and an excruciating, wishfully raunchy night of shore leave in Hawaii before shipping out to the war zone. Sessue Hayakawa of Bridge on the River Kwai fame dominates the final sequences as the Japanese commandant. --Richard T. Jameson

This is a interesting war movie, based on a true story about an American Boy who was raised by a Japanese / American family. Having heard and read so much about the atrocities committed by Japanese Troops during World War Two, I have a lot of difficulty feeling sympathic towards the Japanese. Lest We Forget

This movie has not withstood the test of time, but still offers an insight into one American's experience growing up with Japanese Americans and then using his LA Japanese to face Imperial Japanese forces on Saipan. This DVD could be made much more effectively if it had film of the real Guy Gabaldon, who died recently. Of course, that would ruin the fantasy-story Hollywood created around him. A simple man, who fought an enemy, tried to talk them into surrendering, but shot them dead if they did ... Read More

What a shame. Jeff Hunter is not Hispanic nor is he 17 in this movie. The real Hero was both. If only they had not been racist at the time this was made! The story is compelling and exciting. The acting besides being miscast is excellent. I would encourage everyone to buy this for their collections and then go out and read the real story of a great American Hero who overcame great odd and did what few could or would have during a time of war or even peace. A tribute to the true American Dream.

Just to watch the battle scenes make of this work a masterful movie. The epic turns around the risky efforts of a tough marine in South Pacific,. Watch to David Jansen who stole the show with his natural and gentle performance.
One of the most relevant war films of this decade.
