Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Gregory Peck, as a war-weary but indomitable Canadian flier serving in Burma with the Royal Air Force, leads a grueling three-man trek through the jungle in this superior outdoor drama from Britain.

Maclean's Magazine
Rating: 3/4 --
A British production that was far more popular in its homeland than in the U.S. -- it was a box office hit in the U.K. and earned four BAFTA nominations, including one for Best Film -- it contains a typically excellent performance by Gregory Peck.

After his wife is killed during the Blitz, Forrester (Gregory Peck) is bent on achieving one thing in the war: his death. But when his plane crash-lands in enemy territory and his two companions are injured, he becomes determined to save them. As they cross the Burmese desert with no food and little water and their chances fade, his will to live grows stronger than ever!
