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. Full Review

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. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

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!

Product Description:

Starring Gregory Peck as Squadron Leader Bill Forrester, THE PURPLE PLAIN offers the tale of a tortured soul attempting to traverse the rocky battlefields of World War II. Forrester lost his wife during a Nazi attack and slumped into a depression that saw him losing the will to live. But this feeling soon subsides when his plane crash-lands across enemy lines and he becomes responsible for the lives of two other soldiers. Stuck in the Burmese Desert, they face some formidable odds if they wish to survive the ordeal.
