Trivia
Writer-Producer Nunnally Johnson wanted this film adaptation of the book by Agnes Newton Keith to be true to the memoir and realistically capture the harrowing ordeal of Keith and her fellow POWs. This unrelenting ordeal included degradation, violence, starvation, torture, and rape. Actress Claudette Colbert playing Agnes Newton Keith in this movie agreed with Johnson's philosophy for the film. See more »Goofs
Colonel Suga says he attended the University of Washington for four years and Agnes reveals that she attended Berkeley. Suga goes on to say that Cal "murdered" Washington's football team. However, Tatsugi Suga arrived at Washington in 1924 and during the next four seasons California never defeated Washington. Only one football game would fit Suga's description: a 33-0 loss in 1933.

The story is good and has you wondering how it will end. Colbert suffers through taking care of her son and coming to terms with POW life. Sessue Hayakawa gives a great performance as Colonel Suga who suffers through problems of his own. The movie is done in old Hollywood dramatic style. Not being a big fan of older films, I still enjoyed this movie and recommend it to fans of any era. 6/10
