My step-father was a career Air Force sergeant stationed at McGuire back in 1966 to 1968. We lived on the road to New Egypt, NJ and I graduated from Allentown HS in 1968. I was so impressed with the Air Force that I joined the Marines a week after high school - lol. I agree that Jimmy Stewart was the real deal, he was one of the best actors of his generation and he was a career Air Force officer who served his country with distinction.

A lot of actors put their lives on hold to serve their country. Jimmy Stewart was one of them. Along with Ward Bond, Tyrone Power, Ernest Borgnine, Neville Brand, Burt Lancaster, Clark Garble and many many others including Audie Murphy who became an actor after WW2. They actually were in the war, not on the sidelines. You wouldn't see any of these selfish actors or actress of today's Hollywood enlisting to serve their country. These were brave men. We won't see men like them again.

He helped pull a stretcher aboard and the wounded soldier, bandaged and bleeding from the abdomen, asked him for a cigarette, Dad lit one and gave it to the man.Then the Medics took him below. All these many years later Dad would say "I wonder if he made it, I didn't even ask his name." War experiences are painfully personal and unforgettable.

Yes, sometimes it's like that. And I solute your dad and my dad as for thier duty then. I was in the Submariner Service in the early 80's, (Pearl Harbor) and an up and coming Officer died in a traffic accident in Honolulu when I was stationed there. Boy it was terrible. Submarine crews are a 125 member family. But, you know, you go and just go. Sure, it wasn't war, but it still was a loss. All these years later, I think about that young officer, and what he was to our crew. And it reminded me now of what you said.

I met General Stewart in London, in the early 70's. He was reprising his stage role in "Harvey." Got to meet him both at the back stage door and then, just a few minutes later, his ride was stopped in traffic. My friend and I walked up, saluted (which he returned) and had an engaging conversation for the time it took the traffic to clear. He was polite, asked us about our military duties, base location, etc. Very gracious man.

[@meyay5757]

I think this is the sole movie where we get to realistically glimpse what James Stewart had been through morally during his service, it shows especially in his quarrel scenes.

Why would Jimmy Stewart have made this Movie for? His Commie Hollywood Agent must have Conned Him in to it. It makes Him, The U.S.Army, Army Officers and America All Look Like Fools. I'm guessing Jimmy Stewart was Ambushed on the Set of the Movie during Filming with changes to the Script that He didn't completely comprehend the ramification of till after the Movie was complete, Edited and He saw them all added up in the Film Screening. All the Poor Mismanagement, Terrible Military Strategies that are Highly Inconsiderate of any Collateral Damage and all from a Major? Hardly Possible in Real Life. That Character is Neither playing a Officer or a Gentleman. The Producers and Writer's of the this Movie are the Problem and must Hate America because they didn't Depict The Americans and U.S.Soldiers as the Great People and Hero's they are.

Great movie. The major took on this job, as he was an engineer, and had a very naive mindset about it. Very cut and dry- which it turned out not to be- as war always is. Doing what was ordered, but having internal conflicts, only to be told "good job". And to not win the woman in the end, as she is educated and has her own set of standards. Both Americans and Chinese fighting the Japanese( who never appear)- allies with so many cultural conflicts.Great cast! Beautifully and thoughtfully written- great acting.

Always has been. We want YOU to help our country,not what can YOU do to help me get into power. I truly pray GOP can hold on and win this next election. Trump with all his critics has done more for the American people than Obama in EIGHT YEARS. Everything that is offered free is not free. Nothing is free. We ask you to work for your country. That's all we ask. I am kind of amazed you put the word rare in your comment. The American people as a hold have given more blood sweat and tears to the world than any country or people on the planet. We don't want anything more than peace and calm and a day to go to work and lead a good life. Think thats what China, or the middle east wants ? If we could control our immigration closely in the next 20 years we could get this country humming again. God willing, the Wuhan virus leaves us all alone. Please remember something. A POTUS represents your party for 4 or 8 years. If a POTUS does good things for both parties,he is a pretty good POTUS. One thing never changes,your beliefs. The POTUS changes,but not your beliefs. It must be agonizing for good Democrat people to see their party swing so far to the Left. Biden actually declared if he will get ekected,it will be the farthest he has taken our country in its entire lifetime. We the people will not let that happen. The good people you speak of as rare will not let that happen. Remember this...a POTUS is not what makes this country. The good people make this country. Regardless of who is in office. THAT IS WHAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT. No other country on earth operates like that. Democracy is getting hard to hold on to. Nothing is more precious to the American people. You better understand that. If you don't,,it will be gone. And it's too late. Don't concentrate who is in office,but what does he do for our country? Trump with all his issues,has done just what he told us he would do. THAT is unusual and rare.

This is an amazing metaphor for the American Experience in so many conflicts (especially Vietnam). What astonishes me is the film was made in the early 1960's predating much of the American involvement in Vietnam. Steward is at his best here as a reluctant Army Engineering Officer leading a demolition team. The journey is reminiscent on Conrad "Heart of Darkness"! Its interesting to see Harry Morgan in this supporting role as the First Sergeant. This appears to be something of a breakout role for a young Glenn Corbett as the sympathetic enlisted man trying to help refugees only to be done in by his good deeds.

Moviemaking is a far shallower art these days. Today's films satisfy on only a surface level. Big explosions, ridiculous sex scenes and as much lurid as they can pack into a 20 minute script to turn it into a feature film. Old films gave us characters, plots and the true ART of cinema. They told stories that moved us, that shaped our thoughts and morals. They gave us heroes with prison stripes and generals with heavy consciences under bluff and bluster. They gave us fine actors and gifted directors. And no CGI.

Stewart flew 20 missions in a B-24. At that point the average pilot only survived 8-12 missions. He began to suffer from combat fatigue(now Post Tramatic Stress). After a short rehab he returned to duty as a group commander. He began the war as a private, was promoted to lieutenant and pilot instructor, and finished the war as a full colonel. I had a friend who flew twenty-five missions as a waist gunner on a B-17. After hearing his description of combat in the air, I figured anyone who went on more than one mission was a hero.

[@SRLowther]

I am quite familiar with the area in Arizona where the movie was filmed, some of the scenes down some dirt roads I happen to know. Until I saw this movie, I didn't know that Jimmy Stewart and Henry Morgan made a movie there--or any movie was made there for that matter. It is such a weird juxtaposition of realities in my world!

My aunt peggys husband fought in ww2 in an outfit called Saco's raiders in china, teaching the chinese how to fight and blowing the hell out of the Japanese advance. Aunt peg said after the war he was home 6 months in Seattle before someone spotted him in a Ballard bar living it up and tipped her off! She went and got him, found out he was not the man who she married before he left to fight. A real wild man when he returned. She already had 7 kids by him so she dragged him home. They had 2 more together, trying to work it out. They lived out in Bellvue before they built the floating bridges. The kids said when peggy was working nights as a waitress in Seattle, he would sometimes get drunk, line the 9 kids up by a bonfire, walking back and fourth, screaming at them in Japanese, firing his .45 as he paced. Eventually he would pass out and they all ran into the woods to hide. Wow! Eventually this drove her to take the kids and leave him. They found him several years later in the burned out shell of this house in the deep woods. They told her he fells asleep drunk while smoking in bed! My aunt peg was quite the wonderful person. She has passed away and they just do not make them like her any more! I feel blessed to have gotten to know her!

That's a sad story. I expect all the men who saw action were changed forever but some couldn't hold it together at all and there were just expected to carry on as though nothing had happened. . My father was in Italy WW2 and became a workaholic /alcoholic. He had to keep his mind either fully occupied or dulled, because not a day went by he didn't think of it (the war).

A Jimmy Stewart movie! What good luck! Jimmy Stewart is like Jell-O to me (but without Bill Cosby). In other words, I will always have room for Jimmy Stewart! And this is one I have never heard of before, much less seen. I am especially fond of his old radio program, "The Six Shooter" from the 1950s. How sad that his last movie was shared with The Duke. 😭 And that movie was "The Shootist" from 1976. Mr. Stewart only appeared in the film because John Wayne asked him to be as a personal favor. I miss both of them so much... 😭😭😭

[@randalmontgomery4595]

I found this to be a deep sociological (and economic and political) analysis of culture conflict. The war was just the backdrop. This is a movie that should be studied at university courses, far from your normal war movie. So realistic in that no good deed goes unpunished. The more the Americans work so hard to try to help the Chinese the worse things get. Then it gets very philosophical (existential ?) PS must have been a huge amount of effort to put into the realistic scenes and so many extras to be coached.

Jimmy Stewart was by far one of the nicest actors in his time, he was also very proud of his military service. Sadly enough the man he portrayed in this movie was a horrible leader, although I can only surmise that there were many men like him in WWII who were in an office one day and then out in the battlefield the next as an office leading men into battle with little to no experience. What he did in that village toward the end of the movie he would have definitely been court martialed for (several innocent villagers were obviously killed). Good movie, THANK YOU.......

Not to put a damper on the Jimmy Stewart love, which I share, Billy Graham was a horrible human being, a relentless self-promoter, and a toady for the powerful so that they could white-wash (or prayer-wash) their "indiscretions."
