Too Late the Hero
A heavyweight cast (Caine, Elliott, Bannen, Fonda) populate Aldrich's testosterone-heavy Second World War thriller, although it's Robertson who takes the lead as the opportunistic US Navy man who has to face up to his responsibility when he is forced to lead an attack against the Japanese. Just another war movie, really, with only the lengthy roster of star names and claustrophobic island location to set it apart from its peers.
