The only weak point was the way Tommy Sands' character was written-he was like a one-dimensional caricature instead of a real soldier. The Japanese actors also were pretty good. Clint Walker was clearly the star, though Frank Sinatra had a decent co-starring role in this film that he both produced and directed. As for the acting, it was generally good. Though in some ways the whole thing seemed a bit hard to believe-after all, very, very few Japanese officers would have admitted to not having faith in the war-this was a very 1960s sentiment. In many ways, this is a good thing-showing that people on both sides could be decent. Unlike older war films, in this one the Japanese are humanized a great deal and it's obvious that the film was made during the anti-war 60s (though early in the anti-war years). Had anyone wanted to make such a film in the 1940s, they might just have been strung up for the film's very unusual sensibilities. NONE BUT THE BRAVE is a film that is a real product of the times. However, after a while they realize that killing each other will solve nothing and they have to work together to survive-forging an uneasy peace and friendship between enemy combatants. When they land, hostilities naturally break out between the groups. Into this tiny place arrives a crashing airplane filled with US Marines. On a tiny forgotten island in the Pacific, there a tiny and forgotten Japanese outpost-with men who'd become stuck there with no great hope of rescue.
