Hell to Eternity (1962) sets out to tell the true story of Guy Gabaldon, a white Angeleno raised from boyhood by a family of Japanese-Americans. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, his parents are interned, his brothers enlist to fight in Europe, and Guy (Jeffrey Hunter)--after clearing it with mama-san--offers the Marines his services in the Pacific as an interpreter. During the battle for Saipan (reenacted by director Phil Karlson on the island of Okinawa) he undergoes several transformations, from reluctant warrior to implacable avenger to, ultimately, a truce-seeker trying to save lives on both sides. That's a fine-sounding dramatic trajectory, but the two-hours-plus Allied Artists production is patchy, with some amateurish acting in the Los Angeles portion (including an early appearance by George Takei) and an excruciating, wishfully raunchy night of shore leave in Hawaii before shipping out to the war zone. Sessue Hayakawa of Bridge on the River Kwai fame dominates the final sequences as the Japanese commandant. --Richard T. Jameson

Rating:  - Wrong Actor
What a shame. Jeff Hunter is not Hispanic nor is he 17 in this movie. The real Hero was both. If only they had not been racist at the time this was made! The story is compelling and exciting. The acting besides being miscast is excellent. I would encourage everyone to buy this for their collections and then go out and read the real story of a great American Hero who overcame great odd and did what few could or would have during a time of war or even peace. A tribute to the true American Dream.
Rating:  - A forgotten but still cult war movie!
Just to watch the battle scenes make of this work a masterful movie. The epic turns around the risky efforts of a tough marine in South Pacific,. Watch to David Jansen who stole the show with his natural and gentle performance.
One of the most relevant war films of this decade.

Rating: - Hell to Eternity
This is a true story of a young boy experiencing hard times, who grew up in Los Angeles bdfore WWii. He was taken in by a Japenese-American family. He joins the Marines and fights against the Japanese army. I really enjoyed the movie. I wonder why he has not gotten the Congressional Medal of Honor for all the lives he saved; American and Japenese.
I was also pleased with the speed i reveived my order.
Rating: - HELL TO ETERNITY
I'VE WANTED THIS MOVIE FOR YEARS. IT IS ONE OF THE FEW GREAT TRUE STORIES OF WORLD WAR II, AND IT IS WELL TOLD IN THIS MOVIE.
IT HAS A GREAT CAST INCLUDING TWO FUTURE STAR TREK HEROS, JEFFREY HUNTER AND GEORGE TAKEI, ALONG WITH DAVID JANSEN, IT IS A WORTH WHILE MOVIE FOR ANYONE TO SEE.
I HOPE ANYONE WHO WATCHES THIS MOVIE, WILL COME AWAY WITH THE SAME SENSE OF LOVE AND HONOR THAT I FIRST FELT AFTER WATCHING THIS INCREDIBLE MOVIE.
