No young lieutenant is THAT obnoxious and stupid!! Overall, an entertaining film but one that strains credibility, as the concept behind the film just doesn't make much sense for the 1940s. The only weak point was the way Tommy Sands' character was written-he was like a one-dimensional caricature instead of a real soldier. American and Japanese soldiers, stranded on a tiny Pacific island during World War II, must make a temporary truce and cooperate to survive various tribulations. The Japanese actors also were pretty good. During WW2, a platoon of Marines crash-lands on a tiny Pacific island occupied by a small Japanese unit. 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. Hosted by film producer Hal Schwartz and Backstreets Magazine contributor Flynn McLean. 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. None But the Brave takes a comprehensive look at the music and career of Bruce Springsteen. 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. Sinatra was a multi-talented man, movies being his second vocation.

NONE BUT THE BRAVE is a film that is a real product of the times. Some have criticized him as an actor but he proves himself to be more than capable in this movie. Frank Sinatra's only directorial effort None But The Brave is a dark - but cliched - anti-war epic.

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. Published Frank Sinatra's only directing project is 1965's None But The Brave, a dark anti-war epic featuring a standoff between American and Japanese soldiers. When they land, hostilities naturally break out between the groups. For the Marines aboard, World War II becomes smaller but no less deadly. Into this tiny place arrives a crashing airplane filled with US Marines. A crippled C-47 transport crash-lands on a remote Pacific island. 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.
