Yesterday's Enemy
War Is Hell!
Directed by Val Guest
Produced by Hammer Film Productions
A morally unflinching examination of how war corrupts ordinary soldiers' judgment, set amid the brutal jungle campaign in Burma.
Set during the Burma Campaign of World War 2, this is the story of courage and endurance of the soldiers struggling at close quarters against the enemy. The film examines the moral dilemmas ordinary men face during war, when the definitions of acceptable military action and insupportable brutality become blurred and distorted.
