Others have said it quite well -- an otherwise routine war film with the all-too-familiar stock characters (the stuffy officer who eventually loosens up, the belly-aching enlisted man, the bigoted sergeant, the lovable underdog, the kid brother) spiced up by a very intriguing and little-known story about a regiment made up entirely of Japanese-American volunteers. The film-makers deserve praise for making their points with humor rather than "speechifying." Look fast for The Six Million Dollar Man's Oscar Goldman (Richard Anderson) as the officer struggling with the Japanese names in the roll call and Hogan's Heroes' Sgt. Schultz (a younger, much leaner and almost unrecognizable John Banner) as the surrendering German officer stunned to be captured by Asian soldiers.
