Merrill's Marauders

Legendary action director Samuel Fuller (I Shot Jesse James, Pickup on South Street) chronicles the true exploits of a battle-ravaged World War II regiment in 1944 Burma. Under Brigadier General Frank D. Merrill, the exhausted unit gains their latest objective in the jungle and expects to be relieved, only to be continuously pushed into more fighting down the line. Starring Academy Award-nominee Jeff Chandler (Return to Peyton Place), Ty Hardin (PT 109) and Claude Akins (Rio Bravo). A sturdy, gritty war film, praises Leonard Maltin.
