  • The Purple Heart – Good Of Its Day

    With high-quality 20Th Century Fox production values and a strong cast, this based-on-fact propaganda tale weaves its way to a predictable close. Arthur Miller’s superb photographic design, combined with Lewis Milestone's experienced direction are the strong points in an otherwise obvious flag-waver - filled with stereotypical evil Japanese, complete with silly toothy grins. Good looking, with an overall important story given standard scripting treatment of the era. The Fox Studio DVD offers excellent quality
