Wissenswertes
The story is based on true events. The real George Tweed died in 1989.

Patzer
After Mr. Shimoda dies (1:23:29), thieves open his buried coffin and steal his body. This wouldn't have been possible since Mr.Shimoda, like most Japanese Buddhists, would have been cremated the day after the wake. After the cremation, his mourners would have picked his bones out of the ashes with chopsticks, and the ashes would have been transferred to a large funeral urn.

How to learn to appreciate eating fishheads

The most interesting part of this film is the very beginning, when Tweed sits on the top of his mountain and makes the reflection: "No man is an island, entire of itself. Every man is a piece of the continent and part of the main. Any man's death diminishes me. I am involved in all mankind." Indeed, he has time to make the deepest reflections and reach any conclusion during the months of his isolation on the top of a Pacific mountain with the ideal pacific landscape around him with the sea and the hills of the island. It's a great second world war narrative with very human ingredients, and especially impressive are the scenes in the hospital for lepers. There is a romance as well, and great war scenes, while only the Japanese are left with no human nuance. Jeffrey Hunter is perfect for the role, he was a very promising actgor who died far too young at only 42, and he was Jesus in Nicholas Ray's "King of Kings", and he died from complications in a surgery after two strokes. The film is beautiful, and although not ranked as Jeffrey Hunter's best film, you certainly will remember him from it.
