The Long and the Short and the Tall
Based on a Willis Hall drama. A British troop is out in the bush recording jungle and troop noises to be used by other troops to confuse the Germans. So far from base camp that the only radio station they can hear is a Japanese broadcast. Ils reprennent they are only 10 to 15 miles from a Japanese camp! Unstable Private Bamforth, an outspoken "non-hero" who has nothing good to say about anyone, particularly Corporal Johnstone, adds to the tension (who holds an equal dislike for Bamforth). Each man's true colors emerge when they take a Japanese soldier as a prisoner.
