Hell to Eternity is a 1960 World War II film starring Jeffrey Hunter, David Janssen, Vic Damone and directed by Phil Karlson. This film biopic is about the true experiences of Marine hero Pfc. Guy Gabaldon (played by Hunter), a Los Angeles Hispanic boy raised in the 1930s by a Japanese American foster family, and his heroic actions during the Battle of Saipan.
During the Depression-era, Los Angeles Orphaned street tough Guy Gabaldon is adopted by a Japanese American family.
After the attack on Pearl Harbor and the US entry into World War II, Gabaldon's Japanese foster family is sent to an Internment Camp at Camp Manzanar. Initially rejected from the US Navy, Gabaldon appeals to be enlisted in the Marines.
Gabaldon's ability to speak Japanese helps him become a lone-operating Marine hero. During the bloody campaign for the island of Saipan, he convinces the Japanese general to order approximately 1000 Japanese soldiers to surrender to the U.S.
The DVD of the film was released on June 5, 2007 in the United States. LESS
