Citizen Caine

Intense drama starring just Lee Marvin and Toshiro Mifune as American and Japanese naval officers, respectively, who are both stranded on the same jungle-like island in the pacific, akin to Lord Of The Flies. After the beautiful opening shot, the film is rather hit and miss for me, especially the abrupt ending. The two leads are fine, the cinematography gorgeous, but the story is a bit muddled.

"17.1, PC Tuskin kovinkaan monessa filmissä pääsee näkemään, kun Lee Marvin kusee Toshirō Mifunen päälle. Kaksikon toilailu Tom & Jerry -tyyliin autiolla saarella on mukavaa katseltavaa, mutta valitettavasti vasta lopussa Mifunen ja Marvinin esiintyminen samassa elokuvassa lunastaa potentiaalinsa."

"14 April. Stranded on an uninhabited island, an American and Japanese soldier literally play Tom and Jerry against each other until they got tired and decided to work together and build a raft and get off the island. Lee Marvin pits wits with Toshiro Mifune in this movie with minimal dialogues and plenty of chase. A dumb ending ultimately decided their fate. "
