- Synopsis:
- Burma, 1945: a group of Allied soldiers languishes in a military hospital, each man longing for the day he may return home. Easy-going 'Yank' (Ronald Reagan) shares a ward with Londoner 'Tommy' (Howard Marion-Crawford), New Zealander 'Kiwi' (Ralph Michael), Australian 'Digger' (John Sherman), and 'Blossom' (Orlando Martins), a Basuto African who speaks no English; all are in the care of the sympathetic Sister Margaret Parker (Patricia Neal). When told they will be joined by a young Scot who - unbeknown to him - has but weeks to live, they react with a mixture of compassion and trepidation. But little could have prepared them for the gruff recalcitrance and downright hostility of Cpl. Lachlan 'Lachie' MacLachlan (Richard Todd)...
