Frank Sinatra took over the directors' chair for the first (and only) time in this unusual WWII drama. Lt.

An American plane crash-lands on the island, leading to a skirmish between the two rag-tag legions; eventually, both sides call a truce, and medical officer Maloney (Sinatra) treats a Japanese soldier who was seriously wounded in the fighting. American commander Capt. Bourke (Clint Walker) and Lt. Kuroki come to an agreement -- they will work together to bring needed help to the island, but once either side's forces reach them, the fighting will pick up where it left off. None But the Brave was an international co-production of Artanis Productions (Sinatra's production company -- "Artanis" is Sinatra backwards), Warner Brothers, Tokyo Eiga, and Toho. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    The budget was definately economy. Sinatra was the producer, director and had a starring role in the film as well. He wasnt John Ford as a director but the performances of the film keep the low budget quality in check. The message of the film in my opinion was ahead of its time i... read moren the sense that it was released during the Vietnam era of US military activity. Certainly not the first anti war film but not the worst either.
