Back to Bataan

[BoholoX]

8.30am this Saturday on BBC2

A John Wayne movie filmed in 1945, interestingly enough had to be rewritten during filming as the actual invasion of the Philippines was on-going.

Not seen it before, but may be interesting for some

I've already set my video recorder. Thanks for the heads-up
