    Back to Bataan

    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
