Powerful and fact-based drama starring Claudette Colbert as Agnes Keith, a woman who, with her husband and young son, are captured by the invading Japanese in Borneo in 1941 and then segregated in a prison camp. The film derives its considerable, if harrowing impact, by the deliberate unsensationalism of its treatment, fine central performances and, unusual for a picture of its time, its refusal to portray Sessue Hayawaka's character as camp commandant Colonel Suga in xenophobic terms.
