Between Heaven and Hell (1956)

A rich landowner is called to serve in World War II in an island on the Pacific (possibly Guadalcanal). He changes his perception of the world due to his wartime experience.

An entertaining film, with interesting action sequences as well as dramatic ones, but the actual process of social conscience development by the protagonist is poorly shown. Anyway, it carries the somewhat unusual message that war is a potentially humanizing experience.

Rating: 51
