None But the Brave

Set during WWII, on a Pacific Island where both Japanese and American soldiers are stranded, Frank Sinatra’s only directorial effort is a liberal, humanist anti-war movie.

The only film that Frank Sinatra ever directed (with uncredited assistance from old friend Gordon Douglas) is a fascinating curio of an anti-war war movie. Set during WWII, on a Pacific Island where both Japanese and American soldiers are stranded, None But the Brave is a liberal, humanist film with a surprisingly sensitive portrayal, for its time, of Japanese soldiers. Indeed, it could be seen as an early influence on more recent dramas,
such as Letters from Iwo Jima.
