Operation Bottleneck

This may not be the worst war movie ever made, but it's up there. Terrible production values, bad acting, a ridiculous story line, it doesn't have much right with it.

All of the usual suspects are here... Voiceovers, Stock footage, and a lush Jungle set. 6 Troopers are tasked to meet a mysterious woman to parlay information from. Vital information to have a leg up against the enemy Japanese. Of this crew only one will survive. Despite it's cliches it manages to elicit suspense and sympathy. Sure it's no sprawling War saga. But it gives a voice to the poor civilians caught in the middle. And to the Soldiers... Led by their superiors. Very nicely done little known War film.

From the opening sequence where the paratroopers plane turns from a B26 Marauder to a C47 and back again, to the pristinely clean and ironed uniforms of the jungle-living Japanese and Americans not to mention their well kept hair, even during a judo fight, this one is 'special'.
