Although considered a B movie , the positive notices received by Ball helped launch her phenomenal career as an A-list actress.

Aubrey Smith and his wife Martha Elisabeth Risdon ; Tommy Mulvaney Casey Johnson , the young son of a gangster, and his escort, gunman Pete Allen Jenkins ; Peggy Nolan Lucille Ball , a woman with a shady past; and Vasquez Joseph Calleia , an anarchist being extradited and facing a death sentence for killing a high-ranking politician, and his deportation guard, Crimp John Carradine , who expects a substantial reward for delivering him.

On their way to Panama, a fierce nighttime storm buffets their airliner, The Silver Queen. A gas cylinder is shaken loose and knocks a door open and little Tommy falls against it; steward Larry attempts to close it and hands Tommy up to one of the other passengers, just before he falls through the open door to his death.

An engine fails and the pilots are forced to crash-land in jungle terrain. In the morning the professor recognizes plants of the Amazon rainforest : the aircraft has been blown far south of where rescuers will search; the nearest civilization is across the mountains.

But there is water, and enough fruit and game for everyone to live on. Weeks go by while Bill and Joe struggle to repair the damaged airliner, while the others clear a runway and lighten the aircraft by removing all unnecessary weight.

The experience changes everyone. The Spenglers rediscover their love for each other. Bill warms to an appreciative Peggy, although she tells him about her sordid past.

Judson falls apart, staying drunk much of the time, while Alice toughens up and begins to feel attracted to Joe.

The biggest change is to Vasquez. Seeing how well most of the group have coped with their situation, he reconsiders his radical beliefs.

On the 23rd day, Crimp disappears; Tommy eventually discovers his dead body. When Peggy and Pete go looking for Tommy, he leads them to Crimp's body, which has a poison dart stuck in it.

Pete orders Peggy to take Tommy to safety while he covers their retreat, but he is quickly killed by unseen natives.

The remaining survivors board the now-repaired airliner, but as the engines turn over, an oil leak develops. Bill and Joe patch it, but realize that their repair will fail some time after takeoff, leaving only one running engine.

As a result, the aircraft can only carry four adults and Tommy across the mountains. As everyone tries to decide how to choose who must stay behind, Vasquez suddenly grabs a pistol and announces that, since he is doomed no matter what, he is the only one without bias and will make the decision.

While the leak repairs are being made, he is approached by Professor Spengler, who says that he and his wife have lived their lives and should stay; then Judson tries to bribe Vasquez by offering to pay for a top lawyer.

When the aircraft is ready, Vasquez announces that both pilots and both of the younger women will go along with Tommy.

Judson attacks, and Vasquez shoots him dead. The airliner takes off, leaving behind Vasquez and the Spenglers.

As the natives approach, Professor Spengler quietly informs Vasquez that they must not be taken alive, as they will be tortured.

Vasquez lies to him, telling him that there are three bullets left. He kills the couple with his last two bullets, and then awaits his grisly fate.

The film was based on an original story by former journalist Richard Carroll. The studio bought it on 12 April and said it would be a "probable vehicle" for Cary Grant.

In August it was announced as part of RKO's schedule for the following year. Victor McLaglen and Charles Coburn were originally announced as cast members.

C Aubrey Smith and Joseph Calleia were also cast. Filming started in late March Although primarily filmed on a back lot, Five Came Back overcame some of the limitations of its low-budget.

The fiery director insisted on a realistic jungle environment and had trees imported to flesh out the jungle landscape on the sound stage.

Well researched and easy to read. I enjoyed the flow of the overall story of World War II and how the five directors worked on different areas around the world.

The photos are great and allow a visual account of the directors but now I need to go find a bunch of the movies and footage that they shot.

Dec 19, Troy Blackford rated it really liked it. This was an interesting look at five directors who became involved in the WWII war effort.

I knew very little about any of this going in, and I am glad I read this because it was very interesting and revealing.

Mar 10, victoria. Mar 10, Jill Meyer rated it it was amazing. Mark Harris's new book, "Five Came Back", is a must-read for both film and history lovers.

Harris, the author of other books on the subject - has hit a home run with "Five Came Back". World War 2 was really the first "filmed" war.

Oh, movies had been made during WW1 but they were inferior to the later advances in technology in the intervening years.

By - the beginning of the war in Europe - Hollywood directors had been filming using sound for 10 or so years, and in color for a few years.

Five directors - at varying stages of their careers - were making their names in producing excellent movies for entertainment.

American-made movies were generally big hits in European countries and the studios and their bosses were afraid of alienating the governments of France, Germany, and Italy.

The studio bosses - with the exception of Jack Warner head of Warner Brothers who was quite vocal in the 's - were more concerned with profits rather than politics.

With America's entry into the war - December 8th, - Hollywood began making war films, often directed by the five directors Harris highlights in his book.

All five began making pictures under government auspices, too, and served their country in military capacities. All five made films for both commercial consumption at theaters and for military use.

They also produced newsreel footage of the actual battles that were shown in theaters before the movie presentation. They were all hired to "tell the story" of American participation in the on-going war, and tell it they did.

The term "embed" could almost have been used for William Wyler, whose own participation in bombing raids over France and Germany, led to some of the most harrowing film produced in the war.

John Ford was equally involved in Pacific theater operations. John Ford was very critical of John Wayne - who he often used in his films - who he viewed as cowardly because he never actually joined the military, but merely portrayed brave men in film.

Harris has written an excellent book that looks at men and war. The film directors who went to war and produced some of the best war-time and post-war movies.

A truly good read for those interested in movies and history. View all 8 comments. Aug 10, Pat Murphy rated it liked it.

This is another book that Goodreads recommended to me in their browsing section. I found it a difficult book to read for the first pages because I had a hard time getting interested in the subject.

That's why the three stars. When I first put this book in my to read list, I thought it was a bunch of stories about movie actors who went to fight in WW Two.

It isn't. It is about five Hollywood directors who went into the service during World War Two and worked making films for the armed forces.

Some were propaganda to get the US citizenry in the right mood for war, some were for service men to inspire them or to teach them what the Forces wanted them to know.

And some were intended to show the public in newsreels in movie houses. Some of the material was shot in actual war fighting, which was a little interesting.

Lots of guys like to read about human conflict. Look at the movies today. But the part of the book which I found the most interesting was the last 1oo or pages which took on the task of telling what it was like for the famous directors, and other service men, to return home after having been away for 3 plus years in some cases.

One little part said that if you leave your home for three years, and then return, off to war or off to wherever, things change while you are gone.

So do people. The psychological ramifications are very big factors in how a person reacts and feels in a situation like this, and the people in their families and communities who they return to are of course affected as well.

Personally, I found this part of the book to deliver a strong bunch of information which hit me pretty hard.

It is something I never thought about much before. Apr 05, Sally rated it really liked it. All wanted to use their movie skills in some way, and they all did--most notably Frank Carla with the Why We Fight series and William Wyler with the documentary Memphis Belle.

All endured some tense and scary moments, as well as frustration with military and government bureaucracy, which kept some Fascinating research on five Hollywood directors, William Wyler, John Ford, John Huston, George Stevens, and Frank Capra, who all gave up successful careers to join the military during a World War II.

All endured some tense and scary moments, as well as frustration with military and government bureaucracy, which kept some films from being seen at all, or at least for many years, like John Huston's Let There Be Light.

Some suffered from what they experienced, William Wyler lost most of his hearing, and George Stevens was so traumatized by the scenes he filmed at various concentration camps that he had great trouble adjusting back to Hollywood, and never again directed the kind of comedies that he had been known for.

The portrait of these men is warts and all. The two that come off least we'll are John Ford who is eventually thrown out of the Navy for his heavy drinking and John Huston who seemed to spend most of his stateside time romancing numerous women.

The book is quite well done although since it jumps around among the experiences of the five men, it can be a little tough to follow at times.

That--and that he didn't cite out book, We'll Always Have the Movies, as a source. Jan 31, John rated it really liked it. It also p 4. It also provides a glimpse into the personal and psychological effects the war had on each filmmaker, 4 of whom witnessed first hand the costs of the conflict, and how those moments would shape their later careers.

Books such as this often make one sad that the art of letter writing and practice of recording journals has disappeared, for a majority of this book is brought to life through the preserved writings of the five directors throughout their service in WWII.

View all 3 comments. Sep 26, Rose Ann rated it liked it Shelves: biography-autobiography , movies-movie-stars , world-war The author has really done his research and this book is a fine detailed addition to the historical record.

The emphasis was on the work they did for the US Army, and to a lesser degree, those films they made for Hollywood.

It was interesting. Oh and here's something that strikes me as odd: the author makes several mentions of the author Eric Knight who wrote some of the scripts for Capra's "Why We Fight" series and whose death in affected Capra deeply.

Yet the author makes no mention at all The author has really done his research and this book is a fine detailed addition to the historical record.

Yet the author makes no mention at all of the fact that Knight's best-known work is "Lassie Come-Home"!! But throughout the book, the author constantly refers to the town as "Mulhouse.

A must read For those curious about WWII, Hollywood, documentary filmmaking, and the studio system, this is the book for you.

Mark Harris also sheds light on how the war changed five of the greatest directors of the 30s through the 60s and their art.

Aug 08, Brenda rated it it was amazing Shelves: history , movies. There may be nothing Mark Harris can't do. The story and depth of research are stimulating, educational, heartbreaking, and damn near perfect.

Storytelling about storytelling in a crucible of violence and atrocity and trying to save the world. A gem. Aug 28, Raquel rated it really liked it Shelves: classic-film-books , books-i-own.

Five Came Back is an absorbing book on a unique subject: the wartime experiences of Hollywood directors who served in the military as filmmakers during World War II.

It traces the paths of five of the greatest directors of the classic film era—John Ford, George Stevens, John Huston, William Wyler and Frank Capra—as they traveled across the world to film combat and create documentaries on the war, from Midway to Germany to the Aleutians and more, exploring the profound effect their experiences ha Five Came Back is an absorbing book on a unique subject: the wartime experiences of Hollywood directors who served in the military as filmmakers during World War II.

It traces the paths of five of the greatest directors of the classic film era—John Ford, George Stevens, John Huston, William Wyler and Frank Capra—as they traveled across the world to film combat and create documentaries on the war, from Midway to Germany to the Aleutians and more, exploring the profound effect their experiences had on their postwar work and on them personally.

The first part of the book sets all this in the context of their films made in the days leading up to their entering the military, and what was going on in the film world at the time, including the convoluted and often contentious relationship between Hollywood and Washington and how world politics affected filmmaking.

Oh, boy, politics are a mess and always will be. Later comes more bureaucratic red tape in the tangled chain of command within the army's filmmaking departments, with the government often unsure exactly what message they wanted conveyed in war documentaries, and frequently clashing with the directors whose main concern was with honesty and quality filmmaking.

One thing I found interesting and surprising was learning about the various writers who worked on military films, including Eric Knight, best known as the author of Lassie Come-Home , Theodore Geisel a.

Of the five men themselves, George Stevens and William Wyler come across as the most relatable and sympathetic, and they were also the two who did the most filming under actual combat conditions: Stevens with the Allies on D-Day, at the liberation of Paris and the push into Germany, and Wyler flying on bombing raids aboard Bs.

They were also the two who suffered the greatest personal trauma while rather unfairly, it seems, others—Ford in particular—later fabricated and embellished their own exploits and relished the fame and decorations.

One of the most moving and enlightening parts of the book is the section on just how much of Wyler's own experiences are threaded through The Best Years of Our Lives and how personal a project that was for him.

I only saw the film once many years ago, but the description of the scene with Dana Andrews sitting in the abandoned plane brought the memory of it back vividly, and understanding what was behind Wyler's staging of it made it much more meaningful.

The only mistake I picked up on was Harris' attributing a famous line of dialogue from Ford's They Were Expendable "If the manager says sacrifice, we lay down a bunt Brickley; it's actually spoken by an admiral played by Charles Trowbridge.

The reference to Stevens' first postwar film I Remember Mama as a "gentle comedy" seems a slip too, since Harris states explicitly elsewhere that Stevens never made another comedy, and I Remember Mama is better described as a family drama anyway.

I would have liked to read a little more in-depth discussion of the making of They Were Expendable , a film I enjoyed, but the comparatively greater emphasis on The Best Years of Our Lives is understandable, being much more tied in to the personal journey of its director.

The only reason for the subtracted half-star is the language in the book, which includes some four-letter words. It's not on every page, but it's there throughout.

Subjects such as racy short films intended for G. So it's definitely a book for mature readers. But if you're up to it and you're interested in World War II, classic film or both, it's a fascinating, information-packed read I'd recommend.

As a final note, many of the documentaries described in the book are now available for viewing online—I'm interested in seeing Ford's The Battle of Midway and Wyler's Memphis Belle.

And don't miss Ford's unofficial tribute for the families of Torpedo Squadron 8, all but one of whom died at Midway.

It's the most heartbreaking thing I've ever seen. Dec 07, Peter rated it really liked it Shelves: 21st-century , non-fiction. I started off intrigued by the cultural history here: the dynamics of how careful the studios and directors felt they had to be in many cases, avoiding politics that might expose them to attacks, because of their perceived outsider status as jews and immigrants.

My view of Warner Brothers changed a bit in learning how boldly outspoken they were against Nazism before the war, unlike other studios--such a position at that time was somewhat risky because of the danger of being seen to be communist.

And because of the rampant xenophobia and anti-Semitism in the USA not only here, obviously. The book also brought to life again, and therefore made all the more horrifying, both D-Day and the discovery of the concentration camps, particularly Dachau, which George Stevens, famous as a director of comedies, filmed extensively, providing film evidence for the Nuremberg Trials.

Stevens' own reactions, given here, are harrowing not only for what he saw though we learn anew the appalling scale of the horror , but also for what he admits were his own occasional feelings of disgust for the starved and lice-ridden victims, which made him feel he was respnding like the camp guards themselves.

Some of his camera crew dropped their cameras and tried to help in any way they could, taking down the last words of the dying over several days and nights without rest, for example; Stevens felt it his duty to film as much as he could.

Stevens eventually went back to directing though not until , but he had lost all interest in comedy, especially comedy that made light of vulnerability and humiliation.

Stevens and John Ford were also traumatised by the job of filming D-Day, where most cameras were destroyed or captured nothing useful--and then almost all what they captured was unusable for showing because, well, it showed what actually happened.

And it's clear that any exposure to combat caused grave psychological difficulty--we read of John Huston, despite being something of a tough guy, unable to sleep and apparently close to homicidal as he wandered New York at night with his pistol.

Some of Huston's greatest work appears to have been his sympathetic documentation not allowed to be released for several decades of soldiers with severre psychiatric difficulties I assume PTSD on their return.

We do read about the flaws of these people too--John Ford's increasing boastfulness as time went on, a bigoted outburst and epic philandering from Huston.

Most touching perhaps are the stories of William Wyler, who lost most of his hearing in filming flight crews, and was scarred by such experiences as having to write a letter of condolence to the widow of a shot-down and killed cameraman, and Stevens.

Reviewing the final episode, she writes, "It comes as no surprise that the conclusion to this remarkable series packs a wallop—the previous episode ends with D-Day on the horizon, after all—but what is surprising is how gracefully Laurent Bouzereau and Mark Harris link these monstrous and stunning events and truths to the art which followed them.

Sure, but somehow, it isn't. George Bailey 's story is also Capra's, and Ford's, and Wyler's. There's much that this hour makes clear, but chief among that crowded group is this: the experiences of and footage captured by these men changed the United States, the world, and the directors themselves in irrevocable ways.

Kristin Hunt of Slashfilm questioned why the series did not address Ford's anti-semitism or Capra's admiration of Benito Mussolini , but was generally positive, writing, " Five Came Back is a testament to the power of cinema, and the moral implications that come with it.

Was all this propaganda permissible? The documentary is sometimes afraid to truly grapple with that question. But when it does, it's gripping stuff.
