They've killed a lot, bled a lot. Their guts are wracked, their nerves are mauled. An inch is a mile and an hour is forever. But the war for them has just begun because they are Merrill's Marauders. The place: Burma. The mission: drive a fatal wedge between an enemy linkup. The troops: the 5307th Composite Unit, led by Brig. Gen. Frank Merrill (Jeff Chandler) and manned by Stock (Ty Hardin), Chowhound (Will Hutchins), Kolowicz (Claude Akins) and other young dogfaces who after a few weeks of basic training had the world's fate loaded on their backs. Director Samuel Fuller, whose later film The Big Red One is a benchmark work about Gls in World War II's European theater, turned to the war in the Pacific for Merrill's Marauders. Few moviemakers capture life among the grunts as well as Fuller. He brings you up close and personal to the intense, gritty heroics of our combat veterans.
