Tonight's Movie Is 'The Thin Red Line' (1964)



From Wikipedia: The Thin Red Line is a 1964 Cinemascope film based on James Jones's 1962 novel of the same name. The film follows the life of a number of American soldiers during the battle of Guadalcanal.

The black-and-white film was filmed in Spain. Bernard Gordon's screenplay of Jones's work concentrates on the relationship between the young rule-breaking, "survival-at-any-cost", Private Doll (Keir Dullea) and the older veteran 1st Sgt Welsh (Jack Warden).

Another film adaptation of the novel was released in 1998.
