"Suspense All the Way"
According to those who have seen it, "Yesterday's Enemy" is the most controversial war drama ever filmed. Starring Stanley Baker, Guy Rolfe, Leo McKern and Gordon Jackson, the Columbia picture in Megascope is due tomorrow at the Savoy Theatre.
"Yesterday's Enemy" dares to tell the truth about the crimes of war, crimes committed in every battle and under every flag.
Baker plays a tough young officer who, in the fearful holocaust of the British retreat in Burma orders the killing of innocent villagers in order to convince a Japanese informer that this too will be his fate if he doesn't spill his guts about vital military information. Once the man has talked, Baker orders his death.
When the Japanese successfully counter attack the positions are reversed. This time, it is the British who face the threat of immediate execution unless they reveal what they know. Once again, Baker must make a fateful decision.
Rolfe, as an Army chaplain and McKern as a war correspondent, are unable to accept Baker's war-born philosophy and tactics. Jackson is seen as a sergeant who goes all the way for his officer.
Peter Newman wrote the screenplay from his own hit play. Val Guest directed the Hammer Film production for producer Michael Carreras.
