OBJECTIVE BURMA

Objective Burma is a Second World War action drama starring Errol Flynn, James Brown, William Prince, George Tobias and Henry Hull in a story about a group of American soldiers parachuting into Japanese-occupied Burma during the Second World War with a mission to destroy a radar station. Objective Burma was directed by Raoul Walsh in 1945. Objective Burma is notorious on two counts: firstly it is the first film to depict a character pulling a grenade pin out with his teeth - something no soldier ever does - and secondly in one scene one of the 'dead' Japanese soldiers moves his foot from having the heel pointing outwards to a more comfortable position pointing inwards.
