Revision as of 22:39, 8 February 2015
Hell’s to Eternity (1960), directed by Phil Karlson, depicts the battle for Saipan and the heroics of Marine PFC and Navy Cross recipient Guy Galbadon, who captured over 1,000 Japanese in combat. Although Galbadon was a Mexican-American in real life, he was portrayed by actor Jeffrey Hunter in the movie. The film also starred David Janssen, Vic Damone, John Larch, and Sessue Hayakawa.
