Movie Reviews of The Purple Plain
Movie Review: The Purple Plain
Summary: 4 Stars
An interesting case of a man who finds love again after losing his wife during a bombing. However; that isn't the only focus in this WWII story about a fighter pilot played by Gregory Peck. While flying with his bombadier in their Mosquito they are ferrying another man to a different location when they crashland. Peck must then find a way to get them out of Japanese territory to their own lines. Survival in Burma during the Summer months is grueling and makes their treck back all the harder. The Bombadier was badly burned in the crash and requires the other two to carry him. This is not a well known movie but I think worth at least a rental. Good quality DVD with fair replayability. If you enjoyed this catch 633 Squadron.

Summary of The Purple Plain
Academy Award?(r)-winner* Gregory Peck gives a "commanding and convincing" (Citizen-News) performance in "exotic" (Mirror-News) World War II drama. An "engrossing" (Citizen-News) and "visually alluring" (LA Examiner) film full of harrowing suspense, The PurplePlain is "something everyone should see" (LA Daily News). After his wife is killed during the Blitz, Forrester (Peck) is bent on achieving one thing in the war: his death. But when his plane crash-lands in enemy territory, he realizes that he must save himself in order to guide his two injured companions to safety. As they cross the Burmese desert with no food and little water, Forrester's will to live grows stronger than ever.Action & Adventure DVD Video
