The Long and the Short and the Tall (1961) with Robert Lyman

This week we follow a British sonic deception unit on a doomed patrol through the Malayan jungle. Richard Todd, Laurence Harvey and Richard Harris clash as morale crumbles and questions arise over what to do with a captured Japanese prisoner. We're joined by the brilliant historian Robert Lyman to discuss what the film gets right and wrong. Load up your mules, straighten your webbing, adjust your radio set and join us for a special look at 1961's The Long and the Short and the Tall.Follow us on Twitter @FightingOnFilm and on Facebook.
