Other reviewers have accurately described many of the awful components of this movie. Let me add a few.
Setup for the entire drama is an earlier "incident" on Guadalcanal. This is never explained - or even relevant.
Too much time is spent with spontaneously angry interchange, which seems to have neither a cause or a resolution.
Action scenes are just lame. Grenades used lavishly - and they always land exactly where they're intended and kill ALL the bad guys.
The two Japanese and single Polynesian characters are circa 1920's stereotypes, too hideous to even describe.
Tony Curtis evidently learned how to talk in front of a camera during the course of this movie.
French Planter's daughter attractive with zero mentally, expressively and physically.
Japanese soldiers too clean, American too dirty.
