Title: distant drums
Review: Distant Drums really is a Western in the East. I really liked as a kid and glad its available on DVD. The only problem I have is ,plot wise, its a complete rip off of the WWII movie "Objective Burma." A commando unit goes behind enemy lines to destroy an important objective. Just as they are to make their escape the enemy foils it etc.,etc. They even rip off a line word for word - "we found the men , but I wish we hadn't". It must have been made by the same studio as "Objective Burma" so their wasn't any rights conflicts because otherwise I don't see how there weren't lawsuits. Otherwise its a first-rate adventure worthy of Gary Cooper.
Is the review positive or negative?
