FIVE CAME BACK (USA, 2017) - Five Came Back is an irresistibly
watchable and ebullient celebration of five remarkable Hollywood studio
directors – William Wyler, Frank Capra, George Stevens, John Ford and John
Huston – who tackled the second world war head on. These were the patriotic idealists
who put their talents to work on the frontline, creating enlightened propaganda
for Uncle Sam. It is a romantic story in its way, although one that sometimes
succumbs to its own need for derring-do and self-mythologizing. It is almost
like The Dirty Dozen (minus seven): a bunch of lovable mavericks teaming up to
take a whack at Adolf. (The title also echoes a wartime survival melodrama of the period about passengers on a downed plane.).
