5 out of 5 stars Good movie from the past.......2007-03-15

I remember seeing this movie years ago when it came out to the theaters. I was only a teenager in the middle of World War II. The scenes of being a prisoner of war made a great impact on me. I read the book and found the details of survival very interesting. I have both the book and the VHS and have enjoyed seeing and reading both again over fifty years later. Claudette Colbert is terrific as usual. I would recommend the book first and the movie second.

5 out of 5 stars Great DVD!.......2005-01-09

I was pleasantly surprised that for the price this DVD's quality was pretty good. I have seen this movie numerous times on late night TV and the quaility of the transfer on this DVD is clear and clean- A good buy!

5 out of 5 stars An Underrated WWII Film Well Worth Your Time.......2004-02-09

I had never even heard of Three Came Home until I ran across it in a catalog. The description sounded interesting enough to get me to buy it, and I'm glad I did. Three Came Home is a riveting and moving film that grabs the viewer and never lets go. Focusing on what happened to many civilians in the Pacific the film covers a 4 year period from 1941 to 1945, and it shows what kind of hardships and trials many people had to endure in prison camps during the war, primarily focusing on womens camps. Claudette Colbert gives a fantastic performance, and Sessue Hayakawa is outstanding as the Colonel in charge of the prison camps. The script is intelligent and filled with great dialogue, and the acting is first rate throughout. The Alpha DVD is quite good - the print is VERY clean for a "bargain" (public domain) copy, and you should have no concerns as to the quality of this DVD. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars A Classic Comes Home........2002-05-28

One of the best World War Two era dramas ever. The fact that I had never heard of this movie is a testament to it's being under-rated. It's usually not shown in retrospectives of war movies, not enough testosterone displayed, I presume, which is a shame, as it is a powerful take on the "human" side of war, and the effects on the individual. Claudette Colbert, whose only starring role I was familiar with was in "It Happened One Night", is wonderfully touching and noble in this true- story based drama of an author forcefully seperated from her husband and placed, with her little boy, in a Japanese prison camp. As anyone who reads my reviews knows, I like strong womens roles, the good ones of which are few and far between. This is one of the best. Her portrayal is one of pathos, bravery, and perseverence in the face of overwhelming, spirit- breaking odds. This film also offers a rare for that time somewhat sympathetic view of the Japanese, in the role of Sessue Hayakawas' Japanese officer who, over time, developes a true respect for Colberts character that transcends gender and war time prejudices, and, shows the human loss on both sides. This film says just as much about the tragedy of war, maybe more so, than any battle scenes. I am not generally a fan of many war movies, how many battle scenes can you watch??, but I was totally drawn in when I happened upon this film by accident on the History Channel. I was so impressed by it that I bought the video, after trying to track it down for some time. A wonderfully moving drama, yes, it is a "tear-jerker", but much more than that, it is also ultimatley uplifting. A classic movie, very radical for it's time, it's a must have for any film buff, or anyone who wants to see what true movie making WAS.

5 out of 5 stars True-life drama: Superb.......2001-10-21

Miss Colburn did a lot of work in war movies and it was all excellent: Three Came Home rates among the best ever made about WWII, it is all true, wonderfully made, rarely known among the best b&w war movies, a fantastic story really well done.

    3 out of 5 stars Bow to Japanese officers. Bow!.......2005-06-21

    It's 1940 and we're in the town of Sandakan, Borneo. War is raging in the Far East, but as yet Borneo's fields are unsullied by the boots of foreign invaders. Sandakan is the home of author Agnes Keith, her British civilian worker husband, and their 4-year-old son. Soon a radio will announce the attack on Pearl Harbor and everything will change. THREE CAME HOME (1950) is one of the oddest movies I've seen in a while. Besides spoiling its ending with its titles, it's that rarity or rarities, a war movie told from a woman's point of view.
    Soon after war is declared the Japanese invade Borneo. In May 1942 all Europeans are ordered to go to prison camps - one for the men, one for the women and children. Agnes (Claudette Colbert) and son go off to one camp, husband Harry (Patric Knowles) goes off to another. From this point on the movie pretty much drops Harry from the narrative. Although Agnes pines for him daily, he's little more to us than a pair of shoulders and a cookie duster moustache memory whose sole purpose was to adore Agnes, deeply and unequivocally.
    The first clue we get that we aren't in Kansas anymore, war moviewise, is when a Japanese subaltern tells a roomful of woman that they must bow when a Japanese officer enters a room. The women proceed to do so with nary a snarl or murmur, and continue to do so unfailingly and uncomplainingly throughout the movie. That would never happen in a John Wayne movie. A little more surprising is the movie's treatment of the Japanese soldiers. Although one or two are stereotypically wicked, there's a surprising range of types for a movie made so soon after the war. In fact, the most complex and sympathetic character is Colonel Suga, wonderfully played by Sessue Hayakawa, who admires Agnes Keith's books and develops something of a protective friendship with her.
    Some bad things happen to Agnes in the third act. I almost wrote `finally happen'. Until the last act this movie seemed to be pulling its punches. The forced separation of the Keith family is presented as an unfortunate event, rations in the prison camp are scare, and vital medical attention - quinine for the malarial patients, for example - are sporadically administered. Yet....
    Something's amiss. Suga's solicitude toward Agnes and his oft exhibited paternal affection for her young son rang false - or, perhaps more accurately, incomplete. The movie didn't make me believe that after Agnes had practically been bent into a human pretzel by camp thugs (without Suga's knowledge, I hasten to add), after her family had been forcibly separated, her husband possibly to probably killed in a Japanese prison camp... after all that she could calmly sit to tea with Colonel Suga and provide genuine sympathy when he learns that his family has suffered a severe, war related tragedy. Either the movie, and perhaps the book it was based on, omitted information that would explain the true depth of the relationship between Agnes and Suga, or Agnes was indeed the near-saint the movie presents her as, someone who could ignore her losses and suffering to provide comfort to her captor when he suffers his loss.
    Although THREE CAME HOME didn't convince me, I enjoyed it. As usual Colbert is strong, but the movie belongs to Sessue Hayakawa as the complex Japanese officer.

    5 out of 5 stars One of the most underated war films of all time!.......2005-04-14

    "Three Came Home" is the true story of Agnes Newton Keith's experiences during World War Two. Based on her autobiography, this moving yet surprisingly brutal (especially for 1950) war film has somehow remained largely forgotten over the years. With top-notch performances, especially from Claudette Colbert and Sessue Hayakawa, this a definite must for any fan of classic movies.

    Claudette Colbert stars as Agnes Keith, a writer who lives in British North Borneo in 1940-41 with her husband (Patric Knowles) and little boy. They are part of a small community of British civilians (Colbert is the only American among them) living in the region, and life is good for them, until they hear of the Dec. 7, 1941 surprise attack by Japanese forces on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor. It's then only a matter of weeks until the Japanese troops land in Borneo. When they do land, Mrs. Keith and all the other civilians are quickly rounded up and "introduced" to their new "masters". On May 12, 1942, Agnes and her husband are seperated as they're sent to different prison camps. She has her young son with her, and they struggle to survive in their new harsh environment.

    However, Agnes meets the prison camp commander, Col. Suga (Sessue Hayakawa), who's amazingly a fan of hers because of her famous novels, and slowly they become friends. But that friendship doesn't prevent her from being assaulted one night by a camp guard or from taking a brutal beating during a relentless interrogation by a different officer. But Col. Suga does his best to keep Agnes and her son safe, even after his own family is wiped out by the atomic bomb at Hiroshima. The ending would initially seem like typical Hollywood propaganda if you didn't know this was a true story, and the fact that it's true makes it even more amazing. The violence in the movie is very rare for a 1950 film, with women being shown abused by prison guards, including the attempted rape of Agnes. Perhaps the toughest scene to watch is the one showing Australian prisoners being machine-gunned as they try to climb a barbed wire fence, not to try and escape, but simply to talk to female prisoners!

    This bargain priced dvd from Front Row Entertainment has a remarkably clear picture quality and a fabulous sound quality, and at this inexpensive price you can't ask for more than that! This is an incredible true story of survival amid the heartless carnage of World War Two, and it's one of the finest performances of Claudette Colbert. Highly recommended.

    5 out of 5 stars Great Classic War-time film.......2007-06-28

    I enjoy this film. It is a great classic film mainly about a group of women kept in a Japanese concentration camp. Made a few years after the war ended, America was embracing stories like this, about people that lived such experiences. Some of the acting is dated but Colbert is great and the supporting cast is too.

    3 out of 5 stars Great Movie, bad film, NOT IN COLOR as stated in description........2006-11-23

    I bought this movie because i dreampt of a part in the movie. As clear and as accurate as the real movie. i had never seen it though, so this had me intrigued; so I bought it to add to my collection.
    Out of the three production companies that sell this movie on amazon, I chose this one, and am a bit dissapointed. The film is in black & white, whereas it states it is in color. That was my main reason for choosing this one. And the film (not the disk, the recorded film itself) has scratches and poor quality throughout. This is a DVD that looks like a poorly maintained original 1950s copy on vhs.
    The movie itself, and the true story it tells, is very emotional. It is one great movie- a heart-wrenching story of what the women and children stuck in the midst of war had to live through.
    I would definatly reccomend this movie to all, just would say to buy from another film production company.

              5 out of 5 stars Good movie from the past.......2007-03-15

              I remember seeing this movie years ago when it came out to the theaters. I was only a teenager in the middle of World War II. The scenes of being a prisoner of war made a great impact on me. I read the book and found the details of survival very interesting. I have both the book and the VHS and have enjoyed seeing and reading both again over fifty years later. Claudette Colbert is terrific as usual. I would recommend the book first and the movie second.

              I was pleasantly surprised that for the price this DVD's quality was pretty good. I have seen this movie numerous times on late night TV and the quaility of the transfer on this DVD is clear and clean- A good buy!

              5 out of 5 stars An Underrated WWII Film Well Worth Your Time.......2004-02-09

              I had never even heard of Three Came Home until I ran across it in a catalog. The description sounded interesting enough to get me to buy it, and I'm glad I did. Three Came Home is a riveting and moving film that grabs the viewer and never lets go. Focusing on what happened to many civilians in the Pacific the film covers a 4 year period from 1941 to 1945, and it shows what kind of hardships and trials many people had to endure in prison camps during the war, primarily focusing on womens camps. Claudette Colbert gives a fantastic performance, and Sessue Hayakawa is outstanding as the Colonel in charge of the prison camps. The script is intelligent and filled with great dialogue, and the acting is first rate throughout. The Alpha DVD is quite good - the print is VERY clean for a "bargain" (public domain) copy, and you should have no concerns as to the quality of this DVD. Highly recommended.

              5 out of 5 stars A Classic Comes Home........2002-05-28

              One of the best World War Two era dramas ever. The fact that I had never heard of this movie is a testament to it's being under-rated. It's usually not shown in retrospectives of war movies, not enough testosterone displayed, I presume, which is a shame, as it is a powerful take on the "human" side of war, and the effects on the individual. Claudette Colbert, whose only starring role I was familiar with was in "It Happened One Night", is wonderfully touching and noble in this true- story based drama of an author forcefully seperated from her husband and placed, with her little boy, in a Japanese prison camp. As anyone who reads my reviews knows, I like strong womens roles, the good ones of which are few and far between. This is one of the best. Her portrayal is one of pathos, bravery, and perseverence in the face of overwhelming, spirit- breaking odds. This film also offers a rare for that time somewhat sympathetic view of the Japanese, in the role of Sessue Hayakawas' Japanese officer who, over time, developes a true respect for Colberts character that transcends gender and war time prejudices, and, shows the human loss on both sides. This film says just as much about the tragedy of war, maybe more so, than any battle scenes. I am not generally a fan of many war movies, how many battle scenes can you watch??, but I was totally drawn in when I happened upon this film by accident on the History Channel. I was so impressed by it that I bought the video, after trying to track it down for some time. A wonderfully moving drama, yes, it is a "tear-jerker", but much more than that, it is also ultimatley uplifting. A classic movie, very radical for it's time, it's a must have for any film buff, or anyone who wants to see what true movie making WAS.

              Miss Colburn did a lot of work in war movies and it was all excellent: Three Came Home rates among the best ever made about WWII, it is all true, wonderfully made, rarely known among the best b&w war movies, a fantastic story really well done.
