DVD Synopsis
Edward Dmytryk's Back to Bataan stars John Wayne as Colonel Joe Madden. After General MacArthur decides to follow his order and leave the Philippines, Madden agrees to stay behind and organize an underground resistance movement. Anthony Quinn plays Andres Bonifacio, a captain who falls in love with a local woman (Fely Franquelli) who helps the army keep their rag-tag forces as organized as possible. Bonifacio must also deal with the pressure of being the grandson of a beloved Filipino leader. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
Edward Dmytryk directs John Wayne in the rousing World War II action-adventure film Back to Bataan. The film makes its debut on DVD with this bare-bones disc. The film is presented in its original theatrical aspect ratio. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. English, French, and Spanish subtitles are accessible. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence. While this is far from the most lavish DVD ever produced, fans of the genre as well as of Wayne should find the disc quite worthwhile. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
