Five Came Back is a decent adaptation of Mark Harris' book, an exploration of five Hollywood directors' military service during the Second World War. The film lacks the detail of the book, but its utilization of wartime propaganda and documentary footage (but who is to say which is which) creates a heartfelt tribute to those who served. I'm enough of a film and military history buff that I could nitpick this documentary, but, instead, I'll invoke Nathan Brittles' solid gold pocket watch, "lest we forget." (4/18/17)
