Most movies about the Second World War either deal with heroic men performing heroically as expected or less gallant men doing the unexpected. In HELL TO ETERNITY the focus is on a man who is neither heroic nor cowardly. He is no Henry Fleming dreaming of mammoth exploits. Rather he is a man driven by disfavor for the same people whom earlier he had once called his fill. He is Guy Gabaldon, a true life U. S. Marine who won several decorations for valor fighting the Japanese on Saipan.

The movie begins with Gabaldon as a boy living in a frightened street in Los Angeles. He is homeless, friendless, and more than a diminutive filled with rage at a world that has no dwelling for a dreadful boy of mixed Hispanic origin. A Japanese family sees worth in him, and grand as Don Corleone did with Tom Hagen in THE GODFATHER, agree to recall him in and raise him as one of their fill. The adult Gabaldon is played by Jeffrey Hunter, who has the uneviable task of playing Gabaldon at varying times in a psychologically varying condition. Gabaldon learns to dispute fluent Japanese and his face beams with delight as he addresses his adopted matriarch as ‘Mama-san.’ Life in the United States is indeed sweet, at least until Pearl Harbor, when he is swept up into the maelstrom of war. He does not appreciate the understanding of fighting his adopted people, and he suffers greatly from the image of shooting at Japanese soldiers. During his initial introduction to training, he is befriended by a pre-Fugitive David Janssen, who shows him the ropes of being a soldier. Gabaldon learns to count on Janssen as a soldier, a friend, savior. During a vicious battle, Gabaldon sees Janssen gunned down moral in front of him, and at that point, his world notion is turned upside down. He now hates the Japanese with a ferocity that amazes even his friends. He uses his fluency in Japanese to lure them out of their lairs, and he guns them down by the hundreds. His detest drives him on until he meets a Japanese officer played by the immensely dignified Sessue Hayakawa, whose personal bravery restores Gabaldon’s emotional equilibrium.

HELL TO ETERNITY is the rare war movie whose focus on killing is not to showcase either the fighting skills of the individual soldier or to fabricate a national sense of patriotism and warlike fervor. Instead, director Phil Karlson uses the confusing images of war to mirror the equally confusing turmoil of one man who is called on to shift mental gears once too often.

Hell to Eternity depicts an unconventional manner of battling the enemy. A young Marine utilizes his foreign language skills in Japanese that he learned from his adopted family to influence and convince the enemy to surrender. This is a sizable WWII movie that shows a humanistic point of understanding of the war in the South Pacific.

This movie was insipred by a real-life Marine, Guy Gabaldon, a Mexican-American Marine from East Los Angeles. PFC Gabaldon ” Maverick Marine” was credited with the recall of 1500 Japanese soldiers. He was initially awarded the Silver Star then later upgraded to the Navy Bad. Efforts have been made to petion for him to be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.

More appealing reading can be found in Guy Gabaldon’s autobiography book “Saipan, Suicide Island”.
