Experience the pure power of vintage mid-century cinema with this unique film poster of the 1960 war film, Battle of Blood Island. With its gritty direction and production by Joel Rapp under Roger Corman's legendary B-film arm at Filmgroup, this psychological war film manages to create huge tension in its budgetary restrictions.The poster depicts the struggle of two GI soldiers, played with burning conflict by character actors Richard Devon (Moe) and Ron Kennedy (Ken), who have found themselves stranded alone on an isolated Pacific island surrounded by Japanese troops. As the last two members of their exterminated unit, they will have to put aside their religious and personal differences in order to survive in tropical purgatory.Adapted from the early short story of famous author Philip Roth, Expect the Vandals, this film is not a traditional war film but rather a compelling tale of survival. Ideal for fans of classic films and military history.
