BBC One
on BBC One London

Wide screen adventure with Big John in his greatest roles
Tonight John Wayne stars with John Agar, Forrest Tucker, Adele Mara

A marine sergeant who showed no pity at the recruits' training centre proves that he is a considerate man and a fearless leader during the heroic attack on the strongly defended island of Iwo Jima.
John Wayne gives one of the finest performances of his career in this stirring war film and was a serious contender for an Academy Award.
