I have seen this movie at LEAST 30 times-start to finish, and each time I like it more. Steve McQueen and a 19 year old Candice Bergen (The future Murphy Brown) are superb in this story of war and sort-of romance between an American gunboat Sailor and a missionary's daughter in 1926 China.The Oriental actors are excellent as well, especially Mako, whom I have enjoyed in countless films. It is an extremely well-made film-well acted, and the scenery is gorgeous, being as it was filmed in and around Hong Kong. A 10 star rating-easily!!!
