Reviews

scarr-6 Doug McClure, Katherine Ross, and Ricardo Montalban star with a host of adorable Filipino kids in a good chase movie, set in the Philippines immediately after the ball of Bataan. Many of us will appreciate seeing a sweet young Ms Ross at about the time of The Graduate. Others will enjoy Montalban as a sympathetic priest caring for orphans, insisting on moral behavior in wartime. Other highlights are the utterly unforgettable Song of the Filipino Children, and perhaps the best untranslated but perfectly communicated dialog between two Japanese officers when they realize they've been foxed. Fine acting throughout.This is one of the movies you see at random as a kid and it stays with you forever.Based on a board recommendation, I purchased a DVD copy for US$24 at www.rarevideo.ca and received it in good order, quickly, with no hassle. Bit grainy, probably a dub off TV but perfectly enjoyable.

Dandep52 There was a scene in this movie of the infamous Bataan death march. We're then HS students of Gubat,Sorsogon,Philippines (where the shooting took place)and we were taken as extra's soldiers in the long march. As far as I know, I think this is the only movie that the shooting took place in our town.The main actors and cast in this movie stayed in our town and enjoyed the unspoiled and beautiful Rizal beach. Coming from a rural town it was a fascination to see big Hollywood actors and actresses in person.I have not seen this movie that's why I'm very interested to get a copy of this film. Can anybody help me secure a copy of this movie. Thanks a lot.

merc108 I have always enjoyed watching the film "The Longest Hundred Miles" since I was a kid. I have recently seen the film and noted some veteran Filipino actors who played Japanese soldiers. At the end of the film the cast did not include them. I was quite disappointed since these were two highly respected actors. The first Japanese general who invaded the church was played by Vic Silayan. He has appeared in numerous films in the Philippines and in the U.S. including " No Man is an Island" and " Night of the Cobra Woman ". Silayan also co-wrote a book about Filipino cinema that reflected all his work.The second Japanese general who pursued the contraption bus in the film was played by Vic Diaz. Much like Vic Silayan he has appeared in a lot of Filipino and American movies like " Impasse " and " Daughters of Satan ". Diaz was known for his smooth talk and persuasiveness on screen.I feel these two actors have been overlooked during "The Longest Hundred Miles ". This is my salute to Vic Diaz and vic Silayan for their excellent work.

occupant-1 McClure and company, at the time of the Vietnam war, manage to tell an optomistic story during a time without much good news. As others have probably mentioned, the song "500 Miles" (covered by the Kingston Trio and others) was popularized by this film.
