How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A pulpy 1950s adventure where American soldiers trek through hostile swampland, battling both the treacherous landscape and Native American resistance. It's a survival spectacle built on period attitudes that have aged poorly, but functional as a propulsive action picture.
