Fort Graveyard

Sergeant Kosugi struck a superior officer. He was charged with insubordination for it. As punishment he was sent to China. The year falls in the last days of the war. His new commander is Captain Sakuma. Sakuma is harsh and overbearing. He gives Kosugi a task. The task is to make a group ready for combat. That group used to be the military band. Some of them hardly count as soldiers. Kosugi has to train them. There is very little time. The danger they face is real. The film tells the war and comedy together. Toshirō Mifune, Makoto Satō and Tatsuya Nakadai appear in the hundred and thirty two minute film, a Japanese production Kihachi Okamoto finished in 1965.
