King Rat (1965)

King Rat

King Rat, directed by Bryan Forbes, was released in 1965. When Singapore surrendered to the Japanese in 1942, the Allied POWs, mostly British but including a few Americans, were incarcerated in Changi prison. Among the American prisoners is Cpl. King, a wheeler-dealer who has managed to establish a pretty good life for himself in the camp. (Letterboxd)
