After losing his bride in a Luftwaffe air raid, bomber pilot Forrester becomes a solitary killing machine, who doesn't care whether he dies. The reckless Canadian pilot is both admired and feared by the rest of his squadron in World War II Burma. The squadron physician is assigned to determine the embittered Bill Forrester's fitness for duty. To break through the nightmare-haunted man's wall of silence, the physician drives Forrester to visit an outpost of English-speaking refugees, which includes an alluring young Burmese woman.

I can very well remember when Gregory Peck came to Ceylon to film "The Purple Plain". I was living in Matale only a few miles away from Dambulla. My father who worked in the Telecommunication as an inspector was assigned to work at the location site in Dambulla to help establish communications for the film crew. He told me that he was working there and was surprised at the preparations that were being made for the filming. I would have given anything to see Gregory Peck, but somehow I could not go with him to the location site. - @Wednesday, June 13, 2018 8:15 AM
