"HOME OF BRAVE"
OPLntriG SUNDAY,
CAPiTOL THEATRE
GI Peter Moss (Janies Edwards)
is a battle casualty, paralyzed from
the waist down, suffering from the
shock of his experience on a small
South Pacific atoll, aggravated by
his deep-rooted sense of persecu
tion because he is a Negro.
In the sympathetic hands of ar
Army psychiatrist (Jeff Corey)
Mossy begins to relive the hatefu
Incidents of his past.
This feature, “Home of the Brave.'
opens Sunday at the Capitol The
atre.
It begins on the day he reports
to young Major Dennis E. Robin
son, Jr. (Douglas Dick) who was
setting out on a dangerous map
making mission with four men to
aid him. They included Tech Ser
geant Carl Mingo, 30. Finch (Lloyd
Bridges), Mossy’s age, and Corporal
T. J. Everitt. or “T.J.” as he was
known in the Army (Steve Brodie),
in his late thirties, and Mossy.
The five men set out for the is
land. Finch. Mingo and the Major
don’t care about Mossy’s being a
Negro. Finch because Mossy was an
old school friend. Mingo because
the thought never occurred to him.
and the Major because the Colonel
(Cliff Clark) had assigned Peier
Moss, a surveying specialist in the
Corps of Engineers, to the Job. Eut
to T.J., Negroes were inherently
“yellow-bellied Niggers.”
The men spend four days on (he
island, during which they map the
terrain, indicate appropriate land
ing beaches, key artillery posts and
defense positions. Jnp snipers, the
dripping growth of the jungle, the
mosquitoes, the heat and the immi
nence of danger begin to work on
ill the men. T.J. is the first to break.
The situation becomes tense and
there are thrills as -the story de
velops.
