Justine Woolf: Well, you look 1000% better today.
Martin French: I feel better.
Justine Woolf: That's wonderful! For as long as I've known you, you've never even felt good. Why the big improvement?
Martin French: Aw, I suppose it's 'cause we're past the problem of Larry.
Justine Woolf: Problem? That's a funny way to put it.
Martin French: Well, it *was* a problem. Larry's become important to me. It's a strange thing; no one's ever been important to me before. Now Larry is and, in a way, so is everyone on the boat.
Justine Woolf: I figured you would warm up one day.
Martin French: No, you don't understand. I could've come and gone and never cared what happened to any one of you, but...
Justine Woolf: Palo Alma was too much for you...
Martin French: That's right. You see, what happened back there in one day suddenly made me want to know those men. The things they did, they just shouldn't have done. I had to know why. And the only people who knew, were dead. Darby and Hito died forever the day they came to life; I won't try to explain that. You know what I mean. Larry almost died, I expected him to, and then somehow they all changed. They became new men. Men worth knowing. But they only lived that single day. Do you get what I'm driving at?

A lot to like, a lot to hate.

The story idea for "Ghost of the China Sea" is very good and it intrigued me. Sadly, however, some of the writing was disappointing--with some very cliched characters as well as their dialog.

The film begins just after the Japanese invaded the Philippines during World War II. The American and Filipino forces are in retreat and the movie is about a rag-tag group of civilians and a navy seaman as they try to avoid the Japanese and make it to safety.

The best thing about this film is the leader of the group, played by David Brian. His character is tough, cynical and a bit blood-thirsty....as he smiles as his men machine gun a group of Japanese prisoners! But the rest of the characters are pretty terrible. There's the female who is only there to look nice and to be a love interest for the hero and the preacher--both of which say the dumbest things and COULD have been interesting characters. Overall, a mixed bag that doesn't amount to a rousing film nor one I can wholeheartedly endorse.

By the way, early in the film the group is being held prisoner by a lone Japanese private. The man who plays the private is Kam Fong--the guy who played Chin Ho Kelly on "Hawaii Five-O" for about a decade.
