Description
The Sand Pebbles tells many stories. It's the story of China a slumbering giant that rouses itself to the cries of it's people - and of the Americans who are caught in its blood awakening. It's the story of Frenchy (Richard Attenborough) a crewman on the U.S.S. San Pablo who kidnaps his Chinese bride from the auction block. It's the story of Shirley (Candice Bergen) a teacher and her first unforgettable taste of love. It's the story of Captain Collins (Richard Crenna) ready to defy anyone for his country's defense. Most of all it's the story of Jake Holman (Steve McQueen) a sailor who has given up trying to make peace with anything - including himself. McQueen gives what is probably the best performance of his career. It's not surprising that he Mako and the movie were up for Oscars. Portraying a character with conflicting loyalties to friend and flag McQueen expertly conveys the confusion that leads into his final line: What the hell happened? It's to his credit that we already know.System Requirements:Running Time: 179 minutesFormat: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/CLASSICS Rating: NR UPC: 024543452096 Manufacturer No: 2245209
