58. "King Rat" (1965)

Tonight is a listener request from Matt in Florida. In 1965's "King Rat," the POWs of a Changi prison camp live under their own hierarchy separate from class or military rank. Brash American Corporal King holds outsized sway in the camp, while two Brits - Marlowe and Grey - take different approches to him. Could anything happen to change the pecking order?... Asides include "The Sopranos," and "The Hot Zone."  Drop us a line at worldwartwomovienight@gmail.com Check out our Twitter at http://twitter.com/WWIIMovieNight Consider donating at https://www.patreon.com/WorldWarTwoMovieNight Check out Matt's paintings at https://www.instagram.com/mattpecson/?hl=en
