Lewis Milestone's Filmography on Tv

Mutiny on the Bounty (1962)

The Bounty leaves Portsmouth in 1787. Its destination: to sail to Tahiti and load bread-fruit. Captain Bligh will do anything to get there as fast as possible, using any means to keep up a strict discipline. When they arrive at Tahiti, it is like a paradise for the crew, something completely different than the living hell aboard the ship. On the way back to England, officer Fletcher Christian becomes the leader of a mutiny.

They Who Dare (1954)

Halls of Montezuma (1951)

Richard Widmark leads an all star cast of marine leathernecks including Jack Palance, Robert Wagner, Karl Malden, Richard Boone and Jack Webb into battle on a heavily fortified island.

As the mission progresses, the squad and leader overcome many challenges as they are transformed into an effective and efficient fighting unit.

The Strange Love of Martha Ivers (1946)

Three childhood friends, Martha, Walter and Sam, share a terrible secret. Over time, the ambitious Martha and the pusillanimous Walter have married.

But the unexpected return of Sam, after years of absence, deeply disturbs the life of the odd couple.

A Walk In The Sun (1945)

In the 1943 invasion of Italy, one American platoon lands, digs in, then makes its way inland to attempt to take a fortified farmhouse, as tension and casualties mount.

The Purple Heart (1944)

This is the story of the crew of a downed bomber, captured after a run over Tokyo, early in the war. Relates the hardships the men endure while in captivity, and their final humiliation: being tried and convicted as war criminals.
