He entered WW II as a soldier and left the P.O.W. camp a king. Oscar-nominee George Segal (1967, Best Supporting Actor, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf) became a star with his performance in this epic WW II drama based on the best-selling novel by Shogun author James Clavell. The movie chronicles the scams of a streetwise GI held in a Japanese prison camp. Under the harrowing camp conditions, he rises to a position of power over his military and social superiors, manipulating those around him and controlling the prison's black market. King Rat is a powerful exploration of one man's struggle to survive and flourish against all odds. It was nominated for two 1965 Academy Awards (Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography). |
