Three Came Home was a brave film to make for its time due to its balanced perspective of two cultures represented by two main characters, showing the inhumane and human sides of war. It failed at the box office though critically acclaimed.
In 1950 so soon after World War II, it was unusual to see any Japanese characters portrayed in a sensitive light in an American film. However, Three Came Home makes an effort to be fair in its depiction. Three Came Home was released in early 1950 with little fanfare, though reviews were positive.

A post-war Hollywood's-eye-view of the Japanese prison camps in the Philippines. The high average ratings here are well deserved for a wartime-drama as old as this one is. The acting is superb. The simple story holds significant weight due to the high quality of the script and performances.
