Fort Graveyard (血と砂, Chi to Suna, "Blood and Sand") is a 1965 war film directed by Kihachi Okamoto and starring Toshiro Mifune, Makoto Satō, Reiko Dan and Tatsuya Nakadai. It is adapted from the short story Kanashi Sanki ("Sorrowful Battle Diary") by Keiichi Ito.[1][2] It was produced by Tomoyuki Tanaka and features a score by Masaru Sato, much of which comprises of orchestral renditions of Dixieland tunes, notably When the Saints Go Marching In.

Plot[edit]

During the final days of the Second Sino-Japanese War, Sergent Kosugi (Mifune) is punished for striking a superior officer (Nakadai) after disagreeing with his execution of a supposed deserter. Kosugi is assigned to lead a group of inexperienced band geeks, a rambunctious cook (Sato), a disillusioned gravedigger (Yūnosuke Itō) and a pacifist soldier (Hideyo Amamoto) to retake a Chinese-occupied fort nicknamed "Fort Graveyard", considered a near-impossible task. During their travels, Kosugi is pursued by Oharu (Reiko Dan), a comfort woman who loves him, and bonds with his young subordinates, all leading up to a tragic climax.
