Product Information
One of the most exciting and heart-wrenching epics ever made, THE SAND PEBBLES is a masterpiece of storytelling, with exceptional performances by a stellar cast. The complex tale begins simply enough in 1926 China, where a group of American soldiers are patrolling the Yangtze River on a gunboat called the San Pablo. The crew members, who call themselves Sand Pebbles, includes Jake Holman (Steve McQueen), a dispassionate but capable navy machinist, and his only friend, Frenchy (Richard Attenborough), a sailor in love with an English-educated Chinese girl, Maily (Marayat Andriane), who has been sold into prostitution. Strong feelings of nationalism have been sweeping through China, however, and when Chiang Kai-shek moves against the feudal warlords, the United States decides to treat the upheaval as a civil war, and the San Pablo is ordered to confine its function to protection of American civilians in the area. Included among them are Mr. Jameson (Larry Gates), a missionary, and Shirley Eckert (Candice Bergen), a schoolteacher with whom Jake falls in love. Soon Jake finds himself in the middle of an international military crisis when his native assistant, Po-han (Mako), is brutally tortured in an attempt to draw the San Pablo's fire, and the boat's inexperienced and prideful captain (Richard Crenna) wants to give his humiliated ship and disgraced crew a chance for glory. THE SAND PEBBLES--with its expert cinematography, moving score, and riveting locations--is a memorable viewing experience brought to life by the multitalented director Robert Wise.Product Identifiers

THE ROAD SHOW VERSION IS BOSS
I don't usually write reviews but I have to say that I had received this DVD set of two discs well packaged and in a timely manner. As a retired MM1; the story reminds me of the past stationed in the far east and having been obligated to train some sailors of the Philippines. So I had to have this for my collection. Thanks!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Sand Pebbles (Steve McQueen) are "TOP SHELF"
Steve McQueen, in my opinion, was the greatest actor of all time....In every movie he made...he is bound and determined to do what he believes what is right..despite the opposition...and you can't help rooting for him...The coolest cat ever.....This particular movie is filled with everything a good movie should have...Pulls at many emotions...Other actors provide excellent performances as well....Definitely one to have in the old dvd collection...5 STARS...Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Great Intro to an era of history rarely taught in schools.
The Sand Pebbles is a classic about early 20th Century China. The story is epic and the cast of characters is full of famous folks. If you are interested in this era of history this movie is a great semi-historically correct intro.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Outstanding beyond any negativity.
The Sand Pebbles directed by Robert Wise is and outstanding movie made by an outstanding director. I enjoyed it immensely. Objective Burma was also very good and you can't go wrong when Errol Flynn is starring in the movie.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

THE SAND PEBBLES
very nicely done version. Full length and provides the old theater experience at home. There is the initial dark screen overture (full length during a typical theater seating) playing parts of all the music within the movie itself - followed by the first half the feature movie - followed by a several minutes dark screen "INTERMISSION" with music fomr the movie playing - followed by teh 2nd half of movie - and ending movie credits... A wonderful true 1966 movie experience. Well Done!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
