Based on the autobiographical book by
Agnes Newton Keith,
Three Came Home stars
Claudette Colbert as
Mrs. Keith. Trapped in Borneo during the Japanese invasion,
Mrs. Keith and her British husband (
Patric Knowles) are penned up in a prison camp along with several other subjects. Despite the humanitarian views of camp commander
Col. Suga (
Sessue Hayakawa),
Mrs. Keith is subject to torture, starvation, and humiliation at the hands of the guards, with
Suga helpless to intervene lest he incur the wrath of his own superiors.
Three Came Home contains several unforgettable moments, including a comic interlude between the male and female prisoners that ends abruptly with a barrage of Japanese bullets, and the heartwrenching scene wherein
Suga learns that his family has been killed in a bombing raid. Since lapsing into the public domain in 1977,
Three Came Home has popped up innumerable times on cable television.
