Watch: King Rat 1965 123movies, Full Movie Online – When Singapore surrendered to the Japanese in 1942, the Allied P.O.W.s, mostly British, but including a few Americans, were incarcerated in Changi prison. This was a P.O.W. camp like no other. There were no walls or barbed-wire fences, for the simple reason that there was no place for the prisoners to which to escape. Included among the prisoners is the American Corporal King (George Segal), a wheeler-dealer who has managed to established a pretty good life for himself in the camp. While most of the prisoners are near starvation and have uniforms that are in tatters, King eats well and and has crisp clean clothes to wear every day. His nemesis is Lieutenant Robin Grey (Sir Tom Courtenay), the camp Provost who attempts to keep good order and discipline. He knows that King is breaking camp rules by bartering with the Japanese, but can’t quite get the evidence he needs to stop him. King soon forms a friendship with Lieutenant Peter Marlowe (James Fox), an upper class British officer who is fascinated with King’s style and no-rules approach to life. As the story develops, it reveals the hypocrisy of the British class system and for King, the fact that his position in Changi’s “society” is tenuous as best..

My favourite WW2 Film
This film is superb. I saw it many years ago on late night TV and recently bought it on DVD from the US as it has been deleted in the UK. Most of the people I talk to about films have never seen it for some reason. Compared to many WW2 films made in the 60s this film still stands up today and doesn’t seem that dated. The acting and characterisations are excellent and the film contains plenty of social commentary. Segal is brilliant as the American “entrepreneur” and Courtenay makes me cringe as the over zealous British Provost.

I always watch this film hand in hand with another favourite of mine – The Ipcress File. Both highly atmospheric films shot in the same austere manner with doom-laden music scores and highlighting the erosion of Britain’s class structure.
