El soldado perdido

So this is the film where wartime peril doubles as home renovation porn. After his plane goes down in 1941 China, an American bomber pilot is taken in by a widowed village woman whose hospitality extends to full structural fortification. It plays like a survival story interrupted by IKEA catalogs, but somehow keeps a straight face until the end.
