There's a recent movie- a good one- about this operation. It's called 'The Great Raid'.
Different operation entirely. "The Great Raid", which is indeed a very good movie, is about the Rangers and other forces (both US and Filipino) that rescued about 500 POWs at the Cabanatuan prison camp before the larger Los Banos raid (which was led by the Parachute Infantry, not the Ranger).

I had a brother-in-arms, now deceased, who was part of the 11th Airborne who participated in this rescue.
I’m curious how many vets have commented negatively to this article.
