"The Thin Red Line" is a 1964 film based on James Jones's novel of the same name. The film follows the life of a number of US soldiers during the battle of Guadalcanal.

The black and white film was filmed in Spain. Bernard Gordon's screenplay of Jones's work concentrates on the relationship between the young rule-breaking, "survival-at-any-cost", Private Doll (Keir Dullea) and the older veteran Sgt Welsh (Jack Warden).

Another film adaptation of the novel was released in 1998.
