À propos de ce film

Set during the Korean War, "Pork Chop Hill" illustrates true heroism in war, when soldiers in the field fight the real battle while diplomats and UN officials attempt democracy as their troups are bleeding and dying. Gregory Peck leads a 135-man unit on the attack of the Chinese-held Pork Chop Hill. When reinforcements finally arrive, only 25 of Peck's men survive. Well known as one of the best depictions of life in the crossfire, with an uncanny "you are there" feeling.

Notes et avis

This is a triumph for Gregory Peck who is ably supported by a myriad of great actors. The tense struggles that dominated the battle ground around the 38th parallel in the final days of the conflict are well represented in this superior war film! Well worth watching!

Should never be colorized - needs the b&w film noir quality. Ultra realistic, gritty, War Movie, All star cast.

An absolutely brilliant movie...very atmospheric and excellently filmed. Recommended!!
