Pork Chop Hill (1959)
Country: US
Technical: bw 97m
Director: Lewis Milestone
Cast: Gregory Peck, Harry Guardino
Synopsis:
During the Korean war an American unit tries to take a hill while being bombarded with Chinese Communist propaganda from loudspeakers.
Review:
Solid war film after the manner of A Walk in the Sun. A new realism informs the combat scenes, tension is well sustained through a one-day timescale, but the enemy is too coarsely presented as those low-down, cheating, slant-eyed Reds, particularly the dee-jay.
