Pork Chop Hill (1959) starring Gregory Peck, Harry Guardino, Rip Torn, George Peppard, Robert Blake, Martin Landau, Harry Dean Stanton, Gavin MacLeod, many more. Based on a true story. A group of combat soldiers, led by Lieutenant Joe Clemons (Peck), try to take a seemingly worthless hill near the end of the Korean War. It's 1953, and peace negotiations with the enemy are already under way. Neither side, however, has stopped fighting. When Clemons' men do take the hill, they have to immediately shift over to defense. On the American side, it's one SNAFU after another. It's interesting to see a combat movie that was made after the Korean War, but before the Vietnam War. Those were definitely different times. The captions on this film are just adequate. Grade: B
