Tonight's Movie Is 'Pork Chop Hill' (1959)



From Wikipedia: Pork Chop Hill is a 1959 American Korean War film starring Gregory Peck, Rip Torn and George Peppard. The film, which was the final war film directed by Lewis Milestone, is based upon the book by U.S. military historian Brigadier General S. L. A. Marshall. It depicts the first fierce Battle of Pork Chop Hill between the U.S. Army's 7th Infantry Division, and Chinese and North Korean forces in April 1953.

WNU Editor: A classic film, my only beef with this copy is that it ends a few minutes before it is suppose to. As to the real battle itself, Wikipedia's entry is here.
