Review of Pork Chop Hill (1959) by Barry K — 25 Aug 2011
Lt. Joe Clemons (Gregory Peck) has been given the order: take Pork Chop Hill. If It's taken by the Chinese, U.S. negotiators at the Panmunjom peace conference would lose face with their Communist adversaries - and unthinkable outcome. And so, Clemons leads his troops into combat, to fight for an object that they know to be strategically pointless. But they also know that an order and they must take Pork Chop Hill - or die trying - so that millions can live in freedom tomorrow for what Clemons and his men will sacrifice today.
Also stars George Peppard, Harry Guardino, Rip Torn, George Shibata, James Edwards, Woody Strode, Bob Steele and Norman Fell.
Directed by Lewis Milestone.
