Review of The Steel Helmet (1951) by Grant S — 12 Nov 2015
Hardly a classic but a good war drama nonetheless.
Set in the Korean War, a grizzled veteran sergeant is the sole survivor.
Of an American patrol that has been ambushed, taken prisoner and.
Massacred. He links up with a medic and a South Korean child and,.
Ultimately, a US infantry squad. The squad set up camp in an abandoned.
Temple that had strategic value as an Observation Post...
Decent, but not great. Fairly gritty and realistic but also quite.
Clumsy. Dialogue and sub-plots are a bit lame at times.
Performances vary too. No real standouts, though Gene Evans is solid as.
Sergeant Zack. William Chun is very unconvincing as the Korean kid,.
Though, at least is not irritating (unlike many child characters).
