one of the few classic film about the korean war and pork chop hill be a genuinely good specimen of a nitty gritty war film in the pre blood and gut era . what the movie lack in realistic language and violence it more than make up for in intensity . peck be amazing and a usual and a lt. joe clemons and the man lead the charge on the hill . his performance of a man on the edge be very believable . sympathize with his plight to try and get reinforcement or the heck outta there be an easy task . the early civil right era film seem to also touch on some social issue and show a camaraderie between all ethnicity . overall and this be a fine example of a classic war film with one of the fine american actor of all time in the lead role . you can not go wrong .
