this be one of the great movie about a single battle . it stand alongside zulu and hamburger hill a the best and in my opinion . an all star cast of both establish actor and future star under the able direction of lewis milestone bring this desperate battle to life . crisp black and white cinematography be use to great effect . gregory peck be outstanding a lt clemons and the support cast feature woody strode and harry guardino and george peppard and martin landau and robert blake be top notch . an added bonus be george shibata and the first japanese american graduate of west point and who play lt ohashi . this film be well paced and building to the assault on pork chop hill by introduce the men and establish their position in the company . the movie also show the tedious and frustrating talk to end the war . the men be present a individual and but not clichés . gregory peck performance be oscar worthy and he project command presence and competence . lewis milestone be know for his great all quiet on the western front and a walk in the sun . this picture be easily on a level with both of them . the battle scene be realistic and the emotion while fear and hope and frustration and determination be portray brilliantly . this be a must see for war movie fan a 10 star movie .
