1961 • Approved • Drama, War • Feb 1961 (USA)
Stars: Jack Ging • Stanley Clements • John Goddard • Doug Henderson
A treaty to end the Korean War is about to be signed, but tensions between enemy forces are still high. Capt. Tombolo (John Goddard), who heads a combat unit with a shaky reputation, orders a pointless, dangerous final patrol, and steps on a "Bouncing Betty," a land mine that explodes only after pressure on it is released. Despite his deep resentment for Tombolo, Cpl. Sharack (Jack Ging), the unit's finest soldier, begins mulling over ways to save his commanding officer from certain doom.

Decent movie that i had never heard of before. Growing up, I used to love watching the old black and white war movies and westerns.

An unknown gem. A soldier's movie.

[@Thompson-xp1mk]

What became of the American corporal who had saved the American captain? I am a South Korean who always thanks American soldiers for having helped us in Korean War . I would live as a slave under the dictatorship of North Korea if they had not helped South Korea at that time .

What do you mean Jack Ging is a super star

[@johnnyboomer4724]

……….!

[@jimjordan5630]

Maybe no "John Wayne's, Clint Eastwood's or Jimmy Stewart's" but several of the actors, such as cooking and others had great careers. One, the actor that played Pumphrey, had a pretty good career as a young man in the late 30's into the 40's and 50's. If you still Google the car if Sniper Ridge you can see them and click their pic for the Wikipedia link for them. The guy that played Tonto was the same guy that played Manolito oh The High Chaparral. Just saying.

Soldier who fired rifle to wake em up was character ACTOR JACK GOING who had his own TV series along side WENDEL COREY called """ELEVENTH HOUR""" in mid 1960s**** and STANLEY CLEMENTS took over for LEO GORCY on the EAST SIDE KIDS 1950s films****

[@chicsartorial]

WOW - wotta GREAT war movie, and all because of pretty fantastic acting by the main cohort, and while NOT a new plot, they PUSHED IT to another level, and it really came together. KInda cerebral, YET action packed ! A rare gem. All on a low budget. Wow...

[@BETTERWORLDSGT]

This was a good one that I never saw, it's really difficult to find a war movie I haven't seen! Jack Ging was also Lt. Quinlan on Riptide!

[@stevo196two9]

Oh my goodness her post of this. Thank you so much. What an enjoyable little suspenseful movie no cussing no sex no tourist violence just the upload shots of a man acting. They don’t make drama movies like they did in the 50s anymore. This was a very believable little war movie thank you so much.

Thank You for the movie

[@anthonytsapralis9393]

I served as a Company Commander in the 10th MTN. We deployed to Mogadishu with the Marines in early '93. I have seen fear in people's eyes in training and combat ( or what they thought was combat). I could never live up to the stories my grandfather told from WW I. Or my uncle in Korea. But, I have seen men and women crack, in other units and I mean, cocoa for cocoa puffs crazy. It is weird. I ended up confronting the other company commander at the freaking airport walking around in his underwear and his 9mm saying he was going to kill the old man (BN CDR).And he didn't see half of what some of my soldier's saw. I loved my soldier they were the best I could ever ask for.

[@sonnysantana5454]

their are many movies about the Korean police action you just haven't seen them , 1' the bridges of toki ri , 2' the steel helmet , 3' fixed bayonets ,4' porkchop hill , 5' sgt striker , 6' the patrol 7' the manchurian candidate , 8' sadly i forget the name of it but it's about the limeys in Korea , 9' victor mature leading the greeks brigade , 10' the hunters , 11' mash , 12' a good 1' with paul Newman , 13' snipers ridge ,14' which is basically a remake of of heaven knows mr allison , 15' the bamboo cage , and a few other b- grade low budget action flicks

[@greekveteran2715]

I had that exact break out that Shurak had in the begining of this movie,exactly the same scenario with mine, only I didn't go to the doctors, I went straight to my officer and threw my mobile phone,right to an officer's head. Thank God I missed him by 2 inches and I only got 1 moth jail , that I didn't even serve because they never gave to me, any days off, of the one moth that I was entitled as a soldier. I had 2 really rough years in my whole service, that I 'll never forget.

I did recognize the faces of the actors who played Cpl Sharack, Cpl Pumphrey, and MSGT Sweatish. They and the two actors playing the Captain and Lieutenant gave excellent performances.

[@aerialcat1]

@Bill23799 : pretty much, but it was a damn good flick even so, wouldn’t you agree?

[@Bill23799]

@@aerialcat1 I agree it was not bad. I just wish in some war film they would stop bunching up on a foot patrol. A hand grenade has a 5 meter kill radius. That is why we were trained to keep 5 meter intervals.

I was late 70s army and wore similar flak jackets in the field. Never knew the significance of the tags sewn on the front side. They were always blank.

Jack Lee Ging (November 30, 1931 - September 9, 2022) was an American actor. He was best known as General Harlan "Bull" Fulbright on NBC's television adventure series The A-Team,

[@robtw88]

His wife (#3) is from my hometown and he was a regular customer at a department store owned by my cousin. He met her when he was in the area filming the original version of the classic children's book 'Where the Red Fern Grows' (also starring Beverly Garland and James Whitmore)

[@henrynasal7682]

i like, good drama, its like watching a "combat" episode but in Korea..

[@garyjarvis2730]

A pretty accurate depiction of what really occurred in many instances. When men were drafted they didn't automatically buy into the military "rah rah". In fact, there were many instances of rather dumb officers being shot by their own men. War was not the disciplined arena but a general free for all when things started to go sideways. This movie successfully captures the essence of that experience.

[@beerdrinker6452]

Very good movie.

[@hhvictor2462]

Even grizzled combat vets dig latrines.

[@ralphh.2200]

It was unusual to see flak jackets (as correctly worn) when the movie started.The end showed why they were actually incorporated; not for period costume accuracy, but for story line development...

[@Ubique2927]

A common misconception prevailed that the S-mine would not detonate until its victim stepped off the trigger. This fallacy was propagated by incorrect United States propaganda during World War II. The mine would detonate whether the trigger was released or not. Standing still or attempting to run from the S-mine would be equally dangerous. The most effective way to survive the mine's detonation would not be to flee but to fall to the ground lying face down as quickly as possible.

[@chrishubbard1442]

They never considered that there might be more than one mine besides the one the Captain was standing on? They all just go strolling out there like that's all there is. Just the one mine.

First scene: The last thing you do is jump up out of a fox hole when you hear a gunshot.😂 This movie will be entertaining!!

[@jerrycoleman882]

In the next scene, during the shootout, Shurack had his helmet on then off, then on. I'm surprised he didn't stop to shave. 😂

[@jerrycoleman882]

In the third scene, the doctor didn't even bother to check him out, just grabbed him and demanded he walk back to the front line .😂

[@jerrycoleman882]

Next scene the Sarg admits he's a friggin coward . Accompanied with the music, I guess we're supposed to cry.😂

[@emilvillafranca766]

The Sgt was a coward.

[@rocketscientisttoo]

I don't know how low the budget was for this comedy, or farce, but it made me chuckle a few times. I wonder if Korea was just a convenient backdrop for this soap opera that was written to give the impression that our military is filled with incompetents? Typical of Hollywood though.

[@Theearthtraveler]

What a great movie!!!

[@allandavis8201]

I had already started on a comment about the military behaviour in this film and then realised that for the sake of the story they had to behave completely differently to the real military, and that is completely forgivable given that they cast and crew are not Hollywood “A” listers, but are making a great film that owes that to them, and I would imagine that the budget wasn’t too big either, hats off to them all. There seems to be a intriguing subplot concerning the Sgt and the newly arrived Cpl that somehow involves the Capt, something from the WWII theatre’s of operations, whatever it is, if it’s a subplot, I hope that it explained soon, my eyelids are drooping and I don’t want to miss the action, I know I can watch it again but I prefer to get all the way through first time 🕰️ around. I got my explanation, it is a good twist in the story. I wonder why nobody heard the Korean soldier creeping up on the NFG (New F…..g Guy), if the audience could hear it then the NFG and the rest of the patrol should have as well, even more so when they were fighting.

The soldiers would have much better luck hitting the enemy (both sides) if they had tried AIMING their weapons, instead of just spraying from the hip.

[@WYO_Cowboy_Joe]

Not able to last even 10 minutes. Script is trite and acting is about as good as my 5th grade boys club when we played war with wooden guns. Music is about the best part.
