Starring: Frank Lovejoy
Adventures of a marine unit in the Korean war.
A standard war film, but one which focuses on the Marines feelings & insecurities as well as the action. For this to work, you have to care about the characters. The Commander grows on you & the captain comes through, but the undoubted star is the young McDermott who gives a lovely nieve performance. There's lots of action & explosion and although it's a bit dated and cheesily patriotic at the end, it's not at all bad. 6/10
