Movie Reviews of Fixed Bayonets
Movie Review: Would I Measure Up?
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie had haunted me ever since I first saw it on Los Angeles TV when I was twelve years old. Being the son of a career soldier it was always expected that some day I would serve in the Army. I always wondered whether I would measure up and be able to lead men in combat.
In 1991 I found myself leading a team of American soldiers advising an army in a very deadly war against a communist insurgency. Leadership in combat is the ultimate challenge and when my tour ended, I felt no different then how Richard Basehart's character did at the end of this movie.
Though a bit dated, this movie is my all time favorite and definitely a keeper.
Movie Review: Korean War Shoot-em-up !
Summary: 5 Stars
Richard Basehart stars as a Corporal who does not like the responsibilities of command. When the Chinese invade the Division must pull back across the river and set up new defence positions. A stay behind platoon is left on the opposite bank of the river to hold a critical pass. One by one the platoon's leaders are killed and it is up to Basehart to save the day. Excellent Korean War drama/action movie. On par with "Pork Chop Hill" and "One Minute To Zero". Also stars Gene Evans as the Sergeant and Skip Homier as a soldier. Highly recommend!Movie Review: Sam Fuller's classic finally on DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Some of the best work that came out of the Hollywood studio system of the 1950s is tragically not available on DVD, but the release of Sam Fuller's "Fixed Bayonets" is a step in the right direction. This low-budget, Korean War story covers all of the great themes of the time: personal sacrifice for the greater good, every soldier's struggle with fear, and the capacity for heroism in the most unlikely places. Now, how about a DVD of "The Steel Helmet," Fuller's other great Korean War film?Movie Review: Very good movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a very good movie showing the diffrent characters and how they handled themselves. if you are a fan of classic war movies, heres one you wont want to mis. Good acting and plenty of action. Theres not enough movies of the Korean War out there and this is a good movie.Movie Review: A tale of the Korean War
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a taut war movie from Samuel Fuller. A platoon is cut off from the rest of the outfit and has to try to work itself back. Richard Basehart plays the corporal who ends up in charge as men get killed off one by one. Look for James Dean as one of the soldiers.
