Movie Review: SAMUEL FULLER, OPUS 4
Summary: 4 Stars

***1/2 1951. Based on a novel by John Brophy, FIXED BAYONETS! was written and directed by Samuel Fuller. After the success of The Steel Helmet, Fuller was hired by the Fox company to direct another war thriller about the Korea war that had just started. This time, it's the story of a platoon ordered to stop the red army while the rest of the regiment is trying to come back to its base. Replace the STEEL HELMET temple by a cave hidden in the middle of a hill covered by snow and you have FIXED BAYONETS!. Samuel Fuller was more interested in the study of the characters than in the originality of the plot. Anyway, after a film like THE STEEL HELMET, any movie about Korea will seem inferior. Recommended.

Movie Review: Good solid Sam Fuller Movie
Summary: 4 Stars

A solid Sam Fuller directed movie with outstanding performances by Gene Evans and Richard Basehart. Classic Fuller with more dialogue than 'action'. Similar to his other Korean War movie "Steel Helmet" including the use of WWII Infantry packs in Korea which had been replaced by then. Overall, a good movie for a Saturday afternoon. Fuller was a veteran WWII Infantryman who showed us the grimness of the front-line soldier's world. It would make a great DVD set with "Steel Helmet". Throw in "Big Red One" and you would have the key Sam Fuller war movies.

Summary: 4 Stars

this movie is worth a spot in my collection.
other than some typical american rah rah left over from ww2 era movie cookie cutters, this is actually a fairly interesting movie. solid performances are given all around. this movie makes a good case for esp in the non verbal communication phenomenon. i cant think of another conventional movie that really delves into this phenomenon. war movie buffs will love this one, because it is rarely, if ever played.keep your eyes peeled for a cameo performance from james dean!
