	Encyclopedia: Pork Chop Hill (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		PORK CHOP HILL is ostensibly based on the actual battle, and a qualifier at the beginning even states that most of the names haven't been changed.
		PORK CHOP HILL is anti-war to the extent that it condemns the rear echelon desk jockeys tempted to sacrifice American boys on the altar of political expediency, or just from pure incompetence.
		Pork Chop Hill has plenty of conventional action, but lacks context and depth, symptomatic of the fact that the film was made just a very few years after the Korean War.

		On the evening of March 23, a regi-mental- sized force, consisting of elements of the 67th and 141st Chinese divisions, assaulted both Hill 266, nicknamed “Old Baldy,” and Hill 255, known as “Pork Chop Hill.” The fighting was intense, but more for the hills’ political and symbolic value than their military significance.

		The Chinese had lost between 600 and 800 men in the fight for Old Baldy and Pork Chop Hill, but it was also costly for the 7th Division whose casualties exceeded 300 dead, wounded and missing.

		This gritty, grim Korean war drama presents the grueling ordeal of a platoon charged with taking a hill of no military value during the final days of the war.
		Shot against a bleak, battle-scarred mountain of white dust honeycombed with fl trenches, director Lewis Milestone presents the devastating battle as a meaningless sacrifice of hundreds of lives spent in a political game of chicken.

		Compounding the seeming pointlessness of the assignment are the Panmunjom peace talks, which the troops believe may end the war at any minute, so that they are reluctant to participate in what may be its final battle.
		PORK CHOP HILL is an ode to the common American infantryman, soldiers who manage to retain their honor and dignity despite being ordered into an insane action by a top brass unwilling to lose face to the enemy, even though the conflict's end appears imminent.
		Peck is outstanding as the resolute but compassionate commander, and Rip Torn, Harry Guardino, Woody Strode, James Edwards (veteran of Sam Fuller's excellent Korean war film THE STEEL HELMET), and Robert Blake provide solid support.
