Fantastic documentary about the early years of the Korean War. Ford arrived just after the Chinese had pushed back the UN forces, and so the film takes on a rather grim tone. In that sense, it creates a great companion piece to Ford's earlier Battle of Midway. In the former film, the enemy is clear, the purpose well-defined. In Korea though, the enemy is never seen in action, and the purpose is aimless. The world has changed, but still the soldiers press on, as they say in the film.
