A glossy, star-laden Korean War movie that manages to be both superbly entertaining and extremely moving, thanks to the solid direction of the under-rated Mark Robson. The source material is from prolific novelist James A Michener, and his view of the futility of the war in Korea is given expert emphasis by the fine performances of William Holden as a reserve officer recalled to service and Fredric March as a gruff admiral. Grace Kelly is simply luminous as Holden's navy wife, and the movie won an Oscar for its special effects.

Ambitiously staged action thriller with points to make about war, death and politics: a well-worn American formula pitched very hard.

Entertaining but not a Topgun
An entertaining film, based around the United States invading Korea in the 1950's, from the perspective of the American Navy. Demonstrates the bonds forged between servicemen despite 'fighting the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time'.
Those watching from a historical perspective may be disappointed, as the film is short on facts and historical information.
One for those who like films of that era or those who like aircraft carriers and fast jets (but don't expect a Topgun). -
