A Hill in Korea, or also titled Hell in Korea in the U.S., is a 1956 British war film by director Julian Amyes, based on the 1953 literary novel of the same name by Max Catto. During their retreat in the Korean War in 1951, a small group of British soldiers finds themselves in danger as the men are cut off from the rest of the British army and their allies. Left to their own devices, they are chased by a large group of Chinese soldiers and are surrounded in a temple on a hill.
The following weapons were used in the film A Hill in Korea:
Lieutenant Butler and Sgt. Payne (Harry Andrews) have Sten Mk Vs without the foregrip as their primary weapons. Butler attaches his one with No. 7 Mk. 1/4 bayonets. Pte. Docker (Michael Medwin) gets Butler's Sten during the final stand.
The main battle rifle of Chinese soldiers in the movie is the German Gewehr 1871/84 which is equipped with Seitengewehr 71 bayonets. Private Wyatt (Ronald Lewis) grabs a dropped Gewehr from the battlefield to use it against a machine gun position. The use of this Mauser in Chinese service is not entirely historically incorrect since the Qing dynasty purchased a large stock of the single-shot predecessor in the 1870s. But at this time, Chinese forces were mostly equipped with Soviet Mosin Nagants or their Type 24 rifles.
Bren Mark II light machine guns are widely used by British soldiers. Notably, users are Private Rabin (Harry Landis), Lance Corporal Hodge (Robert Shaw), Pte. Neill (Barry Lowe), Pte O'Brien (Robert Brown), Pte. Kim of the South Korean Army (Charles Laurence) and Pte. Henson (David Morrell). Sgt. Payne and Private Wyatt can be seen firing them at the final battle.
Two Chinese soldiers can be seen with unknown stick grenades.
