Fixed Bayonets! (1951)

Fixed Bayonets! (1951) was the second film to depict the Korean War by writer/director Samuel Fuller (Merrill's Marauders, The Big Red One). The critical and commercial success of his earlier Korean film, The Steel Helmet, garnered Fuller a bigger budget, bigger cast, bigger stars, bigger enemies (Chinese Communists), and bigger special effects this time around. The U.S. Army also provided support for the movie, including technical advice from Medal of Honor recipient Raymond Harvey. The movie was also the screen debut of James Dean, who makes a cameo appearance at the end of the film. Fixed Bayonets! is a straightforward combat movie concerning leadership under pressure, with less of the moral content of The Steel Helmet, probably due to the hand of Army censors.
