A Bit Tedious Until Final Half Hour
11 December 2006
The last half hour of this war movie was very good as William Holden and others bomb bridges, the ones in the film is named. Holden is then forced to ditch his plane after being hit and then he and rescuers Mickey Rooney (yes, you read right) and Earl Holiman shoot it out with the Koreans.

Those scenes - and the shocking ending which I won't mention - are the highlights of this film.

Unfortunately, most of the movie - especially the first half of it, is somewhat boring. Very little happens. However, it certainly picked up at the end and had that memorable ending. This is one of the few movies that involved the Korean War. You just don't see many movies about that conflict.

Note: Grace Kelly gets good billing but does not have much of a role.
