Its heart is in its right intentions. However, this melodramatic fifties movie paces slower than most war movies. Besides Hudson, there's Don DeFore and that great noir actor Dan Duryea, playing the nice guy here teaching Korean kids how to chew gun.
But there is some race baiting but never on Hudson's part. He is the man in charge and also the Deacon and as such, bears the consciousness of this movie.
If you like and admire Douglas Sirk's other work, you won't be disappointed here.
Interesting look of the Korean War done just four years after the fact.
