Average War Flick - Retreat Hell
17 September 2022
Frank Lovejoy stars in this Inchon tale about the Korean War. Although entertaining in spots, it suffers from the use of too much much stock footage and a shortness of character development. The interaction of the marines in this film falls short of the WW2 action films of the same ilk. The language is stilted, and the beach landing is just about the only sequence of good scenes in the film.

Lovejoy is his usual one-dimensional self, and the supporting cast tries to bail out the film by themselves. The sergeant is pretty good (he is a bogey look-alike). However, the rest of the cast is pretty much average. OK for a dull night.
