About War Is Hell
During the Korean War, a glory-hunting sergeant leads his platoon on a mission against the enemy--not telling them that a cease-fire has just been declared--so that he can win medals. Trouble arises when some members of platoon begin to suspect that something is fishy.
Directed by Burt Topper, War Is Hell leans on a strong ensemble — Baynes Barron, Bobby Byles, Wally Campo — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about war titles of 1961.
