With so little movies covering the Korean war this one really stands out. We see firsthand how sorties were flown off of early carriers deploying first generation jet aircraft and what some pilots had to put up with as they struggled to uphold our way of life. Two of the great all time stars with William Holden and Grace Kelly really make this movie POP! and show how families of our service men and women had to put up with long periods of seperation. All in all a real gem of screen filmdom that will stand the trials of time.
There weren't too many films made of U.S. Naval aviation during the Korean War. Fortunately, this one was made which set the standard for others to achieve. Brubaker (played by William Holden) became quite famous when this film came out and it was considered one of the finest jet fighter movies of its' day. The acting was fairly good and there were only a few concessions to Hollywood. Definately a must see film. While this is definately an older film, "The Bridges at Toko-Ri" was reformatted for this North American DVD in 2001. My reviews are written with no knowledge as to who the potential seller may be.
Can't go wrong with William Holden. Thanks to every man who put on a uniform, we love you!

Nice to see a clean film not needing a rating. Sad to see a film about Korea and no peace all these many years later after so many lives lost.
