The producers wanted Robert Mitchum to play the leading role for this movie, but the real Dean Hess did not want someone who was convicted for marijuana use to portray him in the movie. So, Hudson got the part. I found it a touching film that portrayed the early days of Korea. The Mustangs had the correct markings and the aerial sequences are good. The enemy Yaks were actually T-28 trainers. War is filled with tragedy, and the killing of civilians in this movie brings that fact home. It is an ... Read More

Oh, how Hollywood has difficulty treating spiritual issues. The true story of how an American pilot was moved by God to help defenseless Korean orphans could have been treated with the serious it deserved, say like in the production values attending "Bridge Over the River Quai". As it is a credible attempt was made here, albiet a little corny. Worth the watch; not a classic.

Based upon a true event from the "forgotten war", this film should be remade and credit given to ALL who made the orphan rescue happen. History shows that the true heros of this event were the ones given little or no credit. Sgt Meryl Strang is not even mentioned. Oh well...the story is compelling and the actors although not Korean do a fine job. Even Rock Hudson gives a good performance...now if only they would remake it and tell the whole story...

This story of a preacher who leaves the ministry to alleviate his conscience by joining the Korean War effort and ends up helping Koren orphans reteams producer Ross Hunter, director Douglas Sirk and star Rock Hudson. However, this war melodrama is not as good or entertaining as their previous collaborations, the grand-scale soap operas "Magnificent Obsession" and "All That Heaven Allows". Probably because its based on the true story of a war hero, Sirk doesn't push genre conventions as he did on ... Read More

"Battle Hymn" is the story of a minister (Rock Hudson) who returns to train Korean soldiers to fight after he feels he has lost his calling. Of course he finds redemption and his true faith when he becomes involved with a group of Korean orphans and a young Korean/Indian woman that cares for them. Despite several brilliantly staged action sequences this film is not so much a war saga as it is a tale of introspection and finding courage in religion to carry on. The reason is simple; the film's director ... Read More
