GI Lassie and the Korean adventure


The Young and The Brave (1963)

Directed by Francis D. Lyon this film stars Rory Calhoun, William Bendix and Richard Jaeckel. During the Korean war a group of escaped American POWs are helped to find their way home by a Korean boy and his dog.

It's pretty clear that production costs on this film were kept pretty low so this is not the best looking film you will ever come across. The plot is pretty simplistic and is not particularly subtle at times but otherwise is not too bad even if it seems more like what you would expect to see from a Disney produced TV film. In the end this is not what you would call a serious film really and is maybe more suited to the younger viewers.

2/5
