Lewis Milestone's Pork Chop Hill (1959) is a war story directed by a gentleman who knew how to direct war stories.
This particular war story concerns the Korean War, and the efforts to take control of Pork Chop Hill.
The film is peppered with a superb cast -- Gregory Peck, Harry Guardino, Rip Torn, George Peppard, Bob Steele (of B western fame), and the great Woody Strode.
It's one of the films that, once viewed, will always be remembered, by many for a single shot.
Olive's new Blu-ray is a good-looking release. Dupes are what the are, and there's a bit of minor dirt, but shadow detail, and black levels, which are important to this film, both seem in place.
Grain structure is fine for a dupe.
A nice Blu-ray from Olive of a quality film.
