Bleak, dark psychological drama set during the tail end of the Korean War. The film won an “out of competition” award at Cannes in May of 1961 but was held from US release for almost three years because of its controversial and what was claimed by some to be anti-American content. It was finally released in the US after Audie Murphy filmed a prologue explaining that the film told the story of one soldier and one platoon. Murphy grew up near Dallas and The Texas Theatre screened War Is Hell. On November 22, 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald walked into the screening a few minutes after the film started and was “removed” by The Dallas Police Department a few minutes later. United Artists released the second James Bond film, From Russia with Love, with War Is Hell as the second feature of a double bill in the US on May 27, 1964.Read More »

Unpublished Story is an extremely well executed British World War II propaganda piece, and what sets it apart from other entries in this subgenre is its clever plot centered around that very topic. The film’s pace is unstoppable; the script by Patrick Kirwan and Lesley Storm based on a story by Anthony Havelock-Allan is intelligent, well-written, and unique in its approach to the subject matter; and the acting is of the usual high caliber that devotees of even the lowest-budgeted British quickies have come to expect in which the smallest roles are perfectly cast.Read More »
