Menn i krig
Vic Morrow has a supporting role in this intense war story adapted from Van Van Praag's Novel "Combat." (Morrow later starred in a long-running television series of the same name). It is a good, solid all-male cast with terrific performances by Robert Ryan and Aldo Ray in the two leading roles (Lieutenant Benson and Sergeant Montana). They have their own personal war going on, which adds another layer to the conflict, as they try to cope with the horror and devastation of the Korean War exploding around them. Ryan is attempting to get the remnants of his battered platoon back to battalion headquarters when he encounters Ray, who's sole concern is getting his shell-shocked colonel back to safety. Robert Keith is the colonel, with but one word of dialog, who convincingly portrays in mute projection a man shocked into disturbing dumbness. Ryan and Ray join forces, reluctantly, to fight their way back to headquarters only to find the battalion has been wiped out. The 'hill' has been taken by the Red Koreans. Re-taking that hill is a bloody, savage ordeal that leaves only Ryan, Ray and one other comrade still alive. They stand and honor their dead, amidst the carnage, in a touching fade-out.
The Wild One
Johnny er leder for en hensynsløs MC-gjeng som invaderer en liten, søvnig by i California. Gutten i skinnjakken er skapt for å ødelegge ting, helt til han faller pladask for Kathie, en hyggelig jente hvis far tilfeldigvis er politimann. Dessverre for Johnny saboteres ambisjonene hans av en psykotisk rival, Chino, og småbyfolkets fiendtlighet og fordommer.
The Asphalt Jungle
John Huston setter i gang et nøye planlagt ran utført med pinlig nøyaktighet. Men litt etter litt begynner uventede hendelser og de kriminelle rollefigurenes feil å ødelegge for et tilsynelatende perfekt brekk.
Mannen fra Colorado
A judge teeters on the brink of insanity... a town on the edge of revolt. And only one man stands between them in this powerful western featuring two of Hollywood's greatest leading men. Glenn Ford delivers a mesmerizing performance as Owen Devereaux, a sadistic Civil War vet who continues to kill for the joy of it even after he becomes a judge. William Holden is outstanding as Del Stewart, Devereaux's marshal and ex-army pal who tries to restrain the judge's violent nature. When Devereaux's psychotic behavior forces the townspeople to take up arms against him, the former friends are pitted together against each other in a brutal conflict with fatal consequences. The suspense never falters in acclaimed director Henry Levin's tightly woven tale which delves into the devastating psychological effects of war.
