Reception

Lillian Blackstone of St. Petersburg Times called the film a "realistic chapter of Korean War".[6] Film critic Leonard Maltin termed it "passable".[7] In his review for DVD Talk, Paul Mavis called it "[Disposable] entertainment posing as something important".[8] In his review for The New York Times, critic Howard Thompson called Webb's direction "sensible" but noted that the film "[felt] short in general impact and conviction".[3] Robert J. Lentz wrote that it was a "routine war film with an agreeable premise". However, he praised Mature's performance.{{Sfn|Lentz|2006|p=28}}{{Sfn|Lentz|2006|p=29}} Richard Egan won the Golden Globe Award for Most Promising Newcomer – Male in 1953.[9] A DVD was released by 20th Century-Fox's Cinema Archives.[8]
