Target Zero (1955)


Warner Bros.
Directed by Harmon Jones
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Richard Conte leads a platoon through Korea. Along the way they pick up pretty Peggie Castle who works for the UN. She mostly helps nurse the wounded, and inevitably falls in love with Conte. Their battlefield romance is not very convincing. Neither is the final action sequence, which is marred by some shoddy special effects and filmed in Colorado, a poor substitute for the jungles of Korea. The supporting cast includes early roles for Charles Bronson and Chuck Connors.
