Inchon Summary
MPAA Rating: PG
Director: Terence Young
Genres: Drama, Historical Film, War
Rating:
This infamous Korean War drama is best known as the movie produced by Rev. Sung Myung Moon's Unification Church, though more people seem to have read stories about its troubled production or disastrous reception at the box office than to have actually seen it: on its initial release, it grossed less than 2 million on a budget of 50 million. Starring Laurence_Olivier as Gen. Douglas MacArthur (psychics reportedly told producers that the late General was happy with the casting choice), Inchon also features Ben_Gazzara and Jacqueline_Bisset as a married couple whose relationship is tested by the trials of war, and boasts as impressive as supporting cast as money can buy, including David_Janssen, Richard_Roundtree, Omar_Sharif, Toshiro_Mifune, and Rex_Reed (who was perhaps hoping for a role that could stand beside his work in Myra_Breckenridge).The lavish battle scenes are staged by director Terence_Young (best known for his work on several early James Bond films), and the film presents one of your only opportunities to see Olivier, the greatest actor of his generation, talk like W.C. Fields while smoking a corn-cob pipe. Mark Deming, Rovi
