I was not hooked

The intentions are quite sincere, generous, but I hardly got glued to this story, despite the good directing from a guy whose movies have never excited me that much. I mean George Seaton, who was at his top with 36 HOURS, offering a plot far more engrossing than this tedious one. I won't say any harm about this movie though, as I did with another George Seaton's film : COUNTERFEIT TRAITOR. So, it remains a film to watch, if only for Kirk Douglas. Only the finale part is quite the best of the film, but that's not a surprise to find the most exciting of a movie in the end. It could be seen as a pacifist film; at least a bit.

Trivia
There was a Camano Class light cargo ship U.S.S. Ryer (AG-138). It was originally delivered to the Army near the end of World War II, for coastal operations. The Ryer participated in the Korean War. Interestingly, the Ryer was sold in 1962 and the name was changed to the Ahti. The Ryer bears a very strong resemblance to the ship used in the making of this film. And may in fact be that ship, rented to make this film.

Errores
The plane that strafes the truck and later the ship is a B-25 Mitchell, an American medium bomber, not an enemy aircraft.

Pvt. O.A. Dennison: Nice day.
Sgt. P.J. Briscoe: Kid, any day a war ends is a nice day.

Créditos curiosos
[prologue] This is a story of men in war, not men at war. And the two are not the same. Hence, this film is dedicated not to any army, navy, air or other military force, but to those who are the lowest common denominator of all military forces...and the highest...the individual man. For in the brief and quiet intervals between the loud and terrible noises of war, he is capable of great and revealing moments of nobility. This story is about such a moment in the lives of three men and although it could have happened in any time or any war, we have chosen Korea...1953...
