Plot
U.S. Navy Lieutenant Harry Brubaker is a Naval Reserve officer and Naval Aviator who was called back to active duty from his civilian profession as an attorney to fly fighter-bombers in the Korean War. Returning from a mission with battle damage, he is forced to ditch into the sea and is rescued by a Sikorsky HO3S-1 manned by Chief Petty Officer (NAP) Mike Forney and Airman (NAC) Nestor Gamidge.
Forney had often been in trouble for brawling and sporting a non-regulation green top hat and scarf while flying his helicopter as encouragement to downed pilots in the water. Back aboard his ship, the aircraft carrier USS Savo Island,[Note 2] Brubaker is called to the quarters of Rear Admiral Tarrant, the Carrier Task Force 77 commander, who has taken an interest in Brubaker because he reminds Tarrant of his son, a Navy Pilot killed in World War II. Brubaker complains about the unfairness of his recall when most actively flying/actively drilling Naval Reserve pilots weren't recalled (Brubaker hadn't been flying in the Reserve), America is not actually "at war", and most Americans have no involvement. Tarrant advises that, "All through history, men have had to fight the wrong war in the wrong place, but that's the one they're stuck with."

1954年のマーク・ロブソン監督作品「トコリの橋」。
ウィリアム・ホールデン、グレース・ケリー、フレドリック・マーチ、ミッキー・ルーニーらが出演。
日本人女優の淡路恵子も出ています。
朝鮮戦争下の話です。
朝鮮戦争停戦が1953年なので、停戦後すぐ公開された映画。
朝鮮戦争ということで日本も出てきます。
富士屋ホテルなど、実際に日本で撮影も行っています。
アメリカ目線の日本なので描写には、まあどうなのかってところもあります。
ホールデン演じる、ブルーベーカー、この映画では死んでしまいます。
朝鮮戦争で死ぬ役というと、同じくホールデン演じた「慕情」でのマーク思い浮かびます。
映画だと、ヒーローがみんなやっつけてという感じかもしれないが、現実はヒーローでも戦死してしまう。
現実を見せられる映画であると思う。
空母を実際に撮影に使っており、そのあたりは見ごたえあるか。
