The Bridges at Toko-Ri (1954)

William Holden is a Naval Reserve officer who has been called back into duty during the Korean War. After one mission where he was forced to ditch into the sea, he is called again to take on an even more dangerous mission attacking a group of Korean bridges. Grace Kelly is underutilized as his worried and disapproving wife. It’s a pretty average war film with not surprisingly, only a sparingly amount of Kelly. It also features an ever-hammy Mickey Rooney as a naval aviator who often crosses Holden’s path.   War
