Product Description

For some soldiers, the fighting never stops even when the battle is over. OscarÂ(r) winner*Robert Redford makes a memorable big-screen debut in this "subtle, poignant, carefully engraved film" (The New Yorker) about the darker side of war. During the final bloody weeks of the Korean War, idealistic Private Loomis (Redford) is sent to the front lines as a replacement in a battle-weary platoon. But when he learns that a reclusive fellow soldier named Endore has been sneaking behind enemy lines to kill under the cover of darkness, Loomis fears that Endore isn't just a fearless warrior but an unpredictable, sinister predator who could prove more dangerous than the enemy! *1980: Director, Ordinary People; 2001: Honorary Award

Men At War

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2011

Verified Purchase

"War Hunt" holds up remarkably well. While the release date is listed as 1962, the copyright is 1961, which makes this a 50th anniversary of Redford's first film. The gritty story shot in Topanga Canyon in the Los Angeles area stars John Saxon as Private Raymond Endore, a psychotic soldier transfixed on killing who is allowed personal scouting raids into enemy territory. The film is also significant because it begins a great friendship and working collaboration between Robert Redford and Sydney Pollack who plays Sgt. Owen Van Horn that produced other works like This Property Is Condemned and Three Days of the Condor as well as the classic "The Way We Were." In his book Robert Redford: The Biography , Michael Feeney Callan tells us that Redford made $500 for his three weeks on the film. United Artists' entire budget for the film was $250,000. The New York Times called the film, "One of the most honest and haunting war movies in years." Tom Skerritt has a strong supporting performance as Sgt. Stan Showalter; and Gavin McLeod who later achieved fame on TV's "The Love Boat" played Pvt. Crott. Francis Ford Coppola plays an Army truck driver and was a gofer on the film. Redford's performance is impressive, subtle, gritty and focused. This little black & white film certainly bears watching as a piece of film history, but remains affecting as a tight psychological portrait of men at war. Enjoy!

Haunting film of the last weeks of the Korean War

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2010

Verified Purchase

...As stated elsewhere, Saxon is the real star of this film... Redford does a good job with his character... well meaning, but absolutely unable to make changes, let alone conjure up any heroic actions... Witnessing and surviving are the best that he can do... We are meant to see this story unfold through the eyes of a decent, "All American boy..." drafted and sent to the sharp end...

...Definitely low budget: The Army would not touch this production with a ten foot pole... But the film has a story to tell and does it well. It is unfortunate that Gavin McCleod is a distraction... but he was absolutely unknown when this film was made and his presence was not jarring... On the other hand, the character of the visiting battalion commander is *vastly* too old...

...Real talent used on this film... Even Francis Ford Coppola (uncredited) who was said to be one of the camera men... who also doubled as an extra driving one of the Army trucks...

...As someone who has led and commanded infantry in two wars I can understand the *temptation* of the company commander (though I do not agree with his decision) to play with fire... to use Saxon's character, in spite of the clear dangers... Aside from the natural tendency not to want to get your men killed in extremely dangerous night patrols (and most of them unwilling draftees likely, if they survive... to bring back little information.) Saxon's character is an extremely dangerous weapon... that needs always to be pointed in the right direction...

...I have heard complaints that Saxon's character would never have made it through basic training... let alone having been deployed. True enough, except that sometimes people just "get along" during training and keep a low profile. Once "unzipped" on the steep Korean ridgelines... his real inclinations would spill out... and would grow... to where you could never "get them back into the bag" again...

...The ending of this film is deeply haunting.

Y.P.

The story of a badly damaged man, who found his real place in the world - in the "no man's land", between two hostile armies

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 5, 2014

Verified Purchase

I liked A LOT this little known 1962 black and white war movie. It is an independent production made on a little budget with actors who were then completely unknown, but it packs TERRIFIC punch. Below, more of my impressions, with some limited SPOILERS.

Near the end of the Korean War a new replacement, Private Loomis (Robert Redford), is assigned to an infantry company in the front line. He soon meets a quiet fellow soldier, Private Endore (John Saxon) and is quickly warned by others in the company not to speak to him. It appears that Endore is a very peculiar and quite scary fellow, who has a gift to infiltrate enemy lines to observe and gather information - but he also hunts and kills isolated enemy soldiers... Company commander Captain Pratt (Charles Aidman) lets Endore go on those "hunting" raids because he appreciates the intelligence he brings back. But ultimately this situation must bring trouble...

The making of this film was in itself a kind of adventure in cinematographic guerrilla, as it was in large part a huge improvisation by a bunch of pals. Brothers Denis and Terry Sanders managed to gather 250 thousand dollars to produce an independent war film - the former also directed - and it turned out quickly that it wasn't enough. In order to dissimulate this lack of means, they put most of the action of the film at night. As their wages were lower, actors who usually appeared on TV were hired like John Saxon, Charles Aidman, Gavin MacLeod (Private Crotty), William Challee (the battalion commander) and especially young and at that time almost completely unknown Robert Redford, for whom it was the first credited cinema role ever.

Another young TV actor, a certain Sydney Pollack, also got a part - he plays Sergeant Van Horn. It was during the work on "War Hunt" that he met and befriended Robert Redford - and the rest is part of history of cinema ("Jeremiah Johnson", "Three days of Condor", "Out of Africa")... The role of Sergeant Showalter went to a complete beginner, for whom it was the first role ever in anything, a guy named Tom Skerritt... Some friends of the producers also gave a hand for free, like a certain Francis Ford Coppola, who at that time was a struggling assistant director to Roger Corman - in this film he plays an (uncredited) role of a truck driver.

Pentagon was asked to provide some assistance in making of this film, this was however gently but firmly refused, as US Army public relations department was incensed by the scenario. Their objections concerned mostly the very idea that a company commander (an officer with at least eight years of experience) could allow one of his soldiers to wage a kind of "private war" and also dispense this man from observing any regular military discipline and regulations - and honestly, I can understand that.

I still think however that it is a pity that US Army didn't help with this film, because even if it tells a pretty powerful story, it is actually surprisingly moderate in its general tone concerning all things military. If we except the captain who plays a dangerous game with a clearly unstable soldier, all the rest of military institution actually works logically and rather efficiently. As this is clear now that war will end very soon, high ranking officers and professional NCOs try very hard to prevent any further needless casualties. When battle is joined, all differences and grudges are momentarily forgotten and everybody stands shoulder to shoulder, against the common enemy. Officers really care about the welfare of their soldiers. The battalion commander is a clever, grizzled old war horse, who instantly understands that Endore is a huge problem the moment he sets his eyes on him. The captain, a rather likeable guy by the way, certainly messes up the situation, but even him, once things turn badly, will own up to his errors and will try to correct them - at no small risk for his own life... At no moment it is suggested that army or war made Endore into a killer - in fact quite to the contrary, we quickly realise that this guy arrived on the front already irremediably damaged, before even his first killing. Etc. etc.

There are of course some plot holes. The biggest one is the fact that Endore could "hunt" for many months in the same sector of the front. The Chinese soldiers in Korean War were dangerous, ruthless and resourceful opponents - they would never allow such a situation to last for months. Even in the worse, laziest army of the world engaged in such a static long term war, when one sentry manning an advanced post is killed at night, the vigilance is doubled. If two such incidents occur, few men will sleep at night after that - most of them will be waiting for enemy infiltrators, with their weapons ready to shoot (they can later sleep by shifts after sun rises). If three such killings happen, any commanding officer worth his salt will do EVERYTHING in his power to prevent more such casualties. It means that further infiltrations will be met by new minefields, better and more numerous booby traps, more frequent illumination, ambushes, snipers, aggressive counter-patrolling, pre-sighted machine gun, mortar or even artillery fire at the slightest alert, quite possibly retaliatory counter-raiding and certainly all other possible counter-measures I didn't think off. When the enemy is forewarned, ready, armed and on full alert, no matter how good the infiltrators are, they will be detected and vigorously countered (even the Predator, with all its alien camouflage technology and superhuman skills, got clipped in an ambush after his second killing). BUT, this film is so good, that even this ENORMOUS plot hole doesn't affect in any way my five star rating.

This is a REALLY GOOD war film and a REALLY GOOD war time story. I will certainly keep my DVD for another viewing in the future. ENJOY!

This is Robert Redford's first movie, it's in black and white and is worth watching because it is very good. It's about a young man in the Korean war and how it affects him. It is a 'must' for Robert Redford' fans, especially as you can see the links that he formed with the other actors and directors over his film career so far, based on this movie. Thank you.

Far from usual war film

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 19, 2012

Verified Purchase

I saw this film years ago, and it has stuck in my mind with crystal clarity ever since. Filmed in the kind of washed-out black and white that one associates with other contemporaneous films such as "Seconds" and "Failsafe", and with exterior scenes almost exclusively shot at night, it is one of the most unusual films ever to have been released. As with so many other films that I treasure, it is almost unknown, for reasons that I can never comprehend - though it makes for a very uncomfortable viewing experience, which probably explains it.
The plot is quite simple. PFC Loomis (Robert Redford) is assigned to a front-line infantry company at the latter end of the Korean war. Amongst his comrades is one PFC Endore (played by John Saxon who, like Anthony Perkins and Akim Tamiroff, specialised in playing nervy oddballs), a real loner who shuns normal company and has a penchant for going out on solitary night interdiction patrols, dressed all in black like a cat burglar and armed only with a knife. Loomis watches Endore during one of his lone venturings across the lines into North Korean territory, and sees him do one of the spookiest things you'll ever see on film - Endore kills a North Korean soldier, then runs rings around the dead body, a private ritual that has meaning only for Endore but which made me come out in goose bumps.
Loomis initially tries to befriend the lone, and possibly lonely, Endore, but gives up when he realises that Endore wants nothing to do with him (or anyone else). The situation is complicated by the fact that Endore has unofficially adopted a young Korean orphan. Loomis, concerned for the boy's future in the hands of the probably deranged Endore, tries to intercede on his behalf. He talks to Endore about what should become of the boy, and thinks that he has persuaded Endore to give the boy up to the authorities. With a smug, self-satisfied smile he moves away. Then, in a moment that made me jump out of my skin, Endore leaps across the room, thrusting Loomis against a bunkbed and saying "Butt out... Butt out or I'll kill you". Throughout, Endore has avoided all eye-contact with Loomis and does so even as he is threatening him with death, which he clearly means to inflict if Loomis indeed doesn't Butt Out. The effect was eerie beyond belief and makes my skin creep even now, thinking about it.
At the end of the film, Loomis makes one last attempt to reason with Endore, asking him what he's going to do now that the war is about to end.
"There'll be another," cries Endore, with horrible prescience and again with no eye contact, peering as always only into the depths of his own dark soul.

This is a film which will haunt you to your grave. If you can stand that idea, then watch it, for it's one of the great neglected films of all time. If you only want to be thrilled or made to laugh, avoid it like the plague.

There are other reviews that really rate this film. They might be right, so I will leave it for you to make up your own minds on this one. I just found it dated, and unconvincing, and felt myself waiting for it to end. Notable for a convincing debut from Redford, but otherwise unremarkable, at least to me.
