Captured (1959)

Directed by cult British director John Krish, the film was sponsored by the Army Kinematograph Corporation. This tightly plotted drama shows British POWs enduring brainwashing and torture during the Korean War, thereby revealing what a soldier could expect if he was ever captured by enemy forces.

Apr 9, 1951 #KoreanWar NYT They display major extraneous elements reminiscent of Soviet warfare both against Hitler during WWII and in the earlier Russian civil war conflict. There were many reports in the early stages of the war that Russian advisers accompanied North Korean troops and directed their movements even down to the regimental levels-none of which has yet been corroborated.

Apr 8, 1951 #KoreanWar NYT Rumors of disciplinary action against General of the Army Douglas MacArthur for publicly disputing current Administration policies abroad ranged from the relatively mild possibility that the United Nations commander would get a sharp verbal rebuke from President Truman to the more drastic possibility that he would be relieved of his command.

Mar 31, 1951 #KoreanWar NYT As advances were made by late afternoon along this front and a patrol pushed closer to the former border between North and South Korea, it became likely that a crossing soon was possible. Never since the beginning of this war has there been a greater number of nationalities in the allied front lines. In the United Nations representation, units from Belgium, France, the Republic of Korea, Britain, the Philippines, Turkey, Thailand and Canada now face the enemy.
