The Steel Helmet

For Screen and Country

Back to the list this week with Samuel Fuller's racially diverse and controversial Korean War tale The Steel Helmet. Did this movie inspire an infamous Steven Spielberg character? How did the government and military react to this film openly discussing Japanese internment camps? Is this movie sensitive to other religions? The answer might surprise you! You won't believe the discussion in response to #3. Sorry, guys... Buzzfeed is a new sponsor and they pay well.

Next week: an oft-forgotten war.
