TURNING THE TIDE (Aug. 1950)

UNITED NATIONS OFFENSIVE (Sep. 1950)

From September 20 to October 20, 1950 United Nations forces struck hard against the Communist army in Korea. Footage shows the recapture of Seoul, the fall of the North Korean capital city, Pyongyang, an airdrop by the 187th Regimental Airdrop team, and the U.S. Navy battleship Missouri in action.

CHINESE REDS ENTER THE KOREAN WAR (Oct. 1950)

In this THE BIG PICTURE we see American soldiers battling winter cold, as well as the Communist Chinese, in Korea.

U.N. FORCES ESCAPE THE CHINESE TRAP (Nov.-Dec. 1950)

KOREAN WIND-UP

The true reaction of the battle-torn GIs to the Korean truce has been well pictured by the cameras of THE BIG PICTURE. Many prisoners of war give their feelings about the truce and recall the war situation at the time they were captured. KOREAN WIND-UP is a capsule chronology of the Korean War.

THE REBIRTH OF SEOUL

In Korea, the aggressor’s challenge was met and turned back by the United Forces of the world’s free nations. Yet in the backwash of war there always remains a second challenge — the thousands of orphans, the millions of homeless, the countless villages and cities ravaged and almost completely destroyed.

A DAY IN KOREA

Comparison of the life of the individual in the states to the soldier on the front lines of Korea. Despite the truce talks, fighting is still going on and we still have a serious need for men and machines. The contrast between the civilian’s life and the life of the soldier should bring the picture closer.

THE ARMY COMBAT TEAM

THE BIG PICTURE shows you what happens in one day of war. Excerpting a communiqué from the daily newspaper we show the fighting that lies behind the brief report of such a communiqué. CIVIL ASSISTANCE, KOREA

We approach this from the beginning in Korea when we had to control the civilian population; rehabilitation for tactical reasons. This is a very human, moving story and again points out our respect and concern for the individual.
