Some of the national journals recently have taken notice of a Hollywood quickje film called "The Steel Helmet". Its's an ultra-low budget movie produced by an outfit called Lippert, and is being hailed as the first movie picture with a Korean war locale. A rash of others are on the \vay? and they'll probably prove to be superior entertainment simply because more time -and money have bfeen lavished on their production. But "The Steel Helmet" should be of special interest to Nisei because it .is a movie � with a racial brotherhood message-. � .
\\e were priveleged to see a preview of "The Steel Helmet" recently. Some of it is harrow-i'ngly realistic, Some of the combat scenes are'/all too obviously cowboys and Indians stuff sot on a Korean hillside. But let's tell you the story. :
TJiere's a hardbitten old army sergeant who is the only Jiian of his patrol to escape a North Korean ambush. He is befriended by a young South Korean lad who speaks good" English because. He Was mascot of a group of GIs during tho 'American occupation. They are trying -;to ;work iheir way back to American lines when they run across a Negro medical cbrpsman. The three then meet.' another American patrol on a
mission to set up an observation post.
This patrol is le<J by an inexperienced and frightened lieutenant. The best man in the patrol is a Nisei who turns out to have picked up his combat know-hoM' with the 442nd in Eourope. The patrol runs into another North Korean ambush which is cleaned out by the Nisei and the old sergeant, Working together as a team, in a grim, vivid, frightened sequence. -
-' � ^ � .' . . '"."'.'� � .
After they set up the observation post in an abandoned temple, the patrol captures a North Korean major who happens to be American-educated and a bitter Communist. The Commie taunts the Negro about Jim Growisni in America', about how he has to ride in the: back of .a bus. The Negrox replies that a hundred years ago he Qpuldn't: even ride a bus, that maybe in fifty years maybe he'll, have the right to ride up in. front. He's Willing to wait for democracy's slow progress.
Then the Commie goes to wprk /needling the Nisei. Look at your eyes, he says. They slant just like mine. And the whites hate people with slant eyes. AVhy do you consider yourself an Amie-ricari? Didn't they. put you in concentration camps in the last
war? Didn't, they keep your peo-pie behind barbed wire while you were off/getting killed in Eu-

The Nisei admits that some of the Commie's charges are very, true. Then he makes the telling-, pointV Despite democracy's shortcomings Communism has nothing to offer. American minorities. �; The film .winds up;in a te^ri-fic burst of gunfire and smoke in which; the patrbl holds off an all; but bvenvhelming enemy attack. The Nisei,.the Ne'gro and :the old sergeant are the, only ones to survive. In between the fightihg the pjcture manages to get i n a : good strong piug for religious as well as racial tole-: ranee for all manner of human weaknesses. There's even a/comedy sequence on h\iman vanity; the Nisei trying to grow:hair on a comrade's bald head by.rubbing dirt into his scalp. That's. h6\v I grew hair on. niy mother's bald head, i the Nisei ex'plains.
To this Nisei observer at least, the pro-toierence propaganda which runs strongly through the film rarely becomes too obstru-"sive. Despite- the melodramatic i battle scenes, :I kept saying to-! myself: "How true, how true to 'life/'--' ;.! �'.'�-' :, ,'� "'_ '";/ �' .'�_". "'� (From Pacific CifTzen)
