Description:

It’s been a while!  Today we’re back on track talking about the 1951 film The Steel Helmet, the story of an American army in disarray during the early years of the Korean War eventually finding its fighting spirit thanks to a grizzled “retread” from the Second World War.   This film turns out to be a pretty good Cold War film – not only does it push the need for a stronger military, it goes into some “red scare” territory as well as covering some domestic social issues.

I’m planning on getting back with our regular schedule of about 2-3 episodes a month.  Thanks for your patience with me while I’ve been out – everything has been fine, just very busy.
