"The Hill" and "Johnny Got His Gun"

63.224.65.186

The Hill--Does anyone remember this rather obscure B&W flick from the 50s with Sean Connery? It was about the British army and punishment meted out for various infractions by the grunts. In-your-face psychological study and very definitely a different war flick. I recall at the end studio surveys were passed to exiting audiences. One of the questions: What did you think of the music soundtrack? I thought at the time it was a weird question; there wasn't any track.

Johnny Got His Gun--A devastating piece in color from Dalton Trumb's book. Trumbo was one of the writers blacklisted by the House Un-American Acitivities Committee during the height of the McCarthy witchhunts. "Johnny" takes place in WWI and its central character is a young man who has both arms and legs blown off and is kept alive as a medical experiment. Incredible piece of work you'll not forget.
