Fixed Bayonets!


Fixed Bayonets 1951 is a war film written and directed by Samuel Fuller and produced by Twentieth CenturyFox during the Korean War. It is Fullers second film about the Korean War. In his motion picture debut, James Dean appears briefly at the conclusion of the film. In 1972, it was the last program to air on WHDHTV before it went off the air forever and WCVBTV launched.

Fixed Bayonets was the first film of a seven picture deal between Twentieth CenturyFox and writerdirector Fuller. Fox had been impressed with Fullers The Steel Helmet and sought to better the imitations of that film on the contemporary subject of the Korean War.Having had problems with Fullers The Steel Helmet, The U.S. Army assigned Medal of Honor recipient Raymond Harvey as the films technical advisor. Samuel Fuller, himself a decorated World War II veteran, forged a lasting bond with Harvey, who again served as technical adviser in the 1958 film Verboten. Fixed Bayonets also included the first appearance, albeit uncredited, of James Dean in a feature film. ........
