Notes from the Members of the Board:
Not many movies were set during the Korean War, and Retreat, Hell! was not only rare but excellent in its depiction. Sir Laurence Olivier was not honored at the Rags for Hamlet back in 1948; instead, we righted the wrong by awarding him a Rag for a much greater performance in Carrie.
