One Minute to Zero is a 1952 American romantic Korean War film directed by Tay Garnett and starring Robert Mitchum and Ann Blyth. It marked Howard Hughes' final film as a producer.

Production

The film's working title was The Korean Story. Ted Tetzlaff was the first director assigned by RKO Radio Pictures but was replaced by Tay Garnett because producer Edmund Grainger desired wanted a more recognizable name.

Claudette Colbert was cast in the lead female role but contracted pneumonia and withdrew. Grainger wanted Joan Crawford, but the role had been rewritten for a younger woman, which eventually became Ann Blyth.

Although RKO attempted to shoot second-unit footage in South Korea, One Minute to Zero was filmed at Fort Carson, Colorado, using troops of the 148th Field Artillery. During a break in production, Charles McGraw became involved in a fistfight with soldiers at a hotel bar and Mitchum attempted to stop it. In response, Army officials threatened to pull their support for the film, but producer and studio owner Howard Hughes intervened.

Victor Young's score for the film includes the first appearance of "When I Fall in Love" as an instrumental titled "Theme from One Minute to Zero". It later became a popular hit song for several singers, including Doris Day.
