Арена боя (1953)

Battle Circus

Во время корейской войны молодая медсестра прибывает на фронт в небольшой полевой госпиталь. Рут страстно влюбляется в хирурга, майора Джеда. История их любви разворачивается прямо посреди военных действий, на линии фронта. Джед колеблется, но Рут с головой окунается в свои чувства, несмотря на все трудности военного времени. Атаки врагов, сложные погодные условия, многочисленные жертвы — кажется, не до романтики, но любовь живет вопреки всем трудностям и обстоятельствам.

Интересные факты

Battle Circus is a 1953 American war film directed by Richard Brooks, who also co-wrote the screenplay with married writing duo Laura Kerr and Allen Rivkin. The movie stars Humphrey Bogart and June Allyson, and costars Keenan Wynn and Robert Keith.

Production

According to Richard Brooks (in an interview filmed for the 1988 Bacall on Bogart documentary), Battle Circus was originally called MASH 66, a title rejected by MGM because the studio thought people would not understand the connection to a military hospital.

Brooks also noted that Humphrey Bogart agreed to do the film because the script's humor, set in a story showing the tragedy of war, would make the film seem more realistic to an audience. Bogart was teamed with an old pal, Keenan Wynn and June Allyson who was also a friend.

In retrospect, Bogart did not enjoy working on the film, the least of which was when he burned his left thumb, a scene that was left in the final production. His $250,000 fee was the sole compensation. Bogart told Brooks, a close friend, "let's not make any more movies together."

Principal photography took place on location in Calabasas, California, and Camp Pickett, Virginia, where MASH units trained. The aerial sequences with the Bell 47 helicopters were filmed there. The camp commandant offered the film crews use of the base facilities, including his house for the lead actors, after initial scenes were finished.

The film's sets were designed by the art director James Basevi.
