In 1960s screenings of this picture on British television channels,there would sometimes be an extra, very short, sequence very near the end which showed a small group of 'North Korean' peasants approaching Brubaker as he hides in the ditch. They appear to be unarmed and just curious, possibly even trying to help. Realizing that they will be regarded as hostile by the 'rescap' aircraft circling overhead, he desperately tries to get them to go back to safety, but he's too late and to his horror they are shot up (off camera). This scene may have been carefully filmed so as to be excised from the picture if required without its absence being noticed, as is now the case: seeing ' 'Toko Ri' on t.v. today, you won't notice anything amis and the missing footage may have gone for good. Quite why the director filmed it in the first place is puzzling, since U.S. audiences wouldn't have wanted to see 'their side' shooting-up civilians: that was "unamerican" ( the earlier Korean War picture "One Minute To Zero" justified Robert Mitchum's ordering the shelling of a Korean civilian refugee column because it contained armed 'Commie' infiltrators).
