Johnny Brock leads a multinational patrol into enemy territory with the aid of his estranged spouse, a Eurasian nicknamed Lucky Legs, who knows the location of the arms. Years earlier, she had bore a child with Chinese features -- which infuriated Brock. Now Brock and Legs try to bury their marital hatchets and pick up where they left off. They continue their journey to the hidden weapons with renewed feelings of hope. During a pause in the march, however, Legs makes a fateful decision. It's an action that may forever change the course of their love... and the destiny of the freedom-hungry troops. [More]

Reviews for China Gate
Though not one of Samuel Fuller's best films, it's still worth seeing as an early Hollywood drama-actioner about Indo-China and for Angie Dickinson, who became a star a year later.
Both the overloaded heroic war drama and the heavy-handed romance narrative have an air of incredulousness and phoniness.
