Yep ... seen it -- and a good choice there, Isapop.

And yet -- actor Edwards wound up playing George C. Scott's dresser in PATTON.

Edwards played GIs quite often, including Pork Chop Hill.

And Sidney Poitier played a black NCO during the Korean War in All the Young Men (1960). The issue of race is there but I've never seen it.

Woody Strode (also in Pork Chop Hill) plays a black NCO in Sergeant Rutledge (also 1960) who is put on trial for rape.
