Battle Hymn was inspired by the true story of American minister Dean Hess, played here with rare sensitivity by Rock Hudson. A bomber pilot during World War II, Hess inadvertently releases a bomb which destroys a German orphanage. Tortured by guilt, Hess relocates in Korea after the war to offer his services as a missionary. Combining the best elements of Christianity and Eastern spiritualism, Hess establishes a large home for orphans. The preacher's efforts are threatened when the Korean "police action" breaks out in 1950. Battle Hymn was one of several collaborations between Rock Hudson and director Douglas Sirk--though Sirk felt that Robert Stack would have been better suited to the role of Rev. Hess.

A tear jerking story of Col. Dean Hess wonderfully depicted by Rock Hudson , Anna Kashfi Dan Duryea, Don DeFore, and Martha Hyer. This man with a big heart for children did
all he could to save orphaned children during the Korean conflict. His experience in WWII had
been vastly different. A must see.
