'''''Inchon''''' (also called '''''Inchon!''''') is a 1981 [[Epic film|epic]] [[war film]] about the [[Battle of Inchon]], considered to be the turning point of the [[Korean War]]. The film was directed by [[Terence Young (director)|Terence Young]] and financed by [[Unification movement]] founder [[Sun Myung Moon]]. It stars [[Laurence Olivier]] as General [[Douglas MacArthur]], who led the [[United States]] surprise [[Amphibious warfare|amphibious landing]] at [[Incheon]], [[South Korea]] in 1950. Also featured are [[Jacqueline Bisset]], [[Ben Gazzara]], [[Toshirō Mifune|Toshiro Mifune]], and [[Richard Roundtree]]. It was filmed in [[South Korea]], [[California]], [[Italy]], [[Ireland]] and [[Japan]].<br />
<br />
''Inchon''{{'}}s plot includes both military action and human drama. Characters face danger and are involved in various personal and dramatic situations. The film concludes with the American victory over [[North Korea]]n forces in the Battle of Inchon, which is considered to have saved South Korea. The film cost $46 million to produce and encountered many problems during production, including a typhoon and the death of a cast member. Both the Unification movement and the United States military provided personnel as [[Extra (actor)|extras]] during the filming.<br />
<br />
After premiering in May 1981, the film was released theatrically in the United States and Canada in September 1982, before being quickly withdrawn due to critical and financial failure. It has never been released on home video, although it has occasionally been broadcast on television. It was the largest financial loss in film of 1982, earning less than $2 million against its lofty budget and resulting in losses of around $41 million. Reviewers at the time gave it consistently bad reviews and later commentators including ''[[Newsweek]]'', ''[[TV Guide]]'' and [[The Canadian Press|Canadian Press]] have classed ''Inchon'' among the [[List of films considered the worst#Inchon (1981)|worst films of all time]].<br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
The film depicts the [[Battle of Inchon]] during the [[Korean War]], which took place September 15–19, 1950, and is considered the turning point of the war. The protagonist of the film is General [[Douglas MacArthur]], who led the [[United States]] surprise [[Amphibious warfare|amphibious landing]] at [[Incheon]] in 1950. A subplot in the film involves an American couple who encounter difficulties in their relationship because of the ongoing war.<br />
<br />
''Inchon'' begins with [[North Korea]]n soldiers moving past the [[38th parallel north]] into [[South Korea]] in June 1950. People flee to the country's capital, [[Seoul]]. One of the displaced people is Barbara Hallsworth, a U.S. Army [[major]]'s wife who lives in a village on the 38th parallel. She is chauffeured to Seoul in a limousine, picking up five South Korean children along the way. After her chauffeur is killed, she drives them to a safe location called the Inn of the Sixth Happiness. Along the way, she shoots a North Korean soldier.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, her husband, Frank Hallsworth, is attempting to break off an affair with a young South Korean woman, Lim. Her father Saito is aware of his daughter's affair with Frank and does not disapprove. Frank receives word of the invasion by the North Koreans, and he travels north in an attempt to locate Barbara with the assistance of army sergeant August Henderson. August encounters Barbara and fixes her vehicle's battery, and then reunites her with Frank.<br />
<br />
Journalists David Feld, Park, and Longfellow are attending a [[press conference]] held by MacArthur in [[Tokyo]]. MacArthur, however, does not show. He agrees with his wife Jean, that he is the only person who can rescue South Korea from the invasion by the North Koreans.<br />
<br />
Hallsworth and his former lover succeed in turning on a [[lighthouse]] to signal 261 U.S. ships, and the South Korean woman's father activates mines in the channel. She dies during the ensuing battle. The U.S. troops drive out the North Korean forces and the cheering people wave South Korean and American flags. The film proper ends with MacArthur reciting the [[Lord's Prayer]]; after this scene, a [[newsreel]] of MacArthur is shown.<br />

===Financing===<br />
''Inchon'' was financed by Sun Myung Moon and Japanese newspaper publisher Mitsuharu Ishii.<ref name="vermilye" /><ref name="niemi">{{cite book | last =Niemi | first =Robert | title =History in the Media: Film and Television | url =https://archive.org/details/historymediafilm00niem | url-access =limited | publisher =[[ABC-CLIO]] | year =2006 | page =[https://archive.org/details/historymediafilm00niem/page/n174 151] | isbn = 978-1-57607-952-2}}</ref><ref name="TV Guide">{{cite news|url=https://www.tvguide.com/movies/inchon/review/102041/|title=Inchon - Movie Reviews and Movie Ratings|last=TV Guide staff|work=[[TV Guide]]|access-date=April 20, 2019}}</ref> Moon was involved with the film's production from the very beginning.<ref name="suid" /> Ishii, a member of the [[Unification movement]] in Japan and a friend of Moon, served as the film's producer; and Moon, although credited as "Special Advisor on Korean Matters", contributed $30 million to Ishii's film production company One Way Productions.<ref name="suid" /><ref name="kelleher">{{cite news | last =Kelleher | first =Terry | title ='Inchon reflects only the cult of bad moviemaking | work =[[The Miami Herald]] | page =5C | date =September 20, 1982 }}</ref><ref name="allen" /> Moon initially did not want the public to know that he was behind the financing of the film and its production;<ref name="niemi" /> however, upon the film's U.S. release, Moon was identified in newspaper ads as the film's "special advisor".<ref>{{cite news |title=Advertisement for ''Inchon'' |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=September 17, 1982 |page=C7}}</ref> Ishii said he was instructed by God to make the film.<ref name="kelleher" /> Additional funding was provided by Robert Standard, the associate producer and a member of the [[Unification Church of the United States]].<ref name="suid" /><ref>{{cite magazine|first=Stephen|last=Vagg|magazine=Filmink|url=https://www.filmink.com.au/ten-billionaires-stung-hollywood/|title=Ten Billionaires Who Were Stung by Hollywood|date=March 10, 2020}}</ref><br />
<br />
Ishii said he was a member of the Unification movement "just like a Catholic is a member of the Catholic Church and I believe Rev. Moon is very sincere about doing the Lord's work". Ishii was president of the ''World Daily News'', which is published by Moon's media conglomerate [[News World Communications]] which also published other newspapers, including ''[[The Washington Times]]'' in the United States.<br />
<br />
Before deciding on making a war film, Moon and Ishii considered making [[biopic]]s of [[Jesus]] or [[Elvis Presley]].<ref name="niemi" /><ref name="TV Guide" /> In 1978, [[psychic]] [[Jeanne Dixon]] was consulted to communicate with the spirit of General MacArthur, and Dixon said that MacArthur's spirit endorsed the production of the film.<ref name="suid" /><ref name="niemi" /><ref name="TV Guide" /> Dixon also helped choose [[Terence Young (director)|Terence Young]], known for the [[James Bond]] films ''[[Dr. No (film)|Dr. No]]'', ''[[Thunderball (film)|Thunderball]]'', and ''[[From Russia with Love (film)|From Russia with Love]]'', to direct the film.<ref name="niemi" /><ref name="TV Guide" /><br />
<br />
''Inchon'' cost $46 million to produce.<ref name="boxofficemojo" /><ref name="inchontops" /><ref name="rickey">{{cite news | last =Rickey | first =Carrie (Knight-Ridder Tribune News Service) | title =$44.1 million loss earns 'Inchon' dubious honor | work =[[Austin American-Statesman]] | page =G3 | date =December 28, 1989 }}</ref> Attempts to solicit funding from Japanese banks fell through, and so the entire project was funded by Moon and the Unification Church.<ref name="coleman" /><br />
<br />
In his book ''Encyclopedic Handbook of Cults in America'', author and scholar of religion [[J. Gordon Melton]] noted that "Moon has attempted to project his ideas into all areas of American society" and cited ''Inchon'' as an example.<ref>{{cite book | last =Melton | first = J. Gordon | author-link = J. Gordon Melton | title =Encyclopedic Handbook of Cults in America | publisher =Routledge | year =1992 | page =298 | isbn = 0-8153-1140-0}}</ref> Moon later said in a talk to movement members: "Why did we put so much effort into the movie ''Inchon''? No matter what the result the motivation was for people to understand about MacArthur. I wanted to show how MacArthur loved God and loved people. MacArthur came to Japan after World War II and put the nation back together. He really respected and loved the people. He also loved God very much and fought with great strength against tyranny and communism. That is what I want the people to understand."<ref>[http://www.unification.net/gwo/820828.html Ocean Church and America] Sun Myung Moon, 1982</ref><br />
<br />
===Writing===<br />
Ishii was inspired to write a film with an international cast after watching a South Korean dramatization of the war. He wanted the film to be an "entertaining action film", but also said he was "very interested in depicting MacArthur as a human being and I want the world to know how miserable the war was for the Korean people."<ref name="suid" /><br />
<br />
Moore commented on the writing process: "The theme I had to deal with in ''Inchon'' was too big for a movie that was less than two hours. When Toho was originally involved, they wanted a love story between an American boy and a Korean girl. My technique is to research and then fictionalize, a technique I used successfully in ''[[The French Connection (book)|French Connection]]''. But I had to fictionalize the real landing at Inchon, making it seem that a lighthouse was a pivotal factor when in fact it wasn't. I couldn't do that, which is why other writers were brought in."<ref name="mccabe">{{cite news | last =McCabe | first =Bruce | title =Movies Bruce McCabe - Moon and Inchon | work =[[Boston Globe]] | publisher =Globe Newspaper Company | date =September 17, 1982 }}</ref><br />
<br />
Ishii instructed Moore to include an emphasis on General MacArthur's spiritualism and faith in divine guidance. He told Moore to include three separate love stories in the film, "one between two Americans, one between two Koreans, and one between an American and a Korean". Moore explained that "the love stories were supposed to tell the story of the tragedy of Korea, the tragedy of the Korean War". Ishii stated to Moore that he did not wish for the movie to turn into an "anti-Communist tract". Prior to the completion of the film's [[screenplay]], the film's producers encountered difficulties obtaining an affiliation with a movie studio. Ishii said that [[North Korea]] placed pressure on [[Toho Studios]] through [[labor union]]s in [[Japan]], requesting that the studio pulled out of its affiliation with ''Inchon''. The labor unions criticized the film's production, saying that it was influenced by Moon and his Unification movement, in addition to the [[Korean CIA]] and was part of an effort to support the president of [[South Korea]]. Because of this criticism, Toho Studios canceled its participation in the ''Inchon'' project.<ref name="suid" /><br />
<br />
===Casting===<br />
[[Laurence Olivier]] was paid $1 million to play General [[Douglas MacArthur]] in the film.<ref name="niemi" /> He was contracted for six weeks of filming, and received a payment of $250,000 upon signing the contract and the remainder was given in four subsequent installments.<ref name="coleman" /> His salary came out to $50,000 per day.<ref name="mccabe" /> In addition to this fee, Olivier also received $2,500 per week for his expenses.<ref name="coleman" /> Olivier was interviewed during the film's production and explained why he agreed to be part of its cast: "People ask me why I'm playing in this picture. The answer is simple. Money, dear boy. I'm like a vintage wine. You have to drink me quickly before I turn sour. I'm almost used up now and I can feel the end coming. That's why I'm taking money now. I've got nothing to leave my family but the money I can make from films. Nothing is beneath me if it pays well. I've earned the right to damn well grab whatever I can in the time I've got left."<ref name="vermilye">{{cite book | last =Vermilye | first =Jerry | title =The Complete Films Of Laurence Olivier | publisher =Citadel Press | year =1992 | pages =214–216 | isbn = 0-8065-1302-0}}</ref><br />
<br />
Olivier researched the role by traveling to [[Norfolk, Virginia]] to visit the MacArthur Museum, and speaking with [[Alexander Haig]], who had served as ''[[aide-de-camp]]'' to MacArthur.<ref name="coleman" /> Haig told Olivier that MacArthur's voice sounded like [[W. C. Fields]], and Olivier tried to imitate this.<ref name="TV Guide" /> He enjoyed working with accents and obtained recordings of MacArthur's voice. He was interested in various inconsistencies in these recordings, and especially in the difference in vowel sounds made by MacArthur.<ref name="vermilye" /> During filming, the makeup process for Olivier took two and a half hours, but after it was complete, he thought he neither looked like himself nor like General MacArthur.<ref name="coleman" /><br />
<br />
The 72-year-old Olivier, who had been in poor health for years, suffered during filming in [[Seoul]] because of the summer heat. Director Terence Young recalled that between takes Olivier lay on a cot, virtually immobile with pain and exhaustion, but that when needed "he dropped fifty years and stepped forward without complaint".<ref>''Laurence Olivier: A Biography'', Donald Spoto, Cooper Square Press, 2001, p.393.</ref><br />
<br />
[[Richard Roundtree]], known for the title role in the film ''[[Shaft (1971 film)|Shaft]]'', portrayed the character of Staff Sgt. Henderson in the film.<ref name="allen" /> [[David Janssen]], known for his role in television series ''[[The Fugitive (1963 TV series)|The Fugitive]]'', accepted a part as a journalist to work with Laurence Olivier.<ref>{{cite news | url = http://www.davidjanssen.net/chron17.htm | title = The David Jansen Archives | access-date = 2010-03-16}}</ref> Actress Karen Kahn portrayed the young Korean lover of Major Frank Hallsworth in the film. In a subsequent interview with ''[[The Press Democrat]]'', Kahn said of the film: "It was supposed to be this ''[[Gone with the Wind (film)|Gone with the Wind]]''. And it was the worst movie. It's in some of those worst-films-of-all-time books. After that movie I quit. I just couldn't take L.A. I was really thin-skinned. So I just got out."<ref name="garcia">{{cite news | last =Garcia | first = Chris | title =Windsor mom gets break in 'Village' | work =[[The Press Democrat]] | page =Q5 | date =October 30, 1994 }}</ref><br />
<br />
===Music===<br />
[[Jerry Goldsmith]] wrote the score for the film.<ref name="ryanonmovies">{{cite news | last =Ryan | first =Desmond | title =On movies - For the moviemakers, it was a billion-dollar summer | work =[[The Philadelphia Inquirer]] | page =I03 | date =September 19, 1982}}</ref> The music was recorded at Rome's Forum Studio in July 1980 and was fraught with difficulties — the studio was not large enough for his orchestra, and room noise made by the players and their equipment affected the tracks.<ref>Joe Sikoryak, pgs. 3-4, liner notes, ''Inchon'' Intrada Special Collection No. 35.</ref><br />
<br />
In spite of the problems, Goldsmith was pleased with his score, describing it as a chance to "create interesting music out of a bad situation". The original 1982 soundtrack LP comprised 38 minutes of music, edited and assembled by Goldsmith and engineer Leonard Engel into an ideal listening experience rather than a chronological one. The album was issued on Regency Records; [[Intrada Records]] prepared a remixed edition of the complete score in 1988. In 2006 Intrada revisited the score and issued a two-disc set, with the original LP making its compact disc debut on disc 1 and the entire score presented in film order on disc 2.<ref>Douglass Fake, ps. 5-7, liner notes, ''Inchon'' Intrada Special Collection No. 35.</ref><br />

===Filming===<br />
Shooting took place in [[Hollywood, Los Angeles|Hollywood]], [[Rome]], [[Ireland]], [[Tokyo]] and [[Seoul]]. The involvement of Moon was "adamantly denied". Moon recommended editing and reshooting changes to the film's script, which "caused the production to return to South Korea three times, Rome twice and Los Angeles twice."<ref name="suid" /><ref name="vermilye" /><ref name="canby">{{cite news | last =Canby | first =Vincent | title ='Inchon,' at last | work =[[The New York Times]] |page=C9 | date =September 17, 1982 | url =https://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9A03E0D8123BF934A2575AC0A964948260 | access-date = 2009-10-21 }}</ref><br />
<br />
The film included several technical errors. Cut-out cardboard pieces were used to depict military aircraft during battle scenes in the film, and one film critic said viewers were almost able to identify the threads attached to the cardboard cut-outs. Footage of a digital watch was spliced into the film, though this technology would not be invented for twenty-five years after the film's time period.<ref name="suid" /> There were other problems. Jacqueline Bisset developed [[laryngitis]] during the film's production.<ref name="TV Guide" /> A set-piece for the film included a re-created version of a [[lighthouse]] at Incheon, but this was obliterated by a [[typhoon]].<ref name="schlueter" /> The death of [[David Janssen]] during production called for extensive reshoots.<ref name="ryan">{{cite news | last =Ryan | first =Desmond | title =On movies: Bond is booming, but 'Inchon' may be a very costly bomb | work =[[The Philadelphia Inquirer]] | page =L03 | date =June 6, 1982 }}</ref><br />

In August 1982, [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer]] contracted the distribution rights to the film.<ref name="pond" /> One Way Productions came to an agreement with MGM that it would take care of the costs associated with advertising and distributing the film if MGM agreed to distribute ''Inchon'' for a profit share of only 15 percent.<ref name="ryanreview" /> The normal fee for the film distributor was thirty percent of profits.<ref name="ryanreview" /> The film, cut to 105 minutes, was released in the United States on the weekend of September 17, 1982.<ref name="kelleher" /> It was swiftly pulled from theater distribution because of its poor performance at the box office, and was never shown in the [[United Kingdom]].<ref name="king">{{cite news|last=King|first=Susan|title=Film flops: Even Hollywood greats trip up - Murphy's 'Nash' may earn him a spot in the hall of shame|work=[[Milwaukee Journal Sentinel]]|page=06|date=August 20, 2002}}</ref><ref name="coleman" /><br />

The screenplay generally treats all others as one-dimensional buffoons, giving them lines that are unintentionally laughable. One reason is that all plot digressions are simply window dressing to the film's focus on the brutally invading North Koreans and the big-scale counterattack by the good guys. No speaking roles are given to the Communists, for example."<ref>{{cite news | last =Variety staff | title =Inchon Review | work =[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] | publisher =www.variety.com | url =https://www.variety.com/review/VE1117791922.html?categoryid=31&cs=1&query=inchon | access-date = 2009-10-31 | date=January 1, 1981}}</ref><br />

===Later commentary===<br />
Multiple commentators have described ''Inchon'' as the worst film ever made, including ''The Washington Post'',<ref>{{cite news | last =Mayo | first =Mike | title =Hollywood's untaped resources - worthwhile movies don't always make it to video | newspaper =[[The Washington Post]] | date =April 13, 1997 |page=G7}}</ref> ''[[Newsweek]]'',<ref>{{cite news | last =Boedeker | first =Hal | title =The Magic of Olivier his film legacy sets standard for all actors | work =[[The Miami Herald]] | page =36G | date =July 21, 1989 |quote=The worst of his choices was probably taking on the role of Gen.
