Tank Battalion (AKA Korean Attack) is a 1958 war film directed by Sherman A. Rose, starring Don Kelly, Leslie Parrish and Edward G.

Plot summary

During various battles behind enemy lines during the Korean war, four soldiers reminisce about their past romantic adventures. One of them is currently involved with an Army nurse. When their tank breaks down against a cliff, one of the men risks life and limb to sneak out and retrieve the new gear box needed to fix things. It is a dangerous, exciting journey, but will he succeed?

The score is largely based upon Debussy's Three Nocturnes for For Orchestra.
