...Hunt is about a war lover, a man for whom war is not hell but home. It is set in the bleak, blasted terrain of Korea a few months prior to the cease-fire at Panmunjom. Private Endore (John Saxon) is a broody loner. Each night he smudges up his face and like a blackface minstrel of death steals out behind the Chinese lines on a one-man patrol. With snakelike grace, he slithers up to an isolated and unwary outpost guard and slits his throat or plunges a knife into his heart. Then follows an infinitely more chilling ritual...

The Pentagon remains reluctant to commit U.S. armed forces to a landlocked, roadless and rugged terrain for an endless guerrilla war against Communists from China and North Viet Nam. Souvanna may well suffer the fate of other non-Communist leaders who have tried to govern in conjunction with the Reds and have lost their countries to Communist subversion...
