Never So Few
Perhaps this movie's tagline should have been: Never before has so much talent produced such little results. That's probably not true, but just about everyone involved in this film has seen better days, or would. Inklings of stardom can be seen in Steve McQueen, who would break out with The Magnificent Seven a year later, as would director John Sturges with that same film; and both of them (not to mention Charles Bronson, who also comes along for this career boosting ride) would do much better on the WWII movie front in 1963 with The Great Escape. But Never So Few is Frank Sinatra's movie, in which an actor/singer from Hoboken, N.J., plays Capt. Tom Reynolds of Indianapolis and a completely ridiculous love story mucks up the whole works. The film was shot on some very impressive locations, but that's about all this entirely failed attempt to cross The Bridge on the River Kwai and Casablanca has going for it. Who needs a bridge over Casablanca anyway?
