30 Dec Never so Few
Never so Few, WWII Movie with Frank Sinatra and Steve McQueen
(1959) I really wanted to like this movie. It is based on a book of the same name about an OSS unit that served in Burma, an important location in the war against Japan.
Frank Sinatra stars as the head of this unit, and he has an excellent supporting cast in Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Dean Jones, Paul Henreid.
Frank looked like he had his mind on something else throughout most of the movie, and it wasn’t Gina Lollobrigida. Every time she showed up, “Captain, you have a visitor,” I couldn’t help but roll my eyes.
There were some beautiful location and aerial scenes. I appreciated the OSS connection and learned about one of their critical operations in this part of the world.
Watch movie clips and an original trailer on the Turner Classic Movies site.
