Default Re: What have you been watching?

Last nite on Turner Classic Movies (TCM) was a troika of Sinatra war films:

Kings Go Forth - Sinatra, Tony Curtis and Natalie Wood - takes place right after the invasion of Southern France - kind of a 'love triangle with racial overtones' kind of plot - interesting show - not a lot of action - but, at the end, the Sinatra character loses an arm and the last few scenes of him as a one-armed serviceman are quite effective - I have no idea how they strapped his real arm down.

Never So Few - Sinatra, Gina Lollobrigida, Peter Lawford, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Paul Henreid, Dean Jones - Sinatra is an O.S.S. agent in Northern Burma training the local Kachin in guerilla operations. Needless to say, Frank and Gina hook up, but an interesting movie set in the jungles of Burma.

None But The Brave - Sinatra, Clint Walker and a host of Japanese actors - American and Japanese soldiers, trapped on a small Pacific island, must cooperate to survivie. I didn't watch this one - went to bed.

-whatever
