good old 1940 movies
Added 1/23/2009
I was disappointed in this movie. I've seen a lot of the older 1940's war movies and they are always intertaining with good plots. This was lacking in action and acting. It turned out to be more theatrical. Not worth seeing in my opinion.

What's the beef with Gina?
Added 8/27/2008
Never So Few has a good cast, great cinematography, and a terrific Hugo Friedhofer score. It also has Gina Lollobrigida at her most beautiful. I can't understand why there are so many complaints about her in these reviews. She does what she needs to do most admirably. Seems she has always been under appreciated. I thought the romantic scenes were a good contrast with the war sequences.

NEVER SO FEW
Added 6/16/2008
ONE OF FRANK SINATRA'S BEST WAR MOVIE'S, IT GAVE STEVE McQUEEN HIS FIRST BIG BREAK AS A LEAD IN A MOVIE, SHARING THE BILL WITH SEVERAL OTHERS INCLUDING PETER LAWFORD. IT WAS A BREATHOUGH ROLE FOR HIM, AND A THOUGHLY ENJOYABLE MOVIE FOR ONE AND ALL.

Never So Few
Added 5/27/2008
I never received my DVD. After waiting the time frame given for delivery, I had to contact the seller for status. It was never mailed out to me. As they say "You pay for what you get". This included service.

Only for Steve McQueen Diehards...
Added 3/17/2008
Sorry to say this as I like most movies, but the only reason to purchase this movie (wish I had read my own review before I bought it) would be to make sure you have every second of Steve McQueen's screen work. As another reviewer wrote, the romance truly messes with the plot, despite the obvious charms of the leading lady. The only two bright spots are the McQueen bits where he is his usual flip and resourceful self and the scene where Frank soaks his dirty and perhaps cruddy feet in whiskey. Battle scenes on sets, poorly developed personalities of the local hero warriors, and so many plot lines left hanging, like what happened to Gina's man Nick who states that he is not a good loser? Maybe they were planning a sequel where Nick takes Frank down? And Gina is in Intelligence? Hell Is For Heroes is SO much better.
