PRIDE AND THE PASSION, THE(1957)
Another war movie for Cary, along with Frank Sinatra and
Sophia Loren! Not a huge fan of Loren, and even a less of
one of Sinatra in dramas(comedies are a different story!)
And not a war movie fan! Cary does fine in this, but the
whole thing is over long and over boring! Not one of Cary's
best!! C+
From IMDb.com:
Somehow likeable, but overlong and totally ludicrous period
piece. Sinatra is a Spanish rebel against Napoleon (?), and
Grant looks like a natural born fool in a bright blue English
naval uniform. Loren is fun to look at, but her character is
a cliche and the romance between Grant and Loren is not
introduced by any devices, making it feel unconvincing and
forced. Nice footage of the giant cannon they're carrying
getting loose and floating down a surging river. Some OK
scenes, but not enough real emotion to carry the film's 2 hr.
12 minute running time through. - funkyfry
