Frank Sinatra told the director to give the newcomer a break. John Sturges (The Great Escape) obliged, providing favorable camera angles for Sinatra’s young costar. In his first big-budget film, Steve McQueen was ready to grab the movie world’s attention.

McQueen plays Bill Ringa, one of the O.S.S. combatants harassing the enemy in World War II Burma. Sinatra is Capt. Tom Reynolds, leading the guerilla fighters and risking court-martial while doing so. Also among Never So Few’s many are Charles Bronson, Peter Lawford and, in her first Hollywood film, Gina Lollobrigida. About McQueen, the New York Herald Tribune’s reviewer wrote, “He possesses that combination of smooth-rough charm that suggests star possibilities.” A star is born in Never So Few.

This was Steve McQueen's break out film after "The Blob" due to Frank being pissed off at Sammy.

I love Brian Donlevy's brief but memorable performance at the end of this film

 

[Randy Korstick]

Nice. Definitely getting this. The DVD was so-so. This should be a big upgrade.

Maybe None But the Brave will come from WAC someday as well.

An absolutely gorgeous underscore by Hugo Friedhofer! Almost as gorgeous as Gina Lollobrigida looks in the movie!

Four for four for me. But I am concerned about DARK OF THE SUN, which I pine for more than for any of this month's titles. I know WB said it was coming, but...

I was just about to say the same thing....

Same here.....I did ask WAC on Facebook last month about the status. They responded that the release was still coming but no release date set. It's unusual, I can't remember them ever announcing an upcoming title and then not releasing it pretty soon thereafter.

Update: They just responded on Twitter today to another person's question about DOTS. Here's the exchange:

Question: Is Dark of the Sun still heading to Blu-Ray this summer?

WAC: Yes! We ran into some issues with it but it's still coming. Stay Tuned.
