Review of Never So Few (1959) by Paul D — 15 Apr 2010
A bit of a dry run for John Sturges and Steve McQueen (and Charles Bronson for that matter) before they collaborated on the classics The Magnificent Seven and The Great Escape. It was a huge stroke of luck for McQueen that he got the role of Corporal Ringa after star Frank Sinatra wielded his power and took it away from Sammy Davis Jr after briefly falling out with his Rat Pack cohort.
McQueen gives by far the best performance in an okay war film plighted by a meandering romantic subplot.
