Review of The Sand Pebbles (1966) by Muffin M — 23 Aug 2011
The Sand Peebles tells many stories. It's the story of China, a slumbering giant that rouses itself to the cries of its people - and of the Americans who are caught in its bloddy awakening. It's the story of French (Richard Attenborough), a crewman on the USS San Pablo who kidnaps his Chinese bride from the auction block. Most of all, it's the story of Jake Homan (Steve McQueen), a sailor who has given up trying to make peace with anything - including himself.
Also stars Richard Crenna, Candice Bergin, Mako, Marayat Andriane, Larry Gates, Simon Oakland and Ford Rainey.
Directed by Robert Wise.
