Review of The Young Lions (1958) by Lenard K — 27 May 2010
Marlon brando with bleached blond hair and a german accent surprisingly avoids being ridiculous, montgomery clift post-accident, visibly worn out from pills and alcohol... it was only five years ago that he was in 'from here to eternity' wearing he same uniform, looking fresh and ready for action.
poor guy. he gets beat up in this too. I think he really does like to fight, like his character says. [marilyn later described him as 'the only person I know who is in worse shape than I am' as she was spiraling out herself during the filming of 'the misfits.
'] dean martin is basically dean martin, a singer who does his best to avoid danger while his buddies are sent to the front lines... not a bad movie, but maybe too long.
