Kings Go Forth (1958)
Directed by Delmer
Daves this film stars Frank Sinatra, Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood and
Leora Dana. In the south of France during WW2 an officer and one of
the men under his command fall in love with the same woman.
While the basic plot
of this film is very common the script adds a little shading round
the edges by using class differences and racial prejudice to add to
the conflict. It is some what of a nice surprise to see a slightly
deeper level applied to the usual love triangle story for a change.
Mostly the film is well made and the South of France provides a
different back drop to the usual.
4/5
