Never So Few (1959)
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 co-star. 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.

An interesting movie! You can see the influence of Korean War in the script. I enjoyed watching Charles Bronson and Steve McQueen in their supporting roles. I don't know if Frank Sinatra was all that convincing as the Unit leader. Steve McQueen would have played the part better. Still it was entertaining and worth a look.

Not a great film despite the director and cast. As a fan, Charles Bronson was my reason for watching. Entertaining.

From what I saw it's a very good movie but every time I started to watch we got visitors. Got about half way through.

Interesting movie, little bit of war, romance, intrigue and some great scenery. Frank and his English buddy have the knack of regulary switching from guerilla warfare to the safety and security of olden cities.
