Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
offempspec Pre-expansion heavyweight and National Hockey League penalty minute leader Howie Young is just one of the guys!
conroys-244-891161 I couldn't watch any more of the movie as soon as Tommy Sands opened his mouth to deliver his lines! Could not care less about the theme or message of this movie. Was not going to waste my time watching "nails on chalkboard" acting.
DJAkin I was very impressed with this movie. The Technicolor was amazing and Frank Sinatra was good in it. The movie was basically about a bunch of Marine's that crash onto an island in their plane. Once they are there, the Japanese start to attack them at every opportunity. The lieutenant was over the top. He would yell stuff like "I AM TIRED OF THE WAY YOUR ARE RUNNING THIS PLATOON! ARE YOU QUESTIONING MY AUTHORITY?" He would open his mouth literally as WIDE OPEN as it could go with EACH AND EVERY WORD. I am not kidding either. In once scene he said "I AM GOING TO KILL ME SOME DIRTY JAPS" to which Frank Sinatra replied "Dirty Japs lieutenant? Why they invented the bathroom!" Anyway, the Japs and the American's eventually discover that nobody will come to rescue them from the Island so they decide to have a truce and become friends. There was this one FAT Japanese soldier that looked like the guy from Gilligan's Island (round glasses). It was quite funny. Also, the Japanese in this movie were not as ruthless as they were in reality. Another unrealistic scene was when this Japanese fisherman was being held at gunpoint by a Marine. So, the Japanese fisherman starts laughing. The Marine instantly started to laugh as well and traded a few cigarettes for some fish. The ending was very violent and unrealistic as well. However - the highlight of this movie was definitely the lieutenant. I have tried to imitate him and it's literally hard on the jaw muscles to talk that way.
wes-connors During World War II, some United States marines crash-land on an island inhabited by a stranded platoon of Japan's finest. At first, the opposing cultures clash; but, due to their isolation, the fighting men learn commonalities - and, they assist each other, to survive. What will happen when the outside world intrudes? "None But the Brave" is, unfortunately, a very ordinary production. Frank Sinatra (as Mate Maloney) could be counted among the brave, for the film's somewhat daring thesis. Mr. Sinatra, who co-produced and directed, offers an unexpected point-of-view.Sinatra's boozing on-screen character is interesting because… well, just because he's Frank Sinatra. In between swigs, Sinatra amputates a leg; that, and a bit of bad weather are the film's big dramatic moments The parallel scenes of the opposing cultures in flashback are a highlight. The Japanese, led by Tatsuya Mihashi (as Lieutenant Kuroki) outperform the Americans, led by Clint Walker (as Dennis Bourke). Sinatra son-in-law Tommy Sands (as Lieutenant Blair) clearly illustrates Sinatra's generosity; soon, Mr. Sands would discover the Chairman had around two categories for human relationships."None But the Brave" is too careless to be classic; but, it suggests Sinatra might have had an interesting and successful film directorial career, if he chose to focus on that particular credit. **** None But the Brave (2/24/65) Frank Sinatra ~ Frank Sinatra, Clint Walker, Tommy Sands, Tatsuya Mihashi
