2/06: Apart from the fact that it's Steve McQueen's first major Hollywood picture, Never So Few is extremely boring.

Gina Lollobrigida? I never heard of her, and she's terrible in it! Of course, Gina Lollobrigida won a bunch of awards in Italy only because she's a knockout. Other than that, she seems incapable of mastering the art of acting.

Meanwhile, I'm disappointed in Frank Sinatra for choosing the project. He could do a lot better. But to his credit, Frank Sinatra endorsed Steve McQueen by letting him take over the show because he knew he would be a star one day. This stinker was directed by John Sturges, but not to worry, he would take Steve McQueen to Germany and give him the chance to become an international star overnight because of the famous motorcycle scene in The Great Escape.

All in all, Never So Few runs too long and has tame battle scenes.
