Excellent....

Rating: Null/10 (6 May 2001)

I love this movie for so many different reasons, but I think mainly because it has a sense of depth to it, and feeling, that very few war films had during that time. All the actors were brilliant, but Montgomery Clift was the absolute best. I guess Hollywood must have really been hating on him for some reason, maybe because he declared how much he hated Hollywood so many times, that they totally ripped him off of the Oscar he OBVIOUSLY deserved. No performance, although they were all brilliant, matched his. And I will go as far to say that Monty made this movie. He embodied it. Its one of his best films, and he just takes over it. Prewitt is someone you either love or hate, and it can be both at the same time. The women are also great in the film, especially Donna Reed as the young prostitute who falls in love with Prew. And Lancaster and Sinatra are also wonderful, but like I said before, Monty Clift makes this movie and takes it the whole way through. He definitely inspired Dean in his characters, and that should be recognized.
