"The Young Lions"

Posted by danj on July 10, 2007 at 23:19:00:
Quite an interesting multi-storyline film. This has an impressive cast including Marlon Brando, Montgomery Clift, and Dean Martin. It came out in the late fifties and is one of the first American war films that examined the psychology of being soldiers. (I'm counting "Twelve O'clock High" and "The Men")

Who has seen this interesting film? Any comments?

Me? I like it a lot. While I don't think it's on a par with the aforementioned films, I find it thought provoking and quite well done. Brando's casting is unusual but actually works and Dino proved he actually did have some acting chops. Clift is, well, his usual melancholy everyman and shows why he was one of the finest actors of his generation - every bit as good as Brando but a lot more subtle.
