Movie Review: The Pride and the Passion- Satisfies the Passion for Films
Summary: 5 Stars
What's not to like about a movie that has some good elements. Good Stars, (Stars from the past era, before everyone was a "Super Star"), Cary Grant, Sophia Loren, Frank Sinatra, A cast of Thousands,(really)and a monumental task for the heroes to do. I know a lot of people will say that it may not be the best plot, or in light of the current special effects the "coolest" CG., but it is very entertaining. I know movie critics of the time it was released did not care for it, but sometimes movie critics care more for you liking them and how they write then the movies they review. The story line is simple, War between Spain and France. Spain had a huge cannon that they made for the War and it is abandoned during a battle. France knows the cannon is somewhere and wants it, the British know there is a big cannon somewhere and they want it. The Spanish rebels know there is a big cannon, know where it is but don't care.
They don't care, until Cary Grant shows up wanting the cannon for the British. Well Frank (the head of the Rebels) Knows where it is. Frank has another plan for the cannon...ah the plot thickens. Well Cary know how to fire it, and Frank wants it for his purpose. Sophia? well she is the glue between the characters and convices them to work together. Can't think of a better motovator! She has a cause, she has leaders ear, she...well she has Cary's attention! She looks so sexy and lovely that it is hard for Cary and us to not have our attention. So a deal is struck. Cary helps them, then they help him get the cannon to where he wants later. Cary Grant always looks great. No exception to the rule here. Handsome as ever, dashing even in his British uniform, and as usual some humor thrown in. He is always the "Hollywood Star" quality. Does not have to say anything sometimes, just is. Frank as a Spanish speaker...hummm not perfect, but who cares he makes you like the charater...tough guy...but has the heroic "cause", and as always his own sex appeal and star quality that is unmistakeable. Sophia what's not to like. She looks good, she is dripping with sexuality, but has a strong female charater...she makes the guys do what she wants, and makes them want her, and respect her...what not to like about the charater. She is the spark and the glue that drive them on and settles the quarrels. And as you guessed it's a love triangle. Find another movies that has those elements. We want them to succeed. We want them to all be together. We marvel at the "huge" cannon...will they fail, will the big gun perform (Adults add their own side story line), and will the guys get the girl...humm which guy gets her... hummm? The last element is "how the He... did they drag that big prop around the country side without killing the extras!! The box claims that this is the largest group of extras used on a film in a foreign contry...I'm not sure if that is true but it certainly looks like it. Whew! Great Cinemaphotography, great sound, restored picture. Entertaining. (some may find long but it is an epic story) I got so hooked the first time I saw this on the little screen, now I enjoyed it more on my HD LCD 32" screen so much more...still hooked me...who cares it's a tad long....longer looks at the great stars!
