A film at odds w/itself. During World War II, a pair of soldiers meet up w/a young Parisian woman (played by Natalie Wood). Both men fall in love w/her but when her racial background is found out, one still wants her (who in turn she rejects) while the other can't come to terms w/the revelation. The soldiers, played by Frank Sinatra & Tony Curtis, let the reveal determine the trajectory of their relationship which comes to a head when they're assigned a deadly mission to destroy a German weapons depot. Having enough plot for 2 films, you can see how the story elements grind to a halt when one half takes over from the other. Delmer Daves does a fine job here in direction but the story elements still feel unresolved.
