Race, love, and war. The Allies have landed in France, set up in a
coastal town, where Lt. Sam Loggins, a serious guy from Manhattan's west
side, falls hard for Monique Blair, an American raised in France.
Loggins' sergeant, Britt Harris, a playboy from Jersey, also finds
Monique attractive. She chooses one to love and the other to befriend
after disclosing her parents' history and why she lives in France. The
men say it makes no difference, a wedding is announced, and the soldiers
face a dangerous mission behind enemy lines. But is everyone being
truthful?

Gem of a Film To Enjoy
This film takes
place during WW II in Southern France in 1944 almost at the end of the
war. However, the Americans and German's were still fighting with each
other in the fancy French Reveria where one minute it is calm and
peaceful and the next minute there is a complete war going on with the
Germans. Frank Sinatra plays the role as a First Lt. Sam Loggins who is a
war veteran and he is given a new assignment to try and destroy and
remove the Germans in Southern France. Sam hires a new Cpl. Britt
Harris, (Tony Curtis) as a communications expert who will travel along
with Sam and these two eventually get along with each other. Besides
fighting the war, Sam Loggins goes on leave in town and meets a charming
young gal who he seems to fall in love at first sight, this gal's name
is Monique Blair, (Natalie Wood) who is an American but has lived most
of her life in Southern France. Britt begins to take an interest in
Monique and this is when the story gets very interesting and some
secrets are uncovered in the life of Monique Blair. This is really a
great Classic and a film you will not want to view. Enjoy.
