2.5/4

The love story is commonplace and hampered by a noticeable lack of chemistry between Sinatra and Lollobrigida -- the war material is similarly humdrum until a late-inning development.

Good action scenes and some unhackneyed humor make the film worth seeing.

an important drama, well-worth your time for the excellent cast. Essential viewing for any Steve McQueen fan. The story does drag on a bit.

C+

Overlong and remiss World War II action/romance film that never moves without a cliché for the stellar cast to kick around.

The trouble with Never So Few is its inability to keep up any wartime drama...

Never So Few est à la fois un bon film d'aventures 50s, avec un jeune Steve McQueen chien fou, un Frank Sinatra (qui arbore une magnifique barbichette) charismatique, un supporting cast de stars et à la fois une romance dramatique complètement ratée entre Sinatra et Gina Lollobrigida qui n'a rien à faire ici, si ce n'est de renforcer une durée déjà bien trop importante. Les scènes de guerre sont étrangement bien faites pour l'époque et John Sturges sait instaurer de l'épique avec ses décors incroyables et sa photographie incroyable. Il n'en demeure pas moins que Never So Few ne raconte pas assez de choses pour ses 2 heures et qu'on reste un peu sur sa faim.
