<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I am a fan of Brando, Martin, and especially Montgomery Clift. \u00a0The three leads in the film were all outstanding.\u00a0 \u00a0Clift demonstrated his mastery of the screen as he stole the picture along with Hope Lange, an exceptional actress in every respect. Brando was the blond German, Martin the singer, and Clift the Jew. \u00a0Lange’s WASP character falls for Clift, and the ending gives hope for the world. Viewing this war film as a child, there were scenes in it that I would never forget, and after various viewings, I still enjoy watching the greatest of the actors on display, and Brando and Schell’s travels through the sands of North Africa on a motorbike, trying to escape the Allied army on their tail. This film dealt with various themes and is in my view, a thinking man’s movie of World War 2<\/strong>,\u00a0 A major production with the biggest stars of cinema.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Variety<\/a> <\/em>gave a positive review and noted: “The Young Lions<\/em> is a canvas of the Second World War of scope and stature. It’s a king-sized credit to all concerned, from Edward Anhalt’s skillful adaptation of Irwin Shaw’s novel to Edward Dmytryk’s realistic direction and the highly competent portrayals of virtually everyone in the cast.”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/fredsportsextra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-young-lions-year-1958-usa-marlon-brando-dean-martin-montgomery-B7R6RF-1024x744.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\nA rich film in every respect, this is a must-see for any new film buff.\u00a0 You can read the particulars of the movie on the net, but if you haven’t seen it please do. It will allow you to understand the world during World War 2 and show you a side of that war that we don’t visit much. DVD copies are easy to get at a reasonable price.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/fredsportsextra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/young-lions-slide-2.jpg\")
