The only thing I knew about this movie is the thing that everyone knows about it: the beach scene with Montgomery Clift and Donna Reed kissing in the water. The movie is so much more than that. There were some moments that dragged a little but Montgomery Clift and Frank Sinatra are really good in this. I haven’t seen a Montgomery Clift film before this, but I know his story thanks to the You Must Remember T’ podcast. I am very interested in seeing more of his films. I also love his character in this. It’s like a precursor to Ned Stark in GAME OF THRONES and Virgil Hilts in THE GREAT ESCAPE.
