So,,, you have 1000 people and countless mules dragging a giant sized cannon,,, up hill, down hill, side hill,, literally all over the Spanish countryside,,, leaving a trail that Helen Keller could follow??? But 10 citizens a day will be executed until the cannon is found,,,, because the entire French army is unable to locate this thing??? A 1000 kilometer trek that must have taken months????? I don't mean to nit pick but this seems to be a "bit" of a flaw to me.
Frank Sinatra as a Spanish patriot???? Maybe,, if not for the fact that every time he opened his mouth,, that phony Spanish accent made my stomach lurch.
There is a song and dance number in the movie the features Sophia Loren's two big guns that is worth watching,,, if you love big guns. Her performance seemed to have the same effect on Cary Grant as it did on me,,,, major wood... Stiff and emotionless as I've ever seen him.. The only spark in the entire movie is when the cannon is fired..
So,,, what you have here is a 132 minute movie with 2 minutes of dance,, 5 minutes of battle scenes,,, 10 minutes meaningless dialogue and 115 ponderous minutes of cannon dragging.... If you happen to be into cannon dragging,,, this is a must see.....
