It's 1810. Napolean is smashing through the Spanish army. The French is searching for a giant Spanish cannon. The British is a Spanish ally during this time. British Naval Captain Anthony Trumbull (Cary Grant) is ordered to retrieve the cannon. Miguel (Frank Sinatra) leads a Spanish guerrilla group but he intends to use it himself against the French. Juana (Sophia Loren) is Miguel's mistress.
The stars are big. The production is big. It's a Hollywood epic. Sinatra is playing a Spanish character. I don't really buy it but I've seen worst. I may not have heard worst but I've seen worst. It's a fine underdog story but the tension doesn't get that high. The big climax has some action but it's not the most kinetic. The movie is basically one long march. It is the stars that is the most compelling although I'm not getting that much romantic heat.
