Kings Go Forth (DVD, 1958)

Frank Sinatra, Tony Curtis, and Natalie Wood star in this searing war drama packed with explosive excitement and fervent passion. Directed by Delmer Daves (The Badlanders) from Joe David Brown’s gripping post-war novel (screenplay by Merle Miller), Kings Go Forth weaves elements of romance, war, and racial tension into a powerful, compelling, and riveting film.

In WWII France, Corporal Britt Harris (Curtis) is assigned to work alongside war-weary Sgt. Loggins (Sinatra) — a man he soon rivals for the affections of the beautiful Monique Blair (Natalie Wood), an American who grew up in France. But when the men learn that Monique’s parents are racially mixed, it tests the character of each — and provides the powerful thematic framework that makes Kings Go Forth a hard-hitting and still timely film.

Vault Fact: Rivals on screen, Frank Sinatra and Tony Curtis were actually close friends in real life — Curtis ran with the Rat Pack, though the two never appeared together in another film.
