“The Young Lions sticks to its aim of showing us the human experience of war… Though it more often than not does this in a way which also filled the studiou0026#39;s quota of love scenes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor a war picture, in fact, there are more love scenes than war scenes! In the first hour, youu0026#39;d think you were in the wrong movie!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBRANDO FANS ALERT: This is one of his better performances, even one of his best iu0026#39;d say.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBe warned: the picture is sort of episodic, and bounces between the germans and the americans every twenty minutes, developing parallel narratives. It can seem fairly uneven, for that reason.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHow did Monty and Dean manage to be friends before the war and be drafted into the exact same platoon? Magic.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e8/10.”
