July 16 2026… #movieoftheday is The Pride and the Passion (full movie) (1957).
“The Pride and the Passion is a 1957 American Napoleonic -era war film in Technicolor and VistaVision from United Artists , produced and directed by Stanley Kramer , starring Cary Grant , Frank Sinatra and Sophia Loren . The film co-stars Theodore Bikel and Jay Novello .
“The storyline concerns a British Royal Navy artillery officer who has orders to retrieve a huge siege cannon from Spain and transport it by ship to British forces. However, the leader of the Spanish guerrillas needs the cannon to defeat the French at Ávila before releasing it to the British. Most of the film deals with the hardships of transporting the large cannon across rivers and over mountains, while evading occupying French forces. A sub-plot concerns the struggle for the love of the Spanish woman Juana (Loren) by the two male protagonists.
“The film story and screenplay by Edna Anhalt and Edward Anhalt are loosely based on the 1933 novel The Gun by C. S. Forester ...
“The film's music score was the last important work by George Antheil , once famous as the "bad boy of music" in the 1920s. It is the only one of Antheil's many film scores to have been preserved on a commercial soundtrack recording.” - more at Wikipedia
