Frank at 100
July 24 - 26, 2015
The lone directorial effort by Sinatra is a tense and intelligent drama about the crew of a downed World War II plane, stranded on a remote island in the Pacific and compelled to forge a tentative piece with a Japanese platoon.
The lone directorial effort by Sinatra is a tense and intelligent drama about the crew of a downed World War II plane, stranded on a remote island in the Pacific, compelled to forge a tentative peace with a Japanese platoon. Also serving as one of the film’s producers, Sinatra takes the supporting role of Chief Pharmacist Mate, confidant to the company’s captain (Clint Walker). Notable as the first Japanese/American co-production, None But the Brave depicted war from dueling perspectives four decades before Clint Eastwood’s Iwo Jima films. The project also threatened Sinatra’s life, as he was caught in a riptide while filming and nearly drowned, rescued in the nick of time by co-star Brad Dexter.
