based on a novel by Irwin Shaw
This 1958 film may be (considered) a classic and an epic but it didn’t age well. Maybe it wasn’t that good to start with. Marlon Brando as a blonde German officer speaking (even to other Germans) in English with fake German accent is an embarrassment. Ditto the other protagonists. The only believable character, in my view, is cool and cynical Frau Hardenberg portrayed by May Britt.
The Young Lions (El baile de los malditos) was shown as part of the cycle 90 años de la 20th Century Fox organised by Asociación de Cine Vértigo.
