    • Quotes

      Ellen's father: If he loves you as much you love him, he'll make you go.

      Ellen: You've been so clever, so logical, I've never knew that you handled words so well.

      Ellen's father: That's not an answer, Elly.

      Ellen: You weren't quite so logical a few years ago when we needed some boys to ground and get killed or paralyzed.

    • Crazy credits
      FILM DEDICATION: "In all Wars, since the beginning of History, there have been men who fought twice. The first time they battled with club, sword or machine gun. The second time they had none of these weapons. Yet this by far, was the greatest battle. It was fought with abiding faith and raw courage and in the end, Victory was achieved. This is the story of such a group of men. To them this film is dedicated."

    Strange Bedfellows

    Marlon Brando's screen debut is a strong one and the film is very hard hitting for 1950's cinema. But the real pleasure is watching Jack Webb, especially in his scenes with Brando. Webb was a much better actor than he is given credit for, (he's in several good movies of the period and is consistently good), before allowing himself to be typecast as the no-nonsense Sgt. Friday. I love watching films from early in actor's careers before their careers took different paths. It's fun seeing "Joe Friday" interact with Hollywood's bad boy. The TV guy more than holds his own.
