Featured review
Can you imagine a love triangle, where a woman has to choose between Gary Cooper, David Niven, and Broderick Crawford? Of course, everyone in their right mind would choose David Niven in a heartbeat, but when Broderick breeds and names a unique species of flowers after his love interest, it's pretty cute.
Unfortunately, the best part of The Real Glory is the beginning romance with the three men trying to court Andrea Leeds. Then, the war starts, and it goes downhill. Gary Cooper, the biggest star of the three at the time, soars to take up the most screen time, and the plot is hardly interesting. I like Gary Cooper in a couple of movies, but when he's cast as in a strong, decisive role, he just isn't convincing. This is far from the best war movie you'll see in your lifetime, so unless you're a total Gary Cooper fan, I suggest you skip it and find a better one.
