    Natalie Wood is the girl with a black father,torn between the man she loves and Frank Sinatra-the one who loves her and understands her.
    This film is done quite well. Frank and Natalie's roles are well done-the surplus of war scenes detracts a bit from the love story and the ending is a surprise, but it's a great film. Remember the age difference b/w Sinatra and Wood!!
