Nothing's as romantic and steamy as the secret liaison ending up with the waves crashing on the half-naked bodies of Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr.

Top CriticAdmittedly, it may be more of a guy’s idea of a romantic film than a woman’s. But it has a taut script and a letter-perfect cast.

It remains a powerful commentary on the military world, and one that’s packed with fascinating characters and compelling subplots.

A lavish, star-studded spectacle, much bowdlerized but redeemed by a slew of fine performances.
