The Pride and the Passion is a 1957 war film produced and directed by Stanley Kramer, starring Cary Grant, Frank Sinatra and Sophia Loren. Set in the Napoleonic era, it is the story of a British officer who has orders to retrieve a huge cannon from Spain and take it to the British forces by ship. But first the leader of the Spanish guerrillas wants to transport the cannon 1,000 km across Spain to help in the capture of Ávila from the French before he releases the cannon to the British. Most of the movie deals with the hardships of transporting the cannon across rivers and through mountains while evading the occupying French forces and culminates in the final battle for Ávila. A sub-plot is the struggle for the affections of Loren by the two officers. The screen story and screenplay by Edna Anhalt and Edward Anhalt was loosely based on the 1933 novel The Gun by C.S. Forester. Earl Felton did an uncredited re-write. George Antheil composed the score. Saul Bass designed the opening title sequence. The film co-starred Theodore Bikel and Jay Novello. The picture was filmed in Technicolor and VistaVision, and released by United Artists. LESS
