The Young Lions (1958)
Montgomery Clift, Dean Martin and Marlon Brando play soldiers on opposite sides in WWII. There’s an interesting scene in the beginning where a pretty girl walks by and Martin’s character notices immediately. Clift’s character is oblivious. Martin’s character asks something like: You ever made it with a girl? Then softens: You must not have your antenna up. Earlier, Clift’s character quickly takes note of Martin’s character at the draft board. Kind of art reflecting reality, as Clift was known to be homosexual. Martin’s character sets Clift’s up with a girl, and they quickly get married before the two men are shipped off to training and war. Later in the film, Clift’s character gets ostracized by the platoon (I missed the reason for it), and he is constantly getting into fights. He finally beats one of the gang and wins some respect.
