I would much rather watch this wonderful and exciting movie, then to ever again read the dark novel that this came from.
On an expedition from Mexico to California in 1769, Father Junipero Serra (Michael Rennie) joins a group of soldiers, led by Capt. The review concluded that for all its length, "the film never gets down to a clear statement of its theme, or comes within measuring the distance of its vast pretensions. Colorful and evocative cinematography by Douglas Slocombe in widescreen who reflects splendidly the Caribbean outdoors . The scene in which Quinn's character dances the Sirtaki was filmed on the beach of the village of Stavros. ranks, Raspéguy's last scene shows him receiving a medal while his Regiment is presented with a unit citation.Requiem for a Heavyweight” is a powerful and emotional film that features strong performances from its cast. Despite his deformity, Quasimodo is a sympathetic figure, and Quinn’s portrayal brings him to life with depth and humanity.
Nicely produced, with good actors, but story feels contrived and predictable, with the two pirates gathering no sympathy for their eventual plight(making them "heroic" figures is most dubious! As a child I lived in a small town where the theatre played a lot of movies over and over, esp westerns, and I could even watch a movie 2 or 3 times in one sitting if I wanted.Filmed just months after the actual allied invasion of Guadalcanal late in 1942, this patriotic feature follows a ragtag group of Marines sent to fight in the South Pacific.

After a robbery in Harlem turns into a scene of mass murder, promising young black police officer William Pope (Yaphet Kotto) is assigned to the case, along with surly, prejudiced Italian-American cop Frank Mattelli (Anthony Quinn). The film stars Armand Assante, in the title role as infamous Gambino crime family boss John Gotti, William Forsythe, and Anthony Quinn.
Mt gut tells me the reason for this is likely the usual in these sorts situations: some endless (and meaningless) copyright dispute.

Anthony Quinn’s Performance: Quinn delivers a powerful performance as Quasimodo, capturing both the physical and emotional complexity of the character.
Gioia (Anna Magnani) leaves Italy for a ranch in Nevada, where she makes a new life with husband Gino (Anthony Quinn), her sister's widower. Throughout his career, Quinn tackled a wide variety of roles, from Greek heroes to Mexican revolutionaries to circus strongmen, always bringing depth, nuance, and authenticity to his performances. James Coburn is the voice of reason as a sly ,articulate pirate, who stands between the bumbling captain and his restless crew. She very innocently, grievously, and mistakenly says something that sends her beloved Captain, and his crew, to the gallows. In addition to theatrical films, Quinn's career also included several appearances on television programs and anthology series, as well as television films and documentaries.
Tension between the Seminole and the army rises, and, when a guard is killed at the fort, the lieutenant is blamed for the murder.
