Rita Hayworth really "gets" the character much better than Joan Crawford did in the earlier movie. Rita is so fun-loving and innocent in the beginning... Crawford NEVER seemed "innocent" in any of her films <grin>.
Jose Ferrer was spot-on his character, too, though Aldo Ray was not the best choice... but that may be the weakness of the part, which is preachier than the preacher!
The view of Charles Bronson (credited as Charles Buchinsky) as one of the army guys was fun, too.
On the whole, I enjoyed it, and I think it's worth seeing. The ending is true to the book: wonderfully ambiguous.
