Plot: Race, love, and war. The Allies have landed in France, set up in a coastal town, where Lt. Sam Loggins, a serious guy from Manhattan's west side, falls hard for Monique Blair, an American raised in France. Loggins' sergeant, Britt Harris, a playboy from Jersey, also finds Monique attractive. She chooses one to love and the other to befriend after disclosing her parents' history and why she lives in France. The men say it makes no difference, a wedding is announced, and the soldiers face a dangerous mission behind enemy lines. But is everyone being truthful?
Alternative Plot: During World War II, in a picturesque town on the French Riviera, U.S. Army Lt. Sam Loggins (Frank Sinatra) and Cpl. Britt Harris (Tony Curtis) both fall for the same local girl, the American-born Monique Blair (Natalie Wood). But when the soldiers learn that Monique and her mother (Leora Dana) had moved to France from the United States to escape discrimination against her parents' interracial marriage, each man must examine his own bigotry and prejudices.
