"The Sand Pebbles," starring Steve McQueen, Richard Attenborough and Richard Crenna, is an excellent, if slightly slow-moving and over-long film that tells a compelling story of the American navy in China during the 1920s, when the United States was one of the world's foremost practitioners of "gunboat diplomacy." Based on a novel of the same name by Richard McKenna, it was directed by Robert Wise ("West Side Story," "The Sound of Music") and adapted for the screen by Robert Anderson.
