If you're like us, you consider Robert Wise's 1966 epic The Sand Pebbles one of the great films of that decade. It also represents the only film that saw Steve McQueen nominated for an Oscar. The film was nominated for numerous major awards, but unfortunately the Academy chose to honor that noble snooze-fest A Man for All Seasons. Nevertheless, The Sand Pebbles lives on through legions of loyal fans worldwide. Their prime meeting place is the ultimate tribute site at www.thesandpebbles.com Here, virtually every aspect of the film is celebrated, from rare production stills to fascinating insights and film clips. Among the latter is the full length theatrical trailer that also features brief glimpses of Wise's previous triumphs, West Side Story and The Sound of Music. Curiously, the trailer also features a deleted scene of river bandits firing on the ship. Click here to visit the site - but be prepared to spend a long time there! Click here to view the trailer.
