Description : A movie star in every sense of the word -- not only handsome but also immensely talented and the ultimate "guy," -- Steve McQueen (Bullitt) takes on a role in 1966's The Sand Pebbles that garnered him his one and only Best Actor Oscar, a surprise to me considering not only the presence he brought to his roles, but also the classic films he performed in (the aforementioned Bullitt, The Blob, The Great Escape, and The Cincinnati Kid, to name a few). The Sand Pebbles is not only another first-rate McQueen project, but is one of the greats to come from the lens of legendary director Robert Wise (Star Trek: The Motion Picture, The Sound of Music). The film received seven additional Oscar nominations, among them Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor for Mako (Seven Years in Tibet). With a backdrop of gunboat diplomacy in China, The Sand Pebbles is a timeless, relevant movie about perpetually important themes: love, respect, racism, duty, and honor.
