Paul Newman made a WW 2 comedy circa 1967. It wasn't a big success but I remember seeing it in the theater and enjoying it. I believe Sophia Loren was also in it.

"The Big Red One" with Lee Marvin and Mark Hamill (who had just made Star Wars), circa late 70's, was a great and most moving film. I won't give away the ending but it was quite emotional.

Yes, The Secret War of Harry Frigg (1968) was not funny and a turkey all around. Paul did do ok in The Rack (1956), Until They Sail (1957), Exodus (1960), Torn Curtain (1966) and Fat Man and Little Boy (1989) (5 more I missed!), but he Frigged Up in 1967...
