Story
The events of the film take place in Spain in 1810 , at the height of the partisan-guerillos fight against the invading Napoleonic army . The retreating Spanish troops, unable to drag a huge cannon behind them, throw it from the nearest cliff. However, this unique wall-hung weapon is being hunted down: the French dream of getting it, just like their British rivals, allies of the Spaniards. The British even send their naval officer Anthony ( Carey Grant ) to bring the gun to them in Santander . However, the partisans, who became the owners of the abandoned gun and led by the brave warrior Miguel ( Frank Sinatra ), have other plans: to go first to their native Avila in order to expel the hated enemy from there. Anthony has no choice but to agree. And he did not lose, because on a long journey, strewn with difficulties and adventures, he met his love in the person of the sultry beauty Juana ( Sophia Loren ).
