Kings Go Forth is a 1958 American black-and-white World War II film starring Frank Sinatra, Tony Curtis, and Natalie Wood.

The screenplay was written by Merle Miller from the 1956 novel of the same name by Joe David Brown, and the film was directed by Delmer Daves.

The plot involves friends of different backgrounds manning an observation post in Southern France who fall in love with the same French girl.

Themes of racism and miscegenation provide the conflict elements between the leading characters, something that was out of the ordinary for films of the time, while the setting during the so-called Champagne Campaign remains unique.

A truckload of fresh young soldiers arrives, one of whom, Corporal Britt Harris admits to radio training and experience—Harris is immediately appointed the unit's radioman by Loggins.

Harris does show bravery while rescuing a group of men trapped in a minefield and while attacking a German bunker single-handed, but Loggins still has his reservations about the man.

Back on surveillance duty of a town where the Germans have set up, Loggins does so, and it doesn't seem to bother Harris.

On his way to report to the Colonel, while talking to Corporal Lindsay, Loggins finds out that Harris had indeed picked up the completed paperwork three weeks earlier.

Loggins asks for a few hours leave for both of them to take care of some personal matters in Nice, to which the Colonel agrees.

The duo establishes themselves at 2 a.m. in the church tower, calls in, and reports their observations, especially that a hidden section of the village contains an enormous German artillery/ammo dump.

The German officers, panicking at the thought of American soldiers in the village, order an immediate evacuation.

The movie ends with Loggins relating how he was found under the rubble still alive by US troops, and brought to a hospital, where his right arm was amputated.

When Loggins is finally released from the hospital after many months, he decides to go to Nice to visit Monique one last time before returning to the States.

As a tribute to Loggins and all the American soldiers who fought to free France, the children sing a song of appreciation.
