Review of Kelly's Heroes (1970) by William R — 05 Jul 2008
An anomaly. A war flick that isn't really about war. WWII merely serves as the backdrop for a story about a bunch of greedy bastards. Pretty neat, I think. A great cast, which includes Don Sutherland as a proto-hippie.
I generally do not give a 5-star rating to a film that portrays an historical event in a less-than-accurate light, but as I previously stated this really isn't a film ABOUT WWII and besides, with all the confusion involved with the Allied push towards the Rhine, the scenario in this film seems at least plausible.
And even if it doesn't, who gives a damn?! It's a great movie!
