Review of The Guns of Navarone (1961) by Edgar C — 17 Sep 2009
The Guns of Navarone had everything to be an extraordinary piece of filmmaking: it had the plot, the cast and the budget. However, it ddn't succeed in the way it could.
The Guns of Navarone is a splendid film, no doubt about it. The performances were pretty good overall and the pace was perfectly adequate, except form some parts. The plot is intriguing and very interesting, and the setting was good. However, it lacked the splendid direction it required and at some points it seemed like the plot was too great for the director to handle. The remarkable aspect about the film are its special effects, which was the only Academy Award it won out of the 7 nominations it got.
So in the end, The Guns of Navarone is a very interesting and fun film to see. Other than that, it is no masterpiece. Judgment at Nuremberg was an extraordinarily superior film that year.
84/100.
