Review of The Guns of Navarone (1961) by Brandon S — 09 Dec 2009
Well made World War II film set in Greece about the destruction of a large Nazi base, features non stop action throughout and multiple plot twist. Peck, Quinn, and Niven shine as the key players of the squad sent out to destroy the guns of Navarone.
Guns of Navarone has alot of the staples of the 50's and 60's war film craze, that was probably an influnence to films like the Dirty Dozen, Where the Eagles Dare, and Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds.
The only problem that I had with the picture was that it seemed a bit long, but it's hard to say that sense the action never lets up.
