a5c7b9f00b 1943. With the battle of Stalingrad turning the war against them, the Germans are attempting to bully neutral Turkey into joining the Axis; to this end they have trapped 2,000 British soldiers on Kiros, an island in the Aegean, with only one sea route for evacuation, a sea route commanded by two gigantic German antiship batteries deployed in a massive cliffside bunker on the island of Navarone. Immune to air attack and too much for Allied battleships to suppress, the British muster Keith Mallory, a commando officer who has been working on occupied Crete for nearly two years and who is an expert mountaineer, to ferry a team of British commandos to the only area of Navarone that is not monitored by the Germans, a 400-foot cliff. Greek resistance is to meet the team inland and guide them around German patrols to the area of the German guns. However, the commanding officer of the British team suffers grave injury in the climb and Mallory must take control of the mission, despite clashes with explosives expert John Anthony Miller, who upon the arrival of the night of the raid finds his equipment has been sabotaged, thus exposing a traitor in the team's ranks.
A British team is sent to cross occupied Greek territory and destroy the massive German gun emplacement that commands a key sea channel.
In the age of splendiferous CGI and FX, we tend to forget there was a time when great actors performed in films.<br/><br/>Gregory Peck, David Niven, and Anthony Quinn are all Oscar winners, and Richard Harris had two nominations. Sadly, they are no longer with us.<br/><br/>Funny, it was FX that got this film an Oscar among it's eight nominations Navarone is fictional, of course, and the shots on Rhodes are a stand-in for the real island where the battle took place. The wedding scene was reminiscent of the wedding in The Godfather, with Greek music and singing. Andreas Markides and Dimitri Tiomkin provided great music in a war film that has a soundtrack available.<br/><br/>We need to watch great films suchthis to remind us not only of the great actors of the past, but the sacrifices made by men in women in the cause of freedom.
This is a good, entertaining war movie. It is fine for a rainy afternoon. The one thing I never understood and that stood out at the beginning of the movie was why the suicide option was not implemented. Call for volunteers. When you consider 2,000 allied soldiers were supposedly facing certain death in a week, and the James Robertson Justice character was also going to send in 6 destroyers which he knew would be sunk, and 13 airmen had just lost their lives attacking the guns, strategic considerations and just simple mathematics dictated the suicide option. But then we would not have had the story. I have always like Gregory Peck and he does a fine job in this movie.

Chicago American, Tuesday, June 17, 1958:<br/><br/>LOUELLA O. PARSONS<br/><br/>Carl Foreman's visit to Hollywood lengthened to almost a week instead of two dayshe had planned. That's because he has been negotiating with Cary Grant about playing the lead in h is next picture, "Guns of Navarone."<br/><br/>Carl brought both the book and script to Cary to read, and hopes to get the valuable Grant name on a deal before he joins his wife, who is vacationing in Italy.<br/><br/>__________________________ Chicago Sun-Times, Thursday, June 15, 1961, p. 52, c. 1:<br/><br/>KUP'S COLUMN<br/><br/>The Massive Power Failure that blacked out new York the other day almost caused producer Carl Forman and three top Manhattan movie critics, to black out, too. Foreman was screening his movie, "Guns of Navarone," for the critics. In one of the last scenes of the film, a German officer gives the command to a battery of cannon to fire at the approaching six destroyers in the Navarone channel. The officer gave the command, the cannons boomed–and, presto, everything went black!<br/><br/>_____________________________
