The Guns of Navarone - - The Guns of Navarone review by OL
British Commandos raid a Greek island to destroy a target stopping an evacuation of Allied troops. The star is Gregory Peck with a supporting cast of David Niven, Anthony Quinn, Anthony Quayle, Stanley Baker and an early role for Richard Harris. Walter Gotell in something apart from James Bond and 1940s war films.

Great War Adventure - The Guns of Navarone review by GI
A classic Boy's Own war adventure film full of derring do and plot twists. Made as a big box office film it has an all star cast and an epic story based on a book by Alistair MacLean and typical of the spectacular cinema of the 60s made to draw audiences away from their TV sets. Gregory Peck leads a hand picked team of specialists who have to destroy some huge German guns that dominate a stretch of sea around the Greek Islands and which are preventing the evacuation of thousands of British troops. David Niven is the explosives expert and Anthony Quinn the Greek resistance fighter who has a grudge against Peck's character. The great Stanley Baker and Anthony Quayle have support roles. The Germans are all stereotypical and there's loads of shooting so it's all very typical stuff but a great blockbuster all the same and great fun for a family film. But you have to accept the occasional dodgy effects and model work which was typical of the time and can't compete with modern Cgi.
