The Guns Of Navarone Full Movie Torrent

Two powerful German guns control the seas past the Greek island of Navarone making the evacuation of endangered British troops on a neighboring island impossible. Air attack is useless so a team of six Allied and Greek soldiers is put ashore to meet up with partisans to try and dynamite the guns. The mission is perilous enough anyway but are the Germans on the island getting further help too?.
A British team is sent to cross occupied Greek territory and destroy the massive German gun emplacement that commands a key sea channel.
Well-made movie, with great performances by Gregory Peck, David Niven, and Anthony Quinn. Although great, I tended to like its sequel ("Force 10 From Navarone") better. Nevertheless, an EXCELLENT movie, a must-see.
...while my favourite anti-war film is the original All Quiet On The Western Front. I don't know enough about either World War 2 or the probable merits of seeing this motion picture in all it's original glory at a big cinema sneeringly recommended by a previous commenter, all I know for sure it's a damn fine film to watch on the TV at home. Which without intending to be snooty I've done many times over the decades; it's just some people actually prefer concentrating on a smaller screen with no one munching popcorn in their ear. An Allied mission comprising of six big strong men sets out to destroy the gargantuan Nazi guns entrenched in the cliffs at Navarone in Greece. This mission is to be by sea, mountain and land and faces many trials and tribulations along the way caused by the Nazis and internal frictions. The moral relativist dilemmas come thick and fast and are what help make this a special war film – at the other end of the decade there was no such moralising in Where Eagles Dare. Examples: whether or not to kill or kill to order; the possibility of using up a man's life to further your own ends or orders; instead of holding doors open for them should men shoot women; how tough it is to make decisions which effect others; why the two not so intelligent working class men were doomed to die and the three intelligent upper class officers destined to survive; what bloody good does any of it do anyway; and surprisingly more. On the evidence presented it's even possible to debate whether the Nazis really did have a shocking taste in undies. My favourite bit is David Niven's dramatic unmasking of the traitor and what he expects from his commanding officer Gregory Peck in resolution – everyone's emotions are expertly played with, including ours. There's (generally) great acting, production and story – the special effects are sometimes a disappointment but aren't a problem as never central to the plot. It's doesn't have to be a true story or totally perfect in all departments, just suspend belief for 150 minutes and it's fantastic entertainment: If War is Hell you probably wouldn't guess it from this film, watch it to decide.

Chicago American, Tuesday, June 17, 1958: LOUELLA O. PARSONS Carl Foreman's visit to Hollywood lengthened to almost a week instead of two days as he had planned. That's because he has been negotiating with Cary Grant about playing the lead in h is next picture, "Guns of Navarone." 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. __________________________ Chicago Sun-Times, Thursday, June 15, 1961, p. 52, c. 1: KUP'S COLUMN 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! _____________________________ a5c7b9f00b
