a5c7b9f00b A British team is sent to cross occupied Greek territory and destroy the massive German gun emplacement that commands a key sea channel.
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?.
Wonderful one of my favourite films. When I saw it on release at a cinema in Birmingham called The Futurist, I was overwhelmed. The action, the photography, the sets and the music by Tiomkin! Even after 40 years, the theme is still in my head. I own it on DVD in widescreen, but how I wish I could see it one more time in the cinema, I'm 62 and I don't suppose I will ever get the chance. Will have to do with the DVD, still it's in widescreen and surround sound. I think that the film won an award for the sound, but I can't remember now, but the sound of the attacking steaksthey came from the back of the cinema and that of the guns firing. The shells really did sound like "the sound of an express train", to misquote Maclean. On Maclean I did find it disappointing to find that the scrip had been changed from a Greek male traitor to that of a Greek female one. Probably because the producers wanted a love interest in the film, because in the book there wasn't one. It was all male action and I think the film would not have suffered if the Greek women characters had been dropped. Navarone is being shown on TV in England this afternoon, but I wont bother, I got the DVD in 70mm and surround sound and that will do for me.
This film is a must see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br/><br/>There are many famous actors, like Gregory Peck, David Niven, Anthony Quinn, Anthony Quayle and Sir Stanley Baker. It is a very touching story. A bit slow getting started, but plenty of shooting and very tensing towards the end when all the dynamites are being found and destroyed.

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/>_____________________________
