The Guns of Navarone (Collector's Edition) description
This rousing, explosive 1961 WWII adventure, based on Alistair MacLean's thrilling novel, turns the war thriller into a deadly caper film. Gregory Peck heads a star-studded cast charged with a near impossible mission: destroy a pair of German guns nestled in a protective cave on the strategic Mediterranean island of Navarone, from where they can control a vital sea passage. As world famous mountain climber turned British army Captain Mallory, Peck leads a guerrilla force composed of the humanistic explosives expert, Miller (David Niven), the ruthless Greek patriot with a grudge, Stavros (Anthony Quinn), veteran special forces soldier Brown (Stanley Baker), and the cool, quiet young marksman Pappadimos (James Darren). This disparate collection of classic types must overcome internal conflicts, enemy attacks, betrayal, and capture to complete their mission. Director J. Lee Thompson sets a driving pace for this exciting (if familiar) military operation, a succession of close calls, pitched battles, and last-minute escapes as our heroes infiltrate the garrisoned town with the help of resistance leader Maria (Irene Papas) and plot their entry into the heavily guarded mountain fort. Carl Foreman's screenplay embraces MacLean's role call of clichés and delivers them with style, creating one of the liveliest mixes of espionage, combat, and good old-fashioned military derring-do put on film. In 1978, the sequel Force 10 from Navarone was released, but MacLean fans will prefer to check out the action-packed thriller Where Eagles Dare. --Sean Axmaker

The Guns of Navarone (Collector's Edition)

ESSENTIAL MOVIE!!! One of the greatest war movies ever made stars Gregory Peck, David Niven & Anthony Quinn. The Germans have two HUGE guns on the island of Navarone in the Mediterranean. These guns are preventing the British from rescuing two thousand British soldiers who are stranded on another nearby island. The only way to knock out the guns is to send in a crack team of commandos. There's only one side of the island that's not well defended; it's a cliff that goes straight a few hundred feet.

Gregory Peck is a mountain climber, highly skilled at the sort of thing the British are asking him to do. David Niven is a British soldier who's an expert with explosives. Anthony Quinn is a Greek resistance fighter well known to the Germans who will assist in leading the team in & contacting the Greek resistance. The problem between Peck & Quinn though is almost insurmountable; Quinn blames Peck for the death of his wife & children & has sworn to kill Peck as soon as the war is over. But Quinn's hatred of Peck is so intense that no one is sure if he'll wait that long. As the film progresses it becomes apparent that there's a traitor in the midst of the unit. On the way to their objective everything that can go wrong does, including having to leave behind the wounded British officer that is the leader of the commando team. The peril with this is that the officer will be taken by the Germans who will interrogate him to get the exact information they need to stop them.

Loosely based on the Alistair MacLean novel of the same name, the movie is excellent. The movie won the Oscar in 1961 for special effects & nominated for a total of seven. This is a two disc set that has a bunch of bonus features including commentary by director J. Lee Thompson, a documentary on "Forging the bGuns of Navarone", 6 featurettes, a message from screenplay writer Carl Foreman & several more items!
