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

- Remastered ClassicThe reissued DVD version of THE GUNS OF NAVARONE is a great improvement over my tired old VHS copy. Not only is the film in widescreen presentation, the color and sound is superior to the tape version.
As with most Alistair MacLean inspired movies we find a story with a handful of commandos, plan gone awry with double agents in their midst, battling a large contingent of the Wehrmacht. One wonders what the Germans were doing with all that substantial air power, armor, and artillery ... Read More

- An Average WWII MovieThis is a pretty good film overall, but Peck doesn't seem to have his heart in it most of the time. I honestly prefer Force 10 from Navarone much more than this film.

- Reeeeeally bad transfer!Great movie. AWFUL TRANSFER! The sound quality is pretty good but the picture quality is deplorable. The colors and shading actually pulse! Some scenes are obviously un-restored and are full of visual noise/artifacts. Worse still is that this wasn't a schlock transfer from "Bob's VHS to DVD and Storm Door Company". Noooooo. This was a vaunted Superbit transfer carried out by Sony. This ripping yarn deserved much, MUCH better treatment. The clarity is not there and at the least, the images ... Read More

- British Fiction"The Guns of Navarone" is tied in first place with "Where Eagles Dare" as the worst war movie ever produced and it is no coincidence that the same author, Alistair MacLean, wrote both books of the same titles from which the scripts for these films were taken. The only similarity with actual history and "Navarone" is the failed operation of British forces to take, occupy and retain the Aegean islands, known as the Dodecanese, west of Turkey. Churchill wanted these islands taken in order to bring Turkey ... Read More

- 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.
