Episode 285: The Guns of Navarone (1961)

The Guns of Navarone (1961)Watch the trailer!

Our second War Film moves ahead four years in real time, but focuses on the same time period as the first. This time, it's a hopeless plan to sabotage twin radar-guided guns that are preventing the allies from rescuing some two-thousand men stranded on the island of Keros in the Aegean Sea. But a mountain-climber and his partner, a demolitions expert, a master strategist, a butcher, and a trained killer may just be the team who can pull it off! Directed by J. Lee Thompson and starring Gregory Peck, David Niven, Anthony Quinn, Anthony Quayle, Stanley Baker, James Darren, Irene Papas, and the beautiful and talented Gia Scala, this is a masterful demonstration of how you make an engagin, tense, and riveting espionage film! Plus, the trio give a shout-out to a listener who flagged a hole in their library of reviews thus far, and they reveal which two popular Christmas films they're reviewing this year, regardless of how two of the three feel about them!
