Grant H @RT95929188 2d One hopes a thrilling story such as this happened during WWII. It’s the classic war film, mixing action, patriotism, suspense and human emotions into a must-see experience. The entire cast are totally believable, with Peck and Niven stand-outs.

After a failed aerial attack, the Allied command decides to send a six-men team disguised as fishermen to Navarone to blow-up the guns. The squad is commanded by Maj. Roy Franklin (Anthony Quayle) and composed by Capt. Keith Mallory (Gregory Peck), who is an experienced mountain climber, and his former partner Col. Andrea Stavros (Anthony Quinn); the explosive expert Cpl. John Anthony Miller (David Niven); the engineer CPO “Butcher” Brown (Stanley Baker); and the Greek assassin Spyros Pappadimos (James Darren), who was born in Navarone. They sail during the night and after an encounter with a German patrol boat and a storm in the sea, they arrive to Navarone and Capt. Mallory needs to climb a cliff face during a heavy rainy night to proceed their mission. Will they succeed in their mission? "The Guns of Navarone" is one of the best war-action films ever made by the cinema industry. The suspenseful plot is engaging from the very beginning, with witty dialogs. The direction of J. Lee Thompson is superb, and the cast is a dream team. The action scenes are impressive even in the present days and after watching this film several times. The viewer does not feel the 2h 38 min running time. My vote is ten.

Actually comedic.
