Along with The Great Escape, The Dirty Dozen and Where Eagles Dare The Guns of Navarone is one of those 60's war films that regularly pops up on TV, but unlike the others I mentioned I could never recall sitting through the whole film. Well I did tonight when Channel 4 showed it here in the UK, and it was great. I love these "men on a mission" films, this is one of the best with fantastic performances by the stars especially Quinn and Niven. The ending was very similar to a few James Bond films, though I don't know who copied who. If you enjoyed this then try and catch the lesser shown sequel starring Harrison Ford no less. ***7.5/10***
