Two powerful German guns control the seas past the Greek island of Navarone making the evacuation of endangered British troops on a neighboring island impossible.

IMDB User Comments
 
Gregory Peck and Zorba The Greek dodge bullets and bombs to beat up all the bad guys.....SPOILERS
THE GUNS OF NAVARRONE was a great war movie....however, it became awkward when they had the singing scene with Bobby Darrin. However, we had the scene of Peck's long ardous climb up the side of a massive cliff and he yet has the energy to beat up a couple of Krauts.....what a action hero! If that had been me I would have been pooped a half a foot off of the ground. Then there's the thrilling battle sequences and lots of daring do....then we have the scene where the good guys have to strip the girl to learn she's a traitor (a odd technique to say the least). Don't judge this movie on my post alone....see it with someone you love and if no one loves you see it with a bunch of guys in dark sun glasses.
