The Guns of Navarone (DVD)

Very good classic movie...............action packed.

I enjoyed the individual characters a great deal -- especially David Niven and Anthony Quayle (the Major on the team). Pay attention to the moral question posed by the pilots in the beginning, as it seems to me the real issue raised by the story was whether the way to knock out the guns was by suicide mission, or (as was done) by a commando raid -- whether to have the certain sacrifice of one man, and certain accomplishment of the mission, or to attempt it as a commando raid hoping to not loose anyone, and likewise risking failure of the mission. A final note: the last stage of the mission was the most unrealistic: they not a single person left in the whole bunker -- not a single technician or guard to oppose them once inside !
