The action movie to beat all action movies about the 2nd World War. Gregory Peck plays Mallory, the mountaineer, who had earlier climbed Mount Everest in the movie. Anthony Quinn and David Niven make the movie that much more better.
The Guns of Navarone was followed by "Force 10 from Navarone" but had Harrison Ford, if I am not wrong.
Both the movies were from novels written by Alistair MacLean, and the books are equally good.
But there is nothing to beat watching Gregory Peck, in the rainy night, at the helm of the Fishing Boat, cool and steady, with a hot cup of coffee... a scene for cinematic history.
I must have seen this movie more than 25 times, and at least more than 5-8 times with my Grandfather.
