Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film was originally to have been made in 1967, with Gregory Peck, Anthony Quinn and David Niven reprising their roles from The Guns of Navarone (1961). However by the time the film was eventually made it was decided they were all too old for the sequel. They were even considered too old by some critics in the original film.
- GoofsDuring the film, and especially the mission to infiltrate the German supply dump, none of the commandos, including Major Mallory can understand German. This is especially clear when Leskovar insists he must accompany the team to the dump as only he speaks German and, later, when the team is discussing Leskovar's encounter with the German Sergeant in the train car. All of this ignores the fact that this film is a sequel to "The Guns of Navarone" in which Mallory is specifically chosen for the mission because he speaks "German like a German." Alistair MacLean's original stories also support this fact.
- Quotes
Barnsby: Now, look. Our experts have been studying that bridge for weeks, and they say it'll blow. I don't know where you learned your job, but I'm talking about the best construction engineers in the business!
Miller: Yes. Well, they're probably experts at building things, whereas I'm an expert at blowing them up, and you can take it from me that one would need a good eight hours to make a decent job on that bridge.
- Crazy creditsOpening credits prologue: SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND 1943
- Alternate versionsThe original release ran 118 minutes. A restored 126 minute version, has additional footage; however, a few short scenes have been removed; a few scenes have been re-edited into different portions of the film; some dialog was removed; some dialog was redubbed. Among the additions are:
- An introduction hosted by a man with a British accent
- A scene where Schroeder thanks Bauer for daily reports before entering his bedroom.
- ConnectionsEdited from The Guns of Navarone (1961)
It's worth a watch on a rainy afternoon and whilst it lacks the depth and heart of the classic war movies of the 50s and 60s, it's got enough action and energy to keep your attention. Not as bad as many here make out but not up there with the best either.
