Movie review for the day (GoN)


Rico says he rewatched (as he has many times, and likely will again) The Guns of Navarone, a splendid war movie starring Gregory Peck, Anthony Quinn, and (yes, it's true) Bobby Darrin as a nice Greek boy. (Irene Papas played his sister; she reminds Rico of his late wife.)
Just like they couldn't find a real Greek actor, they couldn't find real German vehicles, so the Nazis are driving Dodge trucks. They also used American half tracks, armored cars, and tanks, too. The Stukas are models, of course; nobody has a flying Stuka.
