  • Sadly Donald Sutherland passed away last night.
    So, I thought that I’d compile some of my favourite clips from Kelly’s Heroes and The Dirty Dozen, sit back, drink eat some cheese, drink some wine, catch some rays and enjoy.

      Couldn’t believe my eyes when I first saw it as a teenager in the 70’s. I couldn’t figure out what a hippie was doing in a WW2 movie but Sutherland played it magnificently. It is in my opinion his signature role right up there along with Klute and ordinary people.

    What I really liked about Oddball & his crew was, that despite them being a bunch of crazy, anarchist hippies, they're actually pretty competent at what they do.
    Like when they attack that German train station, they put on their ''game face'' and go to town on those Germans.

    There aren't many movies I can recall with Clint Eastwood of all actors in it, where he's overshadowed. Donald stole the show in Kelly's hero's and then some! The movie would simply not be what it is, nor half as popular, without him.
    The whole idea of a bunch of hippies as a WW2 tank crew is completely outrageous, but somehow it just works, that's thanks I think to Donald just running with it and making the role his own. I for the life of me can't think of any other actor at the time that could have pulled it off anywhere near as well.
    It's without doubt one of my favourite movies of all time, due to Oddball NEVER failing to make me smile every time he appears on screen. Bit of stunning movie fact for you: During filming, Donald contracted spinal meningitis exacerbated by a lack of antibiotics which caused him to go into a life-threatening coma, but he managed to recover and complete filming!!

    There's an important line missing from the segment about Oddball's tank --- I'm paraphrasing, but Oddball says that the last time the tank was overhauled, they somehow managed to put the transmission in *backwards* (huh???), meaning they only had one forward gear (which should have been reverse) but had, correspondingly, *six* gears in *reverse* :))! That's the full explanation for Oddball's subsequent line about "we like to think this allows us to get *out* of trouble a Hell of a lot faster than we got *in* to it"! Makes sense to me LOL!

I will always think of him as this character along with many others he did. I loved him in "The eye of the needle" where he played an Irish spy who hated the english in world war two. Plus, it has Jenny Agutter in it, which isn't a bad thing.

    From David A. Wood: The 1970 War Movies "Kelly's Heroes" and "MASH" were indeed, to me anyway, the two quintessential Donald Sutherland movies. In "Kelly's Heroes," at first glance Sutherland's obviously flaky, World War Two US Army Tank Commander Oddball seems to be the epitome of a "100% F**kup," yet when it crucially comes down to cases Oddball, along with his faithful, and also seemingly more levelheaded, Sherman Tank driver/mechanic Moriarity (Deservedly Celebrated Character Actor Gavin MacLeod) and the rest of his men, is, paradoxically speaking, an amazingly competent and steady-minded leader of soldiers whenever he is suddenly thrust into a undesirable combat situation. Hell, if my humble opinion does not suffice as proof, just ask the sizable German Army detachment that were surprisingly met by Oddball, Moriarity, and the rest of Oddball's tankers at the French Railroad Station in "Kelly's Heroes." Oh yeah! That's right, you can't ask the German soldiers that Oddball surprised at said Railroad Station about Oddball's intentionally hidden, soldierly competence, or anything else at all for that matter, because Oddball skillfully directed his astonishingly aggressive tankers to kill "the living s**t" out all of them while they (Oddball's guys) afterwards heroically rode through the immensely devastated remnants of the once German-held railroad station in their modified M-4 Sherman tanks to the grimly sardonic music of the historical Americana Work Song, "I've Been Working on the Railroad" as the rustic song was casually blasted away from the three Sherman tanks' attached loudspeakers! As for Sutherland's other seminal 1970 War Movie, "MASH," Korean War Combat Surgeon "Hawkeye" Pierce is a moderately eccentric and humorously droll man, definitely unlike the later Alan Alda TV version of "Hawkeye" Pierce who was more theatrically "Over the Top" in the Humor and occasional Drama Departments, who is so personally unruffled by what is going around him that he, in his personally subdued way, cannot ever be bothered to take anything at all seriously, especially those entirely bothersome, wartime US Army regulations that he, like everyone else in the US Army, is expected to reflexively obey without question. Yet, in spite of those seemingly impassable and normally intolerable faults Sutherland's Hawkeye, along with his two fun-loving BFFs/fellow MASH surgeons, the emotionally congenial and effusively talkative Southerner Duke Forrest (Tom Skerritt) and the more flamboyantly humorous and verbally loquacious "Trapper John" McIntyre (Elliot Gould), is so totally competent at his job of being a MASH Surgeon that he was appointed as the Head Surgeon for his MASH outfit by his commanding officer, Lt. Colonel Henry Blake! These two movies, which were two of my favorites as an intellectually eager child who was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio and still are two of my favorites as I am currently a middle-aged adult quietly residing in Kettering, Ohio, introduced me to the socially engaging and cinematically wondrous Canadian-born actor from Halifax, Nova Scotia and I must proudly exclaim that I am personally grateful for having had the blessed experience of watching the charismatic Donald Sutherland in action while he was in his many movies! RIP, Mr. Sutherland! Nuff Said and Peace Out from Kettering, Ohio, everybody. ☮️ 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 😃 👋 ✌️ 👍

      He was fantastic in MASH, I also recall him being in another film with Michael Caine, and his Irish Accent was, especially at the time rather good

    One of the greatest WWII movies. Oddball was outrageous and Don Rickles hilarious. Clint Eastwood and Telly Savalas just plain great. “ my favorite line, “make a deal” !!

    I thought it was a stroke of genius making his Oddball character sound like a 60's hippie in the middle of WW2. Such a great actor. RIP Donald.

    The first movies I saw in cinema were 'Viva la revolution' and 'Kelly's Heroes' , I'm not sure which one was first. But I remember Kelly's Heroes best. Great movie, great actors. And Donald remained one of my favorites.
