I have very fond memories of seeing this movie with my dad. I was only 10 or 11 and didn't know English. He would whisper in my ear to keep me informed, this in a packed theater btw. We saw several more war movies together. To this day, I always think of him. Miss him dearly.
In 1963 I saw this movie at the Normal theater in Chicago. Best double feature matinee I ever went to. The Guns of Navarone and the Magnificent Seven. My mother called the theater when I wasn't home by six. Both movies were very long and had excessive talking but were still great. I suggest everyone who liked this movie should read the book by Alistair McClain, it is a fantastic read.
The explosive expert is thinking outside the box. He knows that the mission will fail if he places the explosives on the guns as the German will be able to find them and disable them. So he places them inside the ammunition storage area and has the wire attached to the elevator shaft. When the elevator touches the wire, it will create an electric charge which will trigger the hidden explosives in the ammunition storage resulting a huge explosion. To prevent the Germans from finding the explosive in the ammunition storage, he places a number of dummy explosives around the guns to fool them.
Look at the German translation subtitles for 'The Battle of Britain', absolutely laughable. Hopefully someone will re-do them in a restored version that actually says what the characters are saying.
Also, the Germans never had a PPI radar that stands for plan position indication which is a sweeping antenna that shows up on a scope and gives you a two-dimensional view of what's going on so that you can see where the objects are on a map. Never never have that. In fact, they did not really have a decent high frequency microwave radar
A funny scene before Fritz and the concrete pillbox scene "Wo ist mein cafe?" I doubt Rhodes under occupation had as many motorcycles, tanks, vehicles, and artillery pieces as were seen in this movie. It would be more believable if the rock was Gibraltar.
True Judy from a Gibraltar-like focal point to what looks like an old Crusader Castle of some kind or at least the approach to one. But no complete technical view. Plus a plethora of gorges, cliffs, and cave systems.@@judyhopps9380
I've never read the novel, but in real life whether they're manned by the Kriegsmarine or the Heer is a question of organisation. Naval artillery or shore batteries permanently assigned to a sea defence zone (Seeverteidigung) were operated by the Kriegsmarine. Other shore batteries were operated by the Heer - for example, the Atlantic Wall. Just because they are large-calibre weapons normally found on warships (assuming that's what "naval guns" meant) doesn't mean they're automatically run by the navy. As Daniel4646 observed, big guns like the Leopold, Schwerer Gustav (and, if I may add, the Karl-Gerät) were certainly operated by the Heer. As an aside, the Wehrmacht is the entire German Armed Forces - which would include the Kriegsmarine :). The Army is the Heer.
Love the movie but wish the bad, obviously scale model effects could be replaced with modern day quality fixes. Especially the scene where the guns fall into the ocean; they look like two plastic tubes falling into a bath tub.
@@miker1721 Just saying. It's the technological zeitgeist's fingerprint which gives each movie its own unique atmosphere. I myself prefer to watch my Ray Harryhausen movies just the way they are, for instance - no CGI augmentation necessary.
Two old battleship guns, even directed by radar, would have slim chances of hitting a swarm of small and fast-moving destroyers. A battleship has 8 to 12 main guns and it still needs multiple salvos to straddle one enemy ship. Two guns are just not enough, and they are vulnerable too - a couple of dive bombers could easily take out the radar, and the pillbox is wide open to enemy fire, unlike the ones in Normandy. Such an installation would have been a tremendous waste of resources. This classic "Germans bad" flick is enjoyable as hell when you're 10 but gets increasingly ridiculous as you grow older.
They did not seem to be able to hit anything anyways and with their slow rate of fire and limited view to fire the ships seemed pretty safe. The guns could probably not hit anything within a certain range if the target was close as they looked like they had to be elevated.
Of all "German Bad" flicks, I think this is the most reasonable and realistic out of all of them. After all, the German DID built "Guns of Navarone" in real life: The Adolf Hitler and Dora Cannon built at Normandy.
He makes no mention other than them being 11 inches., this is taken from the intro. The radar operator says two pulses at 7500metres then a few minutes later says entering firing range .we then see the guns travese and elevate which is limited by the cave overhang @@Daniel4646

This film should have won an Academy Award if for no other reason than the musical score. Well done, Dmitri Tiomkin.
Searching for mines with a detector around the railway tracks is priceless 😁
Can’t be too careful. There is a lot of munitions up there, and very expensive guns. The Germans would’ve wanted to be thorough in finding sabotage.
I noticed that. 😅
@huydang5955 The metal tracks would have negated any signal from mines.
@@fearthehoneybadger no, you change the gain of the metal detector to "zero" it out so you don't pick up the tracks.

Always a good film to watch.
I remember seeing the movie in the theater, I still enjoy it all of these years later.
Everytime me and my wife come home from a Greece holiday (Crete) (kafalonia) (Rhodes) we always put this on DVD and have a Greek night 😂😂❤❤
So, watching movies with a bowl of olives instead of popcorn? 😆
Great Movie
@@DenKHK Not olive's 👎 no. We just like to eat lamb kleftico and rice. With uzo.

As an Englishman, I can say this: We made the Germans scared of rats.

Worlds best movie
“Feuer!” (Fire) shouts the commander. And did they get some. 😊
A huge fireball.
If you love the Guns of Navarone (like I do), go see The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. It’s good and like a modern day filmed GON.
Have only heard of that movie so far (too little time to watch it in full as of yet), but I'm looking forward to it!
great movie.
Great Movie
I always wondered about this in a movie I’ve seen many times. Unfortunately I took French in college, not German!
Thanks!
Guess the French girls were much cuter, eh?
Anway, thanks for the thanks! 😊😊
The water splashes are quite small as for such big guns 😉
Blame the special effects guys from that day.
I noticed that, too! I believe the beginning of the movie shows a ship's decks being flooded with water from the shells.
Nice job!
Thanks, pal.
Is "Force 10 from Navrrone" a sequel to "Guns of Navarrone" or was it a different film?
No, Force 10 is a genuine sequel. It's just that the original characters from The Guns (1961) were deemed too old to participate in Force 10 (1979).
Look at the German translation subtitles for 'The Battle of Britain', absolutely laughable. Hopefully someone will re-do them in a restored version that actually says what the characters are saying.
I'll be trying to do that, but I am currently working on Private Ryan, as time permits.
Ich sehe die Filme sehr gerne

Try to tell that to the everday audience of this movie in the pre-Internet days. Or the original novel's author.
"One of your moron motorcycle platoons fell prey to a textbook Bobby and Jimmy fishnet attack in the village."
...Where am I supposed to insert *that* ? 🤣
A funny scene before Fritz and the concrete pillbox scene "Wo ist mein cafe?" I doubt Rhodes under occupation had as many motorcycles, tanks, vehicles, and artillery pieces as were seen in this movie. It would be more believable if the rock was Gibraltar.
@@RangaTurk I like how the small Greek island has every kind of terrain imagine too.

you could have played the few mins left to atleast where they sounded their horns in victory!
Then YT might not have allowed me to post it. (Too much "copyrighted material" and all that!)
@@Daniel4646 ya you are right didn't think about that
The mince over to the radio at 2:28 by private ass Mu:nchar. 😂
In the last scene the Commander clearly gave the command to “Fire” not to “Blow Up”. Those soldiers need to work on their listening skills.
Well, he wanted fire, so he got fire. Just a little more than he actually wanted. 😆
0:20 - they are seeking an explosives under rail using metal detector.
do more from the dirty dozen movies or more
Working on Deadly Dozen. Just didn't have much time to spare lately.
why that landsehr sweep metal detector on metal train track ?
A naturally logical question. Ask the scriptwriter if he's still around.
Germans being thorough as usual. There could be mines on the tracks
@@flitsertheo It doesn't hurt being totally thorough.
@@Daniel4646 Especially if you are looking for mines or other explosives.
Filmin adı nedir?
The Guns of Navarone. (I do not know the Turkish titulation)
what the hell happened at the end?
You mean, what caused the explosion? Simple: A booby trap was set off. To know what I mean, watch the whole movie.
The bomb that was found were just a diversion.
I think, those actors are Germans, they are speaking accent free.
The chance of that is pretty big. I have not had the chance to look up the entire credits list, though.
Suppose it's being picky, but being naval guns they would more likely have been manned by Kriegsmarine personnel rather that Wermacht.
Railway cannons like that - Krupp's Leopold and Schwerer August - were actually in (limited) use on land, and they didn't use naval personnel either.
@@Daniel4646 But many of the German coastal batteries did have Kriegsmarine crews.
@@simongee8928 Blame the slip of facts on the author of the original novel, then.

7500 meters is pretty much point-blank range for guns that size.

Blame the story's original author.
