It used to be one of the movies I loved watching on our VCR when I was a kid. And guys, in case you didnt kno...this movie was actually a remake of the Hollywood Blockbuster "The Guns Of Navarone". think about the parallels,you will know it GB.This is a fact. I pray to god that Gregory Peck,Anthony King,David Niven and Anthony Qwale do not turn in their graves. Were YOU aware of this GB? Simply superb GB,astounding.
