54. "The Guns of Navarone" (1961)

"I'm the Guns of the Navarone!" World War II Movie Night tackles this 1961 listener pick that some consider alongside such big-budget epics as "The Great Escape" and "Bridge on the River Kwai." A successful novel became a successful movie considered a classic of high-adventure cinema... asides include the moral responsibility of parents to teach their kids to swim, and I finally saw "Dune" (and there's a weird parallel to tonight's movie).  Drop us a line at worldwartwomovienight@gmail.com Check out our Twitter at http://twitter.com/WWIIMovieNight Consider donating at https://www.patreon.com/WorldWarTwoMovieNight
