Trivia:
For the scene where the commandos scale the near-vertical cliff, the rockface was a painted backdrop laid out on the ground, so the actors were actually climbing over the studio floor and then the image was tilted in camera. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: In the fight scene where Pappadimos is shooting at a German officer, the officer is using a Sten SMG which is British made with the magazine on the left side. German MP_38/40 magazines were located on the bottom. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Prologue Narrator: Greece and the islands of the Aegean Sea have given birth to many myths and legends of war and adventure.

The Guns of Navarone is a classic WWII film. The movie is about a group of Allied soldiers (Gregory Peck, David Niven, Anthony Quinn, Stanley Baker, James Darren, and Anthony Quayle) whose mission is to destroy the Nazis most powerful weapon which is the guns on Navarone. Will they be able to make it without being caught? This movie is great. The acting by Peck, Niven, and Quinn is A+. The special effects were great and they still amazed me. I recommend this movie to all.
