Kelly's Heroes (1970)
Country: US/YUG
Technical: col/scope 143m
Director: Brian G. Hutton
Cast: Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland
Synopsis:
American soldiers go behind enemy lines to steal some Nazi gold bullion from a smalltown bank.
Review:
Director and star of Where Eagles Dare reunite for this cynical cash-in on the success of that movie (even the credits font is the same), adopting a new levity vis à vis the war movie to be found that same year in Catch 22 and M*A*S*H. It is, however, closer to The Dirty Dozen than the satiric bite of those pictures, a fact demonstrable from the Good, the Bad and the Ugly parody of its climactic stand-off.
