MikeyD Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 One interesting thing about that film is it came out in 1969, just before Hollywood changed radically. So its part old-school pot-boiler and part anti-hero film. The worst Hollywood war movie ever made, Battle Of The Bulge, was four years earlier. The next year, 1970 would see Patton, MASH, and Tora Tora Tora. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too.....And it's just so much more realistic than 'Bridge at Remagen'. Still.....Could be worse, could be 'Battle Of The Bulge'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Kelly's Heroes was great fun. I used to know the writer, Troy Kennedy Martin in the UK. I recall he was po'd at what Hollywood had done as he had written it as an anti-war film and he felt it glorified war. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 TBH I've always viewed it as a very late period Spaghetti Western. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
