Mallory and Miller are back. The survivors of Navarone are sent on a mission along with a unit called Force 10, which is led by Colonel Barnsby. But Force 10 has a mission of their own which the boys know nothing about.
I was worried during the first half hour that this wasn't going to be a very good movie, but the personalities of the characters came out after the first couple of scenes. It was in desperate need of them.
Keeping in mind that this is before the young filmmakers coming up in the 70's and 80's had changed the look and pacing of modern American movies, it's a decent war adventure. It's made better than the sum of its parts by a fun cast. The plot is preposterous, but I'm gonna assume it's just as preposterous in the book.
