A very clear copy

I found this production very clear and absorbing. It is years since I first saw this movie and it was just an impulse that got me into seeing it on the TV. That caused me to go ahead and purchase this Blu Ray copy. I have found myself watching it more than once. I have enjoyed doing so.

Remains one of the most gripping war films EVER!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 May 2020

Verified Purchase

The film is still being bought and reviewed for the last 60 years by an audience that increases every year, and is available in numerous formats and editions such is its appeal. This review is based on the 2 disc Special Edition which has the remastered film on disc 1, superb picture that was technically so difficult to update but has been completed beautifully with a very good sound track.
I'm minded to say that Columbia have, with foresight, preserved the master of the film for future issue in whatever new system that will be invented that will replace the present DVD / BluRay that we buy and play.

For pure action the film ranks alongside 'Where Eagles Dare' and 'The Wild Geese' which are the perfect examples of war films that are unashamedly 'war films' --- nothing PC here, the Germans are the bad guys even resorting to torture and there isn't a 'good German' in sight to balance racial profiles (did I really say that?). And the most offensive word used in the film is 'bloody', though that was dubbed by Richard Harris to 'ruddy' for showing in some areas of the country ---- PC has always been with us !

The plot is simple : a group of the 'good guys & gals' (Brits, Yanks, Greeks) assemble to knock out some impregnable heavy guns that threaten British troops being evacuated by ship which are within range of the formidable guns. The Germans begin tracking the commando group, because there is a traitor leaking information, and the action is pacey and hot all the way.
Iconic performances from Gregory Peck, David Niven, Anthony Quinn, with equally memorable but lesser roles from the great Stanley Baker, Irene Papas, Gia Scala and James Darren. The whole ensemble always stick in my mind along with the unforgettable plot and chain of events with each actor specific to every scene --- it's one of those films that leaps out of your memory once you start watching.

The beauty of the film is complimented by one of the greatest and moving scores to a film, that composed by Dimitri Tiomkin. Stirring and soothing in turn and as unforgettable as the music from 'The Magnificent Seven'. 'The Big Country', '633 Squadron' to name a few that come to mind.

This Special Edition is available in almost every country in the world in the native language of that country with exactly the same contents. Except this version has English subtitles and language, 2 hours & 30 minutes duration.
There are more extras on disc 2 than extras that come with a Datsun. Enjoy the film for what it is, unashamedly entertaining.

GUNS OF NAV...Sony 2 Disc Special Edition

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 October 2017

Verified Purchase

I was surprised by 263 "reviews" but soon realised Amazon have put all releases, video/DVD/BluRay together, not helping choices. I was also surprised at how few reviews made any mention of the quality. Not everyone needs to of course, but I do find "great/wonderful/bought for my granny" less than helpful. So...This review is for the 2-Disc Special DVD. 2.35 ratio (black bars top and bottom) good, if not quite perfect, transfer, good colour and sound.,plus optional English Subtitles. That's Disc One. Disc 2 has a lot of extras, the music/behind the scenes,/ commentaries etc. But I am not an "extras" person and full details are here on the Amazon website. The film is a roistering "Boy's Own Paper" adventure with, for the time, excellent SFX (tho perhaps viewed today, not so good, but I thought they were splendid), a good script/plot and a strong cast. It is perhaps a bit too long (2 1/2 hours), but it moves along at a fair old pace directed by J. Lee Thompson. It is, I think, still a classic and a must for the star's fans and lovers of good adventure stories.

"...The Value Of Luck..." - The Guns Of Navarone on BLU RAY

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 April 2014

Verified Purchase

2000 allied troops on the fictional island of Kheros in the Aegean Sea will die unless the guns on nearby Navarone can be silenced when six cruisers enter the channel to attempt a rescue in one week's time. But these long-range radar-controlled behemoths (capable of sinking any ship) are atop a 400-foot-high rock precipice that cannot be climbed by man nor beast (so the Germans don't defend the cliff side). After aerial bombing proves unsuccessful/impossible (Richard Harris in his famous 'bloody' or 'ruddy' speech - depending on which version you watch) - as a last ditch attempt a small attack team is organized by British Intelligence head-honcho Jensen (the wonderful James Robertson Justice). Sent in against hopeless odds to do the impossible - Jensen hopes the Gods will favour their mission - they'll strike lucky and sabotage the invincible canons (dialogue above).

This band of pirates and cutthroats consists of Keith Mallory (Gregory Peck), an American Officer with climbing experience known as The Human Fly, Colonel Andrea - a veteran and cunning leader of the Greek resistance (Anthony Quinn) with a bad-blood history between him and Mallory, an English munitions genius Captain Miller (David Niven), Mallory's pal British Officer Franklin (Anthony Quail) and cold-blooded knife and gun-killers Pappadimos and Brown (James Darren and Stanley Baker).

Soon they're all on a battered tug dressed as humble fishermen heading towards the island in daylight to climb the cliffs under cover of darkness. But a German patrol boat pulls up alongside and the motley crew make mincemeat of them. Once on the island of Navarone - they meet up with two resistance fighters - the older Maria and the mute Anna (tortured so badly by the Nazis she can't speak and bears the lashes on her back to prove it). But right from the get-go - things start to go ominously wrong. Officer Franklin breaks his leg on the wet slopes of the climb and will need medical attention (but may tell the Germans what they want to know even if he can't help himself). And someone appears to be giving away their position no matter where they hide or evade trucks of troops looking for them...

The BLU RAY picture Aspect Ratio is defaulted to 1.85:1 so the frame fills the entire screen. But right from the opening - the picture quality is a very mixed bag indeed. Although this is the 'restored' version - the quality fluctuates wildly - so while the film is five stars - the picture quality is somewhere between 3 and 5. The spoken Prologue on Greece looks rubbish - but when the actual credits roll - the frames are immaculate. But then as Peck steps out of a jeep in the darkness to meet Jensen to be debriefed - the grain kicks in. On the boat there - it looks fabulous. During the wedding sequence on the island the picture is gorgeous. But in between those moments is the opposite - awful swarms of fuzzy grain - when they first arrive at the Greek island - during the storm sequence when the boat breaks up. And a lot of the post-production special effects explosions look decidedly hammy and amateur - exposed by the extra definition. In short - don't expect miracles from the print on this one - just enjoy the daring do - and a group of actors who somehow embodied the very spirit of greatness that brought us through the war and into freedom.

The Extras (exclusive to BLU RAY) are comprehensive and pleasing - featuring interviews with Director Carl Foreman and all the principal actors describing their time on the islands - 3 Documentaries and 8 Featurettes. And the card wrap slipcase on the outside of these 'Collectors Series' issues gives them a very classy feel and look.

Audio is English 5.1 (Original Language) DTS-HD Ma, German 5.1, Italian 5.1, Japanese 5.1 and Spanish 5.1. Subtitles are Danish, English, English For The Hard Of Hearing, Finnish, German, Greek, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish

"The Guns Of Navarone" has endured for more than fifty years and like "The Great Escape", "The Battle Of Britain" and "The Bridge On The River Kwai" holds a special place in our hearts still.

In the prologue Jensen says, "Its heroes are not demigods...but ordinary men..."

Perhaps that's why we adore it so...

PS: Although it doesn't say so on anywhere on the outer artwork - this `UK' BLU RAY release is part of the "Sony Collectors Series". Here are the other titles - all of which are numbered on the spine - and come in generic `slipcases' with a blue band on top and a gold stripe set against a white card sleeve:

An oldy but goody

I am 50 and i grew up on a diet of war films, they were always on, now they are like comfort food :). I havnt seen this for 20 years at least, but with an enormous amount of rubbish coming out from filmakers, superhero drek(except for Logan :) ) and reboots/remakes galore, i got the 2 disc version. Extras, commentaries, its an excellent little package and the start of my old films collection. Yeah, old films, get over it :p.

I havnt watched normal tv for 11 years, so i spend my yearly tv license budget on old dvd boxsets and films. Money better spent. Stuff the tv license.

Classic War Movie.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 July 2019

Verified Purchase

A classic war film and a must for any collector of cinematic history.
The cast is first class and the writing and script are good too.
This movie had multiple Oscar nominations in its day and won the Oscar for best special effects. They were great for their day, but now appear dated which isn't surprising given it was made over half a century ago.
The picture transfer is good and clear as is the sound.
The movie has a running time of two and a half hours and, to be honest drag a small amount in places but, overall the story unfolds nicely and will keep you entertained.
A thoroughly entertaining piece of cinematic history.
