A Great Classic WW2 Saboteur/Spy movie starring charismatic Gregory peck.
Wonderful Movies and Memories from my childhood. Guns Of Navarone is excellent classic movie starring Gregory peck,David Niven,Anthony quinn and other stars.I admire this movie for its Charismatic stars and Greece settings. I value the childhood days when I had seen this but Now seeing it in Full HD is better and also you get to know understand things better. For those of you who havent seen it should see it as a Well Classic movie with Amazing men stars. The Nazi occupied Navarone island which is housing Canons to fire it Allied warships is posing a threat. Gregory peck and his men are sent in to use wits,Help from local Greek spies. all of the cast give good performances and the effects are preety decent for those days but even now.sometimes they can be better than ultra realistic CGI. Cinematrography-10/10 Cast/actors-9/10 Bluray quality-9/10 Extra features/documentaries-10/10

... this movie as a schoolboy in the sixties and liked it tremendously
I had seen this movie as a schoolboy in the sixties and liked it tremendously. Gregory Peck, Anthony Quinn and the others were simply marvellous. The film is so gripping as all Alastair Mclean books used to be. I read the book later and liked it a lot. Subsequently, as a grown up too, I have seen the movie several times and I therefore decided to purchase it for my personal collection.

BLURAY QUALITY
This is a review of the USA Version,quality wise which will be the same transfer in the UK. In short, The Guns of Navarone looks marvelous, particularly considering the film's disastrous state prior to its restoration (as covered in the excellent Epic Restoration supplement; see below). Sony's 1080p, 2.35:1-framed image is very strongly detailed in most every scene, from the breathtakingly rough and realistic textures as seen on Greek ruins at film's start all the way through to the slightest nuances on dirty clothes and faces. Intermittent softness and extreme edge halos are present on scattered effects shots, but such eyesores simply can't -- and shouldn't -- distract from the high quality presentation and restoration that is the bulk of the picture. Colors do fall a little flat and lack in terms of subtle shading and range -- notably in the darker scenes -- but brighter outdoor shots yield a spectacular and brilliant palette. Blacks can be a little murky, and day-for-night scenes are easy to spot, though neither prove all that bothersome in context. The sharpness, clarity, and color of the Greek-inspired lettering on the title card is a marvel to behold, and general clarity remains an asset throughout. A good-looking grain structure is retained, enhancing finer details and providing a handsome cinematic texture, rounding out another wonderful vintage release from Sony. The Guns of Navarone blasts onto Blu-ray with a steady DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. Anyone expecting Saving Private Ryan should consider the source. This isn't the world's most dynamic audio track, but it's a quality affair that's brought to life with more vivid clarity and range than any home video presentation of the film before it. The opening music is triumphantly spacious and richly clear; musical surround support here and elsewhere is minimal, but effective. The back channels do pick up a few of the film's more potent and prominent directional and fully-engaged elements as planes and massive shells whiz around the listening area. General ambience, however, remains the duty of the front channels, across which gusty winds, incoming flares, outgoing rounds, and machine gun fire live. Many major effects -- a crashing plane following the title cards, for instance -- lack a dynamic low end or absolute clarity. Nevertheless, dialogue is superbly clear and ever-accurate, flowing always from the center channel. This isn't the finest wartime movie soundtrack, but kudos to Sony for releasing The Guns of Navarone in its best presentation yet.
