You should all watch it and here's why...Clint Eastwood, Don Rinkles (for his name alone), Donald Sutherland. Telly Savalas and directed by Brian G.Hutton (Where Eagles Dare-also starring Clint).
Kelly (Clint) is mid-interrogation of a German officer and comes across a lead bar in his bag of papers. Now, usually this would be used to weight down the bag in a river so the enemy forces (Yanks) didn't get em, however, on this occasion Kelly spies something odd...it's sparkling. A little scraping later and Kelly and the officer are drinking away merrily so Kelly can find out where there are more of these 'Lead' bars (they're Gold..figured I best spell that out).
So, Kelly finds out that there's rather a lot of Gold bars (around 14,000) in a bank...kinda way, way behind enemy lines (Krauts) and to get there, he's gonna need some help. Cue the battle hardened Master Sergeant "Big Joe" (Telly), the whiney "Crapgame" (Don) and beatnik Sherman Tank Commander "Oddball" (Donald).
You have to see this film to believe it.
Iconic and Cult in the same league as The Italian Job...I'm not sure I could praise this one any higher.
Line of the film- "why don't you knock it off with all those negative waves man?!"
