I honestly consider this one of the best films ever made! It's an hilarious and light-hearted movie, which at the same time has a sense of seriousness in it. It has spot on casting and very realistic characters. It is also extremely authentic. In many WW2 movies everything looks to modern or uniforms and vehicles are all wrong, not in this movie! Everything looks the way its supposed to, and we finally have a film very the Germans actually speak German.
The story is simple, a bunch of battered out and pi**ed of US soldiers in France, learns that there are 14,000 gold bars in a bank behind enemy lines. When they get three days of leave, and all they're commanding officers are gone. they decide to steal the gold, "It's the perfect crime". Kelly (Clint Eastwood)cooks up an ingenious plan how to get were the army hasn't managed to get, and with the help of Oddball (Donald Sutherland) and his three tanks driven by an early age hippies, the race for the gold begins.
It's is a funny, realistic and charming piece of film, and it also manage to show the serious side of the war from time to time, without it being to grim. This film is on my top 10 film list, and I advice you all to see this wonderful MUST SEE movie.
