I'm in full agreement.

Rating: 10/10 (5 December 1999)

There's not too much to add to the other precise comments here, except that this is actually a rather long movie but you won't notice (unlike today's poky pictures). With the possible exception of Schifrin's and Southerland's anachronistic (though excellent) work, much of what the film portrays is NOT beyond what I've read of the lunacy that can occur in war. Speaking of war, while this film has a 70s attitude, the battle stuff is strictly 60s TV - plenty of action but nary a drop of blood (sorry Mr. Spielberg). To me, the ultimate guy's movie is not The Godfather or Caddyshack, it is, quite handily, Kelly's Heroes (with 3 Amigos virtually a tie).
