Positive waves!

Rating: 9/10 (30 October 2000)

This is a truly humorous film. A drunken German Officer reveals the existence of 16,000 gold bars to a US soldier and the word gets around that it's there for the taking. There's just one problem - the gold is behind German lines and in a bank. So what? Off our guys go to liberate this gold from the Nazis. By the middle of the film, there are a fair number of hangers-on who also want some of this gold. One of them is Oddball, played by Donald Sutherland. His is the funniest part and his character's name is well deserved. Even during some of the definitely non-funny combat scenes, he provides some comic relief. Also starring are Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Don Rickles and Carroll O'Connor. This is one film to buy and keep. Pull it out a couple times a year, pop some corn and enjoy!
