"Like would you stop with those negative waves"

Rating: 10/10 (12 November 2019)

7.6 isn't a bad average rating...but should be higher considering some of the crap being released in recent years that is rated higher.
This movie very much resembles The Dirty Dozen (a group of misfits on a serious mission during WW2). Which is not a bad thing at all. Nor does the comedy element ruin this serious war/action/comedy/adventure movie. It instead enhances it. The scene with Clint Eastwood (Kelly) and George Savalas (Mulligan) is hilarious. Even Donald Sutherland's beatnik character (Oddball) is a bit out of step with the 1940's, it still works well with this unit of misfits.
There are a couple of bad acting moments from a couple of the lower ranked grunts, but the rest of the cast is 1st class. Telly Savalas, Don Rickles, Carol O'Connor and Clint Eastwood are all in top form. Even many of the supporting cast members went on to have significant acting careers.
Like The Dirty Dozen and The Great Escape, Kelly's Hero's is one of those WW2 movies that can be enjoyed over and over. It's a classic.
