This rousing, explosive 1961 World War II adventure, based on Alistair Mac Lean's thrilling novel, turns the war thriller into a deadly caper film. Gregory Peck heads a star-studded cast charged with a near impossible mission: destroy a pair of German guns nestled in a protective cave on the strategic Mediterranean island of Navarone, from where they can control a vital sea passage. As world-famous mountain climber turned British army Captain, Mallory (Peck) leads a guerrilla force composed of the humanitarian explosives expert, Miller (David Niven), the ruthless Greek patriot with a grudge, Stavros (Anthony Quinn), veteran special forces soldier Brown (Stanley Baker) & the cool, quiet young marksman Pappadimos (James Darren). This disparate collection of classic types must overcome internal conflicts, enemy attacks, betrayal & capture to complete their mission. Director J. Lee Thompson sets a driving pace for this exciting (if familiar) military operation, a succession of close calls, pitched battles & last-minute escapes as our heroes infiltrate the garrisoned town with the help of resistance leader Maria (Irene Papas) & plot their entry into the heavily guarded mountain fort. Carl Foreman's screenplay embraces Mac Lean's role call of clichs & delivers them with style, creating one of the liveliest mixes of espionage, combat & good old-fashioned military derring-do put on film, while Dimitri Tiomkin's score is as sturdy as the rock of Navarone itself. ...

Product Description

Every child has heard of Guy Fawkes & will most likely have watched a ‘guy’ being burnt on a bonfire & fireworks lighting up the night sky on Bonfire Night. This book answers the questions of history that lie behind the celebrations of 5 November.

Who was Guy Fawkes & how did he come to be below the chamber of the House of Lords in the first hour of 5 November 1605? What desperation drove those involved to plan a horrific massacre of the Protestant royal family & government?

Alan Haynes’s probing analysis offers the clearest, most balanced view yet of often conflicting evidence, as he disentangles the threads of disharmony, intrigue, betrayal, terror & retribution.
