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. ...

Books Healthy Eating Books A follow-up to The Gut Stuff, this is an accessible, easy-to-follow cookbook that offers easy How-tos so you can add fermented food seamlessly into your daily diet for a healthy, happy gut. All recipes have been carefully constructed to include the top three most important elements for a healthy digestive system… variety, fibre & ferments. Think of this book as snacking at the back of a biology lesson, dip in & out, try & read the juicy text bits & make sure you pass along your favourite parts to your classmates. We peer into the wonderful world of food through the magnificent lens of gut health, but we’d like you to add on “your health” at the end of the telescope – this is your toolkit, not a rulebook. This is a practical cookbook with recipes that work with easily accessible ingredients to include the top three most important elements for a healthy digestive system; variety, fibre & ferments – but don’t think this book is all “holier than thou” super salads & sauerkraut (although there is a recipe for that); we’re talking generous food that is familiar, friendly & most importantly “gut-ilicious” – from Mac n Cheese to Jackfruit Tacos, Sourdough Pizzas & Shepherd’s Pie to beautifully generous salads & cheeky Kombucha Mocktails. Google searches for gut health increased by over 400% between 2015 & 2020; with the increased consumption of processed foods, lack of fruit & vegetables in our diets & popularity of low-carbohydrate diets and/or fasting, gut health has been somewhat cast aside & we’re here to bring it BACK. (“ We’re bringing fibre back” * In the style of Justin Timberlake’s “ Sexy Back”*) We include some of our favourite tips too! Cupboards full of spices & don’t know which spice girls to put in the band? The Gut-Loving Cookbook contains a handy guide to get them singing harmoniously together. Comprehensive shopping lists ensure your fridge & freezer are going to have serious glow ups. Speed-dating profiles on different types of ferments mean that you won’t get confused with pickles (like we did!) & so much more. Chapters include Breakfasts, Easy Lunches, Simple Dinners, Drinks & Snacks & Ferments.
