Box Set 2 [DVD] 04339611526 Movies The Guns Of Navarone - Gregory Peck, Anthony Quinn and David Niven are Allied saboteurs assigned an impossible mission: infiltrate an impregnable Nazi-held island and destroy the two enormous long-range field guns that prevent the rescue of 2,000 trapped British soldiers.

Blacklisted screenwriter Carl Foreman was determined to re-establish both his name and credibility after spending most of the 50's working in anonymity.

To accomplish this, he decided to bring Alistair MacLean's best-selling novel, "The Guns Of Navarone," to the screen.

Supported by an all-star cast and produced on a grand scale, the film was an enormous success, receiving seven 1961 Academy Award(R) nominations (including Best Picture) and winning for Best Special Effects.
