I remember this being one of my dad's favorite movies when I was a little girl. I'm 42yo. Gregory Peck was on of his favorite actors. I love Anthony Quinn myself. The scene when the town folk are dancing in the square, there is a little girl with dark curly hair in it. My dad always said that looked just like me when I was 5 yrs old. He said I was his little Greek goddess and thats why they named me Angela (greek origin).
Unfortunately, this has the least enlightening Directors commentary of any flick I've ever seen. A few performance insights, but mostly it's: "This shot is on location....;this next one is at Pinewood; this is location...; matte shot...; location: day for night....;if I did this now, I'd make this sequence quicker...;all this is done at Pinewood Studios - Ozzy Morris made an outstanding contribution lighting this film...; this is back on Rhodes...; a model..." - or otherwise silence.
Heaven is...Watching this movie on DVD after a huge roast dinner on a cold, wet winters Sunday afternoon, falling asleep halfway through and being woken by your wife to tell you that the kids will be stopping with Gran for another two days.
@celtazeezee Yes. My favorite of his, of any movie, is a simple one called, "Amazing Grace and Chuck." A forgotten film but wonderful. My second is, "The Old Gringo" with Jimmy Smith and Jane Fonda. And my third, "To Kill a Mockingbird." Difficult to watch. My least, "Horatio Hornblower." Supposed to be a kid and a Jumping Over the Shark type. Playing a young man when it was obvious that he wasn't. I dislike seeing them play young when they are pasted it. John Wayne did it too.
This movie was stupid what with them killing 200 Germans for each one of them. Quinn did however did do a good movie with "guns" in the title - "Guns for San Sebastion"
@dancinkindofguy Actually during the time the germans were occupying greece 200 germans were massacred by 16 greek rebels and 4 new zealand soldiers. The Germans thought it was an army shooting at them. Although this is hollywood. something like that did happen in real life
One of my favorite WW2 films. Full of action, adventure and drama. All of them equally distributed. One of my favorite scenes is where they are singing a greek song and the Germans find them. A great moment.

@ApostolosFilms Can you provide a link to that? I'm not saying it didn't happen, but color me skeptical.

A very bad, overlong movie with all the cast far too old for their parts.
