Kelly`s Heroes review

I think that Kelly`s Heroes is one of the best war movies ever made. The all star cast meshes very well and the storyline with the bank heist in the latter days of World War II is a nice change of pace from the usual war movie storylines. I highly recommend Kelly`s Heroes to everyone, especially if they`re big Clint Eastwood and/or war movies fans.

One of my All Tine Favorites, Hands Down....

I watched this as a kid when it first hit the big screen and loved it! This film has more up and comming stars than any other movie or film I can think of. Telly Savalas, who later to become the tough-guy detective with the slogan "who love ya baby" and then there's Carol O'Conner, who went on to play Archie in the hit TV series "All in the Fanily. Of course there's also Clint Eastwood, Alias-Dirty Harry (Do You Feel Lucky Punk? -Well Do You?) And there's also the talented Donald Sutherland, a major star from the M*A*SH TV series; as well as my all-time favorite Stand-Up Comedian, Don Rickels, who plays a card shark. Also stars the captain of the "Love Boat" Gavin MacLeod. This is a great action type war spoof that is so funny, and very exciting and entertaining! If you are a fan of the TV series "Hogan's Heroes" you will love this full length film version based on similiar premises-we beat the Germans!!!~USA-USA-USA!!!!

Clint Eastwood at his best!

Clint Eastwood before the Dirty Harry days. This was filmed in 1970 and was all about WWII. I am not a "war" movie person. But this is a great movie. Soldiers fighting a war and putting together a plan to go beyond enemy lines to better themselves...an all around good movie. Telly Savalas is also great in this comical feature.

Kelly's Heroes

It is a funny movie about World War II. I enjoyed the characters, especially oddball, played by Donald Sutherland. Clint Eastwood is always good.

My reason for buying the movie had nothing to do with the movie itself, but rather the uniforms used in the movie. The shoulder patches on the American soldiers indicated they were from the 35th infantry Division. This was the same Division in which my deceased father and uncle served in World War II. My uncle landed in Normany and went all thru Europe, ending up in Germany. The movie helps to stay connected.

Long movie but EXCELLENT watch

This is a great movie putting a lighter side on all the WWII movies that came out after the war through the 60's. This is a not so serious view of a group of renegades with one thing on thier mind - liberating gold 40 miles behind enemy lines.
Kelly (Clint Eastwood) pulls favors from all the guys who were under his command at one time assembling a crazy cast of characters who are bound and determined to push through the german fronts to get to a town where the gold is being housed.
With Donald Sutherland playing "Odd-ball", Telly Savalas playing "Big Joe", Don Rickles playing "crap game" and a bunch of other guys you know, this movie will never fail to entertain if you are into those "movies for guys who like movies" mentality.
It is a long one with an intermission cut from where the original picture needed projector reels changed.
My dad told me he watched this movie during the Vietnam era while stationed on a in between in Germany. He said all the guys loved it there and I can see why still to this day.
