This war was NOT started for your private gratification, and you can be damned sure its not being run for your personal convenience, either!


This week I watched one of my favorite movies,The Dirty Dozen a war film starring Lee Marvin,Robert Ryan,Jim Brown,Donald Sutherland,Telly Savalas,Charles Bronson,Ernest Borgnine and George Kennedy.The film is about 12 prisoners who must go on a secret mission behind German lines. The film involves many of the same people from Flight of the Phoenix. including Borgnine and Kennedy, director Robert Aldrich, composer Frank De Vol and screen writer Lukas Heller.This is also in my top five war films along with The Great Escape,Where Eagles Dare,The Longest Day and Bridge on the River Kwai. Classic Film!!!
