There are a few points made about the madness and futility of war if that's what you're looking for. Sutherland's proto-hippie ('Always with them negative waves, Moriarty!') and Carroll O'Connor's manic General Colt are just two performances which live long in the memory, alongside the ever-reliable Eastwood and Savalas. Keep an eye out for a young Harry Dean Stanton, and Len Lesser, who is better known as Uncle Leo in 'Seinfeld'. And of course there is the ensemble cast, which is uniformly excellent. The suspense is well maintained where necessary, such as the scene where the platoon is caught exposed in the middle of a minefield with a truckload of Germans bearing down on them. The comic relief is genuinely funny rather than cheesy, and includes a beautiful scene at the climax of the movie which gently parodies Clint's spaghetti-western days, complete with the strains of cod-Morricone music. The action and battle scenes are well executed, especially that in which Oddball and his Shermans attack a German depot. Enlisting the help of Quartermaster 'Crapgame' (Don Rickles) Sergeant 'Big Joe' (Telly Savalas) and Sherman tank driver 'Oddball' (Donald Sutherland) among others, Kelly and his platoon of ironic 'heroes' are soon on their way to an eventual showdown with the German Tiger tank unit guarding the bank.Īll too often cross-genre pictures can be let down if the balance isn't right, but that's not the case here because each element is as good as it can be. He can't do it alone, of course, but has no trouble in convincing his fellow troops that if they're going to be killed in this war, the reward for them should be worth the risk. When he captures a German officer who just happens to be in possession of a solid gold bar, Clint extracts the necessary information and before you can say 'Three Kings', he's hatched a plan to make it 30 miles beyond enemy lines to nab the $16 million stash. Part war movie, part comedy, part bank-job caper, the different elements combine seamlessly to produce a distinctive and memorable film.Ĭlint Eastwood, in an unusually subdued but nonetheless commanding performance, plays the leader of a platoon of restless GIs in the chaos of post D-Day France. Whilst it would make few people's 'All time top ten' lists, I'm hard pressed to think of a film which is so relentlessly enjoyable as 'Kelly's Heroes'.
