46. "Kelly's Heroes" (1970)
World War II Movie Night - A podcast by World War II Movie Night - Fridays
Cool, fun, and a sea-change in World War II movies as they entered a new decade, 1970's "Kelly's Heroes" reflects the era's anti-establishment zeitgeist. Clint Eastwood leads an ensemble cast as he and his men race to pull off the biggest gold heist in history, contending with not only Germans behind enemy lines, but their own side's clueless/corrupt higher-ups, and even another unit who wants in on it. Analyze KH on a deep level, or just relax and enjoy Oddball's one-liners; either way works... Asides include monkey movies, Richard Nixon, pop songs in movies, and James Bond in Harlem.
