Feet planted squarely in the War As Entertainment camp also occupied by The Great Escape and The Dirty Dozen, Kelly's Heroes sees Clint Eastwood's Lieutenant Kelly push aside the pesky business of fighting World War Two and setting out on a small "private enterprise operation" - - trying to nick $16 million in Nazi gold.
DVD Extras:
Trailer. Clint imports his amoral persona direct from his Spaghetti Westerns. He radiates laid-back cool amid a fantastic cast (including Telly Savalas' Big Joe and Donald Sutherland's hippie tank commander, Oddball) in a marvellously screwy caper penned by Italian Job scripter Troy Kennedy-Martin. And the climactic, Sergio Leone-aping scene, in which Kelly persuades a German tank crew to join in the fun, is leftfield genius.
