This tongue-in-cheek 1970 variation on The Dirty Dozen looks less fresh than it did in the year of its release, but it still has some enjoyable moments. Clint Eastwood stars along with Donald Sutherland, Harry Dean Stanton, Telly Savalas, Don Rickles, Carroll O'Connor, and Gavin MacLeod in the story of American soldiers who try to steal gold behind enemy lines in World War II. Sutherland's hippie G.I. doesn't have the sardonic and timely appeal he did during the Vietnam War, but the film's irreverence and several of the performances are worth a visit. --Tom Keogh

 Still great after 40 years. February 8, 2010
Phillis Bierman
This is a great movie. The story and the characters are very entertaining, even
if the movie is 40 years old.
And it has something for everyone. Young Clint Eastwood, to look at.
Telly Savalas as the growling Sargent, Donald Sutherland, the free spirited kook and Don Rickles to work all the angles.
Lots of laughs.

If you like war movies this a good one with alot of great actors and some maybe less known, who all play intersting characters with quick answers and nonstop comical witt. The price was decent so i got two copies and they arrived in good shape and play well.
 Got to love it November 22, 2009

If you like war movies with a twist, this is as great as it gets!
Great plot wrong settings November 2, 2009
Chet McNertney (garden grove, ca United States)
First off I'm no movie critic. I like most kids in the 60s and 70s grew up on War movies. As an adult now I bought this on DVD for my War Movie collection. I won't get into the plot as it is mentioned in the above reviews. I won't get into the technical aspects of this movie either. There are a million WWII "experts" out there. They can point out all the flaws in this movie (me inclusive). That said I watched this movie for the story. The acting is good as Telly Savalas, Don Rickles, Don Sutherland and Clint Eastwood are cast. There are many more fine actors who later did TV series. Two things did bother me through the whole movie: Location and the Era. The location was supposed to be Southern France (Nancy). The location seemed more like the Italian Campaign (filmed in Yugoslavia) than France. The extras looked more like Pisanos than "Frogs". There was a certain Mediterranean feel to it almost Spaghetti Western. Maybe Southern France is like that but I did not feel it. The second thing that bothered me was the Era. This would have worked GREAT in a Viet-Nam type setting. This was filmed during that war and the mannerism were there. Also present was the "Pys-Op" speaker on Odd Balls Tank the longer hair. All in all a fun movie to watch and a great "quote movie" thanks to Sutherland.
The 60's Come to WW II October 1, 2009
Andrew M. Kling (Bensalem, PA)
While containing sobering reminders of the costs of war, overall this movie embraces the wistful hopefulness and free-love joy of the time in which it was made. Kelly's Heroes is a war movie of which the most important messages are that anything is possible with enough buddies and friends and, in war, all you really have is those men and those loyalties. Clint Eastwood, in one of his laconic, post-Spaghetti Western best, is the lead actor here, with capable support coming in the form of well-acted character turns from Telly Savalas (Kojak), comedian Don Rickles, and Carroll O'Connor (All In the Family). But the star of this movie, in my humble opinion, is Donald Sutherland, as a tank commander and overall free-spirited adventurer, who steals the movie with irreverence and comedy timing. The plot of the movie is fun and rebellious, a story of an over-used, under-appreciated group of soldiers with a fortune-making opportunity they just can't pass up. All they have to do is accomplish it all behind German lines without anyone knowing it! And while the action comes fast and furious, the cinematography is effective at both pleasing the eye and adding to the scope of the movie. In conclusion, if you're someone looking for a different take on either the typical WW II or heist picture, pick this one up. If over-the-top comedy and firefights are your game, place an order for this movie. Or if you just want to put your cares and worries on hold for two hours, let Amazon send you this movie.
