That is a great movie, Baker seemed to enjoy playing troubled characters I remember seeing him in one movie in which he lost his hand and had to retire from boxing and in order to make money he was temped into a life of crime.

Arther you are correct Baker went to Peck early in the movie 'I've killed a hundred germans and they keep coming theres no end of them'. What I am a little confued with is there was one man in the boat that him and the girl capture. He sneeks up on the man a knifes him but what exactly happens then that Baker ended up getting killed.

Hi Jay

The scene you mentioned is the one I was talking about earlier it is one of my favourites. I always wished John Wayne made a war movie like this because he would have fitted into it nicely just as Clint did with the similar movie 'Where Eagles Dare'.

Stanley Baker is a good solid actor and he does quite well in this movie although he is killed a little too easily at the end. Roland regarding Carl Foreman is that the man whom John Wayne helped get shipped out of the USA(Or at least played some part) after writting the screenplay for High Noon. I dont consider Naverone to be completely anti war but it does deal with some significant issues and on a whole it is an excellent movie.
