George discusses the 1978 Guy Hamilton World War 2 adventure film- Force Ten From Navarone based on the novel by Alistair MacLean. This movie has a great cast, a meandering, sort of perfunctory plot, and the characterization and intrigue in the story pale in comparison to its predecessor The Guns of Navarone (1961). However it's an enjoyable little romp shot on location in the former Yugoslavia. The countries 40 year reigning dictator Joseph Broz Tito and his relationship to the film industry is also touched upon with a brief aside to films like The Battle of Neretva (1969). The special effects in the movie- especially the cataclysmic dam explosion- are compared with its contemporary, Superman (1978) from the same year, and Ishiro Honda's work in the Godzilla series.
