The Guns of Navarone. 1961... based on the novel by Alistair MacLean, and directed by J. Lee Thompson, who also gave us Ice Cold In Alex...
Stars Gregory Peck, David Niven and Anthony Quinn, along with Stanley Baker and Anthony Quayle in support... not a bad cast eh:eyebrows:
Although not a true story as such, it was inspired by the Battle of Leros during the Dodecanese Campaign in ww2.

The History of Mr Polly. 1949. Directed by Anthony Pelissier from the HG Welles novelette.
Pelissier wrote the script too.
Stars John Mills as Polly. Findlay Currie steals a few scenes as the evil drunk, Uncle Jim.
They remade it 15 years ago ish with I think Lee Evans in the role. Save your money and time. Get the original https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2b3b323fd2.jpg
The Road To Perdition 2002.
This stars Tom Hanks and Paul Newman in a fairly graphic American crime syndicate drama.
Directed my Sam Menses from the novel by Max Allan Collins.
Quite a slow and at times dreary affair but also very well done.
Cast is superb and also includes Daniel Craig and Jude Law.
