Here's some memories and trivia from the making of "The Dirty Dozen" and "Kelly's Heroes" from cast members George Kennedy, Don Rickles, and Donald Sutherland. For more movie trivia, please subscribe to: take2markTV on RU-vid.
Kelley's Heroes, music by Lalo Schifrin. The opening scene and the scene of the infiltration of the town with the Bank are excellently staged and filmed. Brian G. Hutton did a great job in this, and Where Eagles Dare, another classic war movie.
The best film, just the best film.. As a seven year old,my old man took me to see it at the flix in St.Annes-on-Sea, Lancs, England in the very early 70's and I have seen it several thousand times now and that is not an exaggeration. Over the years I have had it in all the formats an all the variousdevices. When I work from home I have it on in the background. I like, many others can quote the lines and the next lines. Theme track excellent! Just popping it on again now. Burning Bridges. I still have the 33rpm soundtrack lp record. The cast, well, they would cost a fortune today for any film. What a film, what a film.
All great actors, George Kennedy was always great, Don Rickles was a great comedian and a very good actor. And Donald Sutherland, just always so good. I know I’m getting to be an old dude when all of those people I admired or enjoyed watching are leaving. The one that’s really going to be painful is, dare I say it, Clint. The day he leaves will be extremely hard for me. 😢
