		Such a possibility occurs with 1961's The Guns of Navarone, but I didn't think it was a problem.
		The Guns of Navarone appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the widescreen image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		I found Guns to remain watchable, and at times it looked fairly good, but the poor colors really hurt it in the long run, as they created a dull appearance that infects every aspect of the movie.

		The guns pose a massive threat to Allied warships patrolling the Aegean Sea and were a stumbling block to the rescue of 2,000 British troops trapped on the island of Kiros.
		Guns of Navarone is 158-minute long, rare for a movie of the 60s but I assure you, you won't realise the time slipping by because you will be caught up in all that white-knuckle excitement beginning with the gunfight at sea and later climbing up that treacherous, slippery steep mountain.
		Guns of Navarone was the first of several Alistair MacLean novels that translated well to the big screen.

		The Guns of Navarone is easily the best of this recent batch, although The Great Escape remains my all-time favorite war picture.
		Next is a nicely assembled and pleasantly discursive making-of documentary, "Memories of Navarone." Lasting a half hour, this includes reminiscences from stars Peck, Quinn and Darrin as well as director J. Lee Thompson.

		The Guns of Navarone, based on the novel by Alistair Maclean, is a big budget, all-star tale in the grand Hollywood tradition.
		Their mission is to destroy a pair of huge guns that are wreaking havoc on shipping and keeping His Majesty's navy from rescuing a couple of thousand soldiers hunkered down on a nearby island.
		Quayle is the group's leader, but on their initial assault of the island, a harrowing climb up a tall and steep cliff, he's badly injured and spends the rest of the movie being dragged around on a stretcher, putting the rest of his colleagues into constant danger.

	DVD Review: Guns of Navarone
		SOUND: "Guns Of Navarone" has the option of listening to the film in Dolby Digital 5.1; although it's not agressive(with the exception of the ending), it does open up the sound a little bit to give a touch more fullness to the music.
		"Memories Of Navarone": This is a retrospective documentary that visits with some of the cast and crew to collect their viewpoints on what it was like to play their specific characters in "The Guns Of Navarone".
		Final Thoughts: I found "Guns Of Navarone" to be a very entertaining film, and Tristar's DVD is definitely not a dissapointment, offering video quality that shows a few signs of age, but nothing distracting.

		But there's a problem - the only approach into the area is protected by a pair of massive German gun emplacements, tucked inside a virtually impregnable mountain fortress on the island of Navarone.
		The destroyers are on their way, and if the guns can't be silenced, the ships will be sunk and the soldiers lost.

		Instead, THE GUNS OF NAVARONE is action/adventure tale that follows a small band of allied soldiers on espionage mission against German stronghold on the island of Navarone.
		THE GUNS OF NAVARONE was given a restoration several years ago, however the restored film elements still display their share of problems.
		THE GUNS OF NAVARONE pretty much maintains what I would imagine to be the 1961 theatrical sound mix, since there doesn’t seem to be any evidence of a sound engineer trying to make this sound like a newer action movie.

		The story is of Navarone, an island in the Aegean Sea near the coast of Turkey that controls a shipping passage through the many islands in the area.
		This little group travel to Navarone, with no great ease it might be added, where they meet up with the local underground, lead by Maria Pappadimos (Irene Papas) and her offsider Anna (Gia Scala).
		The Guns Of Navarone is a great war film that is really starting to show its age badly, and the transfer is not helping that at all.
