This tongue-in-cheek 1970 variation on <I>The Dirty Dozen</I> looks less fresh than it did in the year of its release, but it still has some enjoyable moments. Clint Eastwood stars along with Donald Sutherland, Harry Dean Stanton, Telly Savalas, Don Rickles, Carroll O'Connor, and Gavin MacLeod in the story of American soldiers who try to steal gold behind enemy lines in World War II. Sutherland's hippie G.I. doesn't have the sardonic and timely appeal he did during the Vietnam War, but the film's irreverence and several of the performances are worth a visit. <I>--Tom Keogh</I> *Viewer Reviews* Stay away from this awful movie. although Eastwood's done a lot of great work in his 40 + years of filmaking, this is one movie to pass up. Donald Sutherland's hippie character is a complete waste, while Carroll O'Conner's character is simply a caricature of an inept army general. Eastwood does his wooden impression of a concerned soldier. Sadly, Savals and Rickles are the best actors in the whole movie. Poor attention to detail throughout: no one gets dirty or has a five o'clock shadow, despite marching through the French countryside for days. Also, after being strafed by an American plane, the soldiers call it the "air force" (which didn't exist until after the war) instread of "air corps." No battle tactics displayed by the German soldiers who die by the score. Not one of them takes any cover or concealment. And were the Germans so deaf, dumb, and blind as to not see the Americans creeping up on them or their tank rumbling through town? The final showdown between the German tank driver and the Americans (Eastwood, Savalas, Sutherland) is a poor joke, modeled on the man-with-no-name shootout scenes. They'd been trying to kill each other for an hour and suddenly they and the German hatch a plot together to blow open the bank's doors. Not even funny or in the least bit interesting. JUST AWFUL!
