H FORCE FILM MOVIE
And I must say that it was really nice to see Shaw and Ford in the leads in a movie such as this, and they carried the movie quite well. I had actually been missing out on a good and entertaining World War II movie with "Force 10 from Navarone", shame on me. There is nothing more cringeworthy than watching German soldiers in World War II movies speak English with a thick, fake German-imitated accent. One thing I really liked about the movie was the fact that people were speaking their native and respective languages. The movie also had some good appearances from the likes of Carl Weathers, Michael Byrne and Richard Kiel. So yeah, I was entertained by what writers Alistair MacLean, Robin Chapman and Carl Foreman had managed to put together with Guy Hamilton at the director's chair. The scale was devised in 1805 by the Irish hydrographer Francis Beaufort (later Rear Admiral), a Royal Navy officer, while serving on HMS Woolwich.The scale that carries Beaufort's name had a long and complex evolution from the previous work of others (including Daniel Defoe the century before) to when Beaufort was Hydrographer of the Navy in the 1830s, when it was adopted officially. Turns out that this was actually a good war movie, with a combination of interesting storyline, action and some good old fashioned double-crossing. Especially as I saw that the movie was starring none other than Robert Shaw and Harrison Ford. But I was offered a chance to sit down and watch a remastered version of the 1978 movie, and of course I took the chance and time to do so.
Why? Well, I guess because the title never really caught my fancy, or because it is war movie from 1978. Oddly enough I have never actually gotten around to watching the 1978 war movie "Force 10 from Navarone".
