Movie Haiku:"The guns" face outward on an impenetrable cliff, blocking an Allied invasion, so an intrepid band of Yanks, Brits & Greek partisans risk their lives to make the world safe for democracy. One of the huge, big-budget epics Hollywood released right before Viet Nam changed our view of war forever.
