From 1965, an unusual film and NOT work or child friendly:

Good movie. And the Hill was a bastard.

Great movie

Great film saw it not many months ago. He was already a star having been in 3 Bond movies prior to The Hill, but wanted something very different from Bond.

Also I would add The Offence as one of his better dramatic performances.

I hadn't seen this movie before so thanks for the link. I missed some of the finer points of the storyline due to some of the heavy accents and rapid fire exchanges (I'd like to watch it again sometime with a format that supported Closed Captioning), but even so it was a powerful movie with some good acting, involving incompetent leadership from key officers and an NCO corps willing to exploit the weakness of their officer's leadership to maintain their power structure. It was also a movie that was bold enough to delve into subjects not often discussed in movies of that era, although I can think of a couple. Certainly not your typical WW II era movie.

A little bit of the The Bridge Over the River Kwai with some Cool Hand Luke touches thrown in. It struck me as having an anti-war anti-military sentiment.

I don't know where the movie was filmed but I was sweating and out of breath just watching the men march "the hill" in desert heat and I have to believe that it was an extremely physically demanding movie for the cast to film.

It was filmed in Andalucia, Spain.

Temperatures were reportedly routinely over 115 degrees during filming.
