Tidbits The first Navarone novel ("Guns of Navarone") was made into a highly successful movie in 1961 starring Gregory Peck, David Niven and Anthony Quinn. That movie walked away with high accolades. Examples: Academy Awards (1 win, 6 nominations) Golden Globe (2 wins), BAFTA (1 win) and DGA Award (1 nomination) In this perspective, Force Ten is more than a mere disappointment. It had much going for it: highly talented stars and a director with four Bonds under his belt (Guy Hamilton). Unfortunately the result speaks for itself.
