LOL. My mother introduced us to lots of wonderful movies and music popular during that period. Hollywood still made movies with dialogue, glamorous stars and memorable soundtracks back then.
And plots, too.
They were forced into in by the dearth of special effects...
Indeed Darlin, for me the Guns of Navarone come to mind - with Anthony Quinn and his earth monther wife, Irene Papas. The two of the were a perfect match. But the haunting music that opened the film and played thougout was memorable.
I aways thought it was all filmeed in the Greek islands until a few months ago when I actually saw the caves where they had set up the Guns unsed in that film - I saw them from a boat, just a couple of miles outside Valetta, Malta. That was the location for the shots of the guns used in that movie.
