Just saw “Kelly’s Heroes” the other night. Loved Savalas in that role too.

Also, he was “GuffY” in “The Battle of the Bulge”. Another memorable character. He was ready to fight the Germans with his machine gun, after his turret was blown off.

I always remember my dad saying that movie was bullsh*t - “There was NO sun there at all... I was there, I remember.” He was referring to the sun-drenched tank battle.

A better movie from that time is “Battleground”, from 1949. My old man always commented on that, saying it was pretty damn close to what he remembered of the Ardennes.

I often wonder what he’d think of “Band of Brothers”, were he still alive to have seen it. He was WWII Airborne, after all.
