Named by the American Film Institute among the art form’s greatest thrills, THE GUNS OF NAVARONE (1961) is perhaps the quintessential “men on a mission” genre film and among the best of its kind, brought to the screen with explosive charisma by an all-star cast that includes AFI Life Achievement Award honoree Gregory Peck, David Niven, Anthony Quinn, Stanley Baker, Anthony Quayle, Irene Papas, Gia Scala and James Darren. In addition to being named one of the greatest legends of the silver screen, Peck also helped illuminate AFI’s mission at the time of its inception as its Founding Chairman.
