Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A good one!
I hadn't seen this movie in more than 20 years. It was one of my favorites back then. I'm so glad I got it through Amazon. Unfortunately, they only had it on VHS. But I don't mind, this is one of the best movies on nazi war affairs. A rare combination of funny stuff with more serious war related matters. It kind of reminds me of MASH, but much better. Telly Savalas and Roger Moore are great. It definitely brought back good memories from my youth.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - So the 70s was the last great age of movie-making, huh?
Escape to Athena is another nail in the theory that the 70s was a golden age of movie-making.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - DVD available in Region 2 of fun 1970s action movie
Region-free DVD player owners might be interested to learn that a DVD of this fun 1970s actioner is available in Europe.
In this entertaining World War II action movie, two actors, who previously played the character James Bond, Roger Moore and David Niven (who spoofed the part up in the unfunny CASINO ROYALE) team up with previous Bond villain Telly Savalas (Blofeld in the excellent ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE) in an effort to destroy a Nazi missile silo in the Aagean Sea.
Niven ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - One of the Best War Movies Ever (and a Rare One!)
OK, so not everyone has seen this movie in their lives, but this is a rare-see for cable TV viewers. Featuring Telly Savalas from "Kojak", this is one of ITC's best movies ever made -- but whatever happened to the studios after 1992? Don't they have it on DVD yet??
