An Army Major who likes to butt heads with his superiors, is being "given" a new assignment, to train 12 men who are either sentenced to death or life imprisonment, to go behind enemy lines raid a chateau that the Germans are using as an R&R center and kill as enemy officers as they can and disrupt the German chain of command. Now he not only has to train them; he has to get them to start acting like a unit. And when a Colonel whom the Major has been having the most trouble with reports to the Generals that his unit is not working out, the Major asks the General to try them out by having them participate in a war game. If they don't succeed they will be sent back to prison to face their sentences.
It is 1944 and the Allied Armies stand ready for a major invasion of Germany from bases in England. As a prelude to D-Day, US Army Intelligence orders a top secret mission where convicted criminals will be offered a pardon in return for parachuting into the Reich on a suicide mission.
This was never really a classic, just an entertaining war/adventure film. All star cast and good action made this one a huge box office hit. It hasnt aged real well, but its still fairly good. It does drag on in the last quarter, which puts a damper on the overall quality of the film. It's not a must see, but if you like the cast, go for it. ***1/2 out of *****, or 7/10.
When I was 10 I went to Romania over the summer (even though I would've rather been in America) right before communism fell. Predictably, there wasn't much variety in the offerings on TV. But sometimes they would show older movies in the evening, probably because those were perceived as having less political impact. This was my exposure to "The Dirty Dozen", and what a fond memory. I'd always wanted to see that movie again, and recently re-watched it in full at age 31.

Although dated, I still have to describe it as a perfect film. That is, the only criticism I could level at this film is that the dialogue seems a bit hokey by today's standards. But that's made up for by excellent character acting (at least from the leads: Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson) with a dignity but also a restraint you rarely if ever see in today's movies. Now let's talk about the movie itself. Lee Marvin plays an American major in WW2 Britain who has to turn 12 felons into a commando unit and lead them to infiltrate a château occupied by Nazi generals, who are to be killed.

When I saw this as a kid, I thought it was an extremely cool war movie. Seeing it as an adult, it's clear that most of the events could never happen in real life, and it's meant more as a fantasy. For instance, Lee Marvin is a rebel, who resents having a straight-laced Colonel poking around his business. So at some point he fires a machine gun in the direction of the Colonel. Of course he would get imprisoned for that, maybe sentenced to death. And he hires prostitutes for the soldiers. Maybe that could happen in real life, but it seems to me both an act of compassion for men who are about to die (who are forced to live a monastic lifestyle even as they sacrifice themselves) as well as an indictment by the filmmaker of the way women are often treated as objects in times of war.

That's the beauty of this movie: the heroes are no angels--yet it never moralistically bashes you in the head with that fact. In particular, Lee Marvin's Major is simultaneously the most heroic and the most brutal/cold-blooded character in the film. He's heroic because he does what he needs to do to discipline his men into commandos, in a manner that's sometimes tough, though never sadistic. His brutality becomes apparent in the climax, possibly one of the most thought-provoking action scenes a WWII movie. We think of the Nazis as monstrous serial killers, but here the Major's mission is to actually murder generals, rather than taking them as POWs. This is an expedient solution, yet it's a war crime, and wouldn't have been done as such either by the Allies or the Nazis. It's relevant to keep in mind that most Nazi generals were not convicted as war criminals, though many probably turned a blind eye to much that was going on.

After a lot of fighting, the Major traps not only the generals, but also the women who were with them, in a bomb shelter, and maniacally pours grenades and gasoline through the vents, to set the château ablaze. He, however, had let the French go (could he not have also released the German women?) I think this scene might be an allegory for the fire-bombing of Dresden. What's so compelling is that, as he keeps taking time to pour more gasoline, more and more of his team keep getting sniped. He does not take on the responsibility of setting off the blaze himself, but delegates that duty to one of his men, who then gets sniped.

All in all: completely exciting and action-packed. Impossible to describe in this brief blurb. Well worth watching! Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson in the same picture. How much more bad-assedness do you need?
U.S. Army Major John Reisman (Lee Marvin) is "asked" by General Worden (Ernest Borgnine) to train a dozen hardcore military prisoners, some of them sentenced to death by hanging, so that they can be led on a dangerous mission, called "Project Amnesty", behind enemy lines. In return for their service, the prisoners will have their sentences commuted ...if they survive. The Dirty Dozen is also a 1965 novel by E.M. "Mick" Nathanson, said to be inspired by the Filthy Thirteen, a real life Demolition Section of the U.S. Army whose job it was to demolish enemy targets behind the lines. The book was adapted for the movie by Nunnally Johnson and Lukas Heller. A sequel, The Dirty Dozen: Next Mission (1985), followed in 1985. They are: (1) Tassos Bravos (Al Mancini), (2) Victor Franko (John Cassavetes), (3) Glenn Gilpin (Ben Carruthers), (4) Robert Jefferson (Jim Brown), (5) Pedro Jiminez (Trini López), (6) Roscoe Lever (Stuart Cooper), (7) Archer Maggott (Telly Savalas). (8) Vernon Pinkley (Donald Sutherland), (9) Samson Posey (Clint Walker), Seth Sawyer (Colin Maitland), (11) Milo Vladik (Tom Busby), and (12) Joseph Wladislaw (Charles Bronson). To parachute into France, infiltrate a guarded French château in Rennes, Brittany, being used by high-ranking German officers as a rest house, kill as many Germans as possible, and destroy the communications tower in an effort to disrupt their chain of command before the Allied invasion on 6 June 1944. It's evident in the movie that Colonel Breed (Robert Ryan) and Major Reisman greatly dislike each other, but no details about their backstory is provided. It's explained in the book that the mutual contempt between them began in Italy. Reisman, an OSS officer, was working undercover with local partisans in Italy and had observed Breed's arrogant and dismissive treatment of the paratroopers under his command. Reisman, dressed as an Italian peasant, had seen Breed order his men out of a small cafe in which some of the troopers had stopped to have a drink. Reisman broke character and called Breed out for the jerk he was in English, telling him that he ought to give his guys a break and let them drink because tomorrow some of them might be dead. The pompous Breed, embarrassed in front of his men, was furious and had Reisman arrested and held until his identity was confirmed. Those were pencil detonators aka timing pencils, basically pens with blasting caps and short-duration timers, settable by turning. Reisman signals to Jefferson that it's time. Jefferson tosses live grenades down the ventilation shafts as quickly as possible, knowing that he has only 20 seconds to join Reisman, Wladislaw, Franco, and Sgt Bowren () in the German half-track before the grenades begin exploding. He almost makes it but is shot and killed by a German soldier. As the grenades start exploding, Reisman heads the half-track out of the courtyard and over a bridge. Sawyer and Lever, who have been serving as lookouts, head for a boat to meet Reisman on the other side of the river but they are shot by Germans and their boat blown up. The half-track makes it across the river, and Franko begins shouting, "We made it!" Suddenly, a German solder steps out from under the bridge and shoots him in the back. The half-track continues its escape, carrying Reisman, Bowren, and Wladislaw, the only one of the dirty dozen to survive, a narrator states: Among the many reports of the raid on the château near Rennes, perhaps the most objective is the one by General Worden in which he states, "We are recommending that those members of the group known as the Dirty Dozen who survived this operation should have their service records amended to indicate that they are returning to duty at their former ranks and that the next of kin of those prisoners who were killed be advised that they lost their lives in the line of duty." In the final scene, Reisman, Wladislaw, and Bowren are recuping at a military hospital. They are visited by Generals Worden and Denton (Robert Webber) to commend them on a job well done. Just before leaving, Denton says to Wladislaw, "Hurry up and get well...we need men like you out there." After Warden and Denton have left the room, Wladislaw says, "Boy oh boy, killing gnerals could get to be a habit with me."
