Long movie but EXCELLENT watch

This is a great movie putting a lighter side on all the WWII movies that came out after the war through the 60's. This is a not so serious view of a group of renegades with one thing on thier mind - liberating gold 40 miles behind enemy lines.
Kelly (Clint Eastwood) pulls favors from all the guys who were under his command at one time assembling a crazy cast of characters who are bound and determined to push through the german fronts to get to a town where the gold is being housed.
With Donald Sutherland playing "Odd-ball", Telly Savalas playing "Big Joe", Don Rickles playing "crap game" and a bunch of other guys you know, this movie will never fail to entertain if you are into those "movies for guys who like movies" mentality.
It is a long one with an intermission cut from where the original picture needed projector reels changed.
My dad told me he watched this movie during the Vietnam era while stationed on a in between in Germany. He said all the guys loved it there and I can see why still to this day.
