In this episode of the Cinematic Flashback Podcast, Chuck and co-host Matt Sargent take a look at Kelly’s Heroes (1970), directed by Brian G. Hutton and featuring Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland, and Don Rickles.

Set during World War II, the film follows a group of soldiers as they embark on a risky mission to retrieve a hidden stash of gold behind enemy lines. Chuck and Matt discuss the film’s mix of war drama and comedy, its ensemble cast, and its unique take on the heist genre.
