A hugely enjoyable example of why Ron Goodwin was so highly thought of by film makers. This piece makes this listener want to throw his hat in the air and cheer! The composer's range knew no restrictions in the telling of stories on film.but he excelled in excitement, that's for sure.
Mallory (Actor Robert Shaw) : But before we can start awarding ourselves Victoria Crosses and Congressional Medals of Honor and so on and so forth and such like... I think I'd better point out that one, we're now on the wrong side of the river. That two, we have no hope whatsoever of rejoining the partisans. That three, this neck of the woods will soon be crawling with very bad-tempered Germans. And that four, I don't think our little genius Sergeant Miller there has even got a box of matches left in his suitcase. And so I think we can take it, gentlemen, that we're going to have a very long walk home.
The film is pretty bad, but once again, the score brings the film to life thanks to Ron Goodwin. Another master tactician who could easily adapt his style of musical thought to any film genre. Ron deserved more work in the 1980's and 1990's. Great man, great film composer. Sadly missed like so many.
@Morgrim I think you've been watching too many Marvel movies. The Guns of Navarone, the first film, is a great film. Force 10 is just a farce. AirplaneII: The Sequel has better comedic timing and acting.
@Morgrim Another Millennial pretending to be a non-millennial. I'm old enough to remember having the displeasure of watching this film in the cinema's when Force 10 came out. Robert Shaw was the only reason I actually went. Plus Ron Goodwin's enjoyable score. The rest of the film is tedious. Force 10 was very much my own annus horribilis.
Great soundtrack.
This film is so cool and underrated.

Totally agree Mark :)
I'm Afraid We are Going for a very long walk Home.....Keith Mallory ( Robert Shaw) 🥰💓
Ron Goodwin really knew how to write action packed memorable scores. My favorite part is 10:41

Gloriously British!
It's in the same spirit as 'The Adventures of Don Juan' and is as memorable.

@Morgrim What a surprise. A decent film. And you would have to go for the inferior sequel.Tells me something.
@Morgrim It's simple. You don't have to comment. Just enjoy the inferior Force 10. Mission accomplished. Over and out.
@Morgrim Oh Lord up above in heaven. This kid needs help. Give him a sense of what a good movie is.
