The Wild Geese is a superior film, in terms of story, pacing, action, light comedy. The hardest thing to get over is the modern look of the clothes and not of WW2 styling. This is my first film with Gregory Peck, not a fan. Found him to be emotionless, and wooden. Hard to say if the real Pugh was like that or not, but in a film you want to entertain. Roger delightfully playing to his Bond persona, and even darker in some ways as he snaps a spy's neck, and kills a woman. Niven is put in charge of the floating turd they must use to blow up the Nazi ship. The climax is good, along with bits and pieces along the way, but is bogged a bit in the middle. Some funny lines from the German sub discussing the barge. 3/5.
