Good film in which an appeal is made to the help of a group of criminals for a military operation. Although the film is well constructed, it could have been a bit shorter. A decent portion of humor and the action is largely saved until the end. Entertaining characters filled in by a cast with quite a few well-known names.

Taking my father to the cinema for the great classics of the 60s: The magnificent seven, The guns of Navarone, The good the bad and the ugly, Where eagles dare, Thunderball... and that included The dirty dozen as well. Ridiculously long running time, and with several stars among the military who get far too little to do (Ryan, Borgnine, Kennedy, Webber, Meeker), but the scenes with tough prisoners among themselves are still effective, and with Marvin, Bronson, Sutherland and Cassavetes are always right (but if the latter got an Oscar nomination, Savalas would have deserved one too). Still fun entertainment with ragged edges, and the director carefully avoids any form of sentimentality (and also lets eleven of the 12 unwashed die without batting an eyelid). Oh, and by the way, TRINI LOPEZ?!?
