Remember this from 1970?

I actually have that soundtrack on vinyl. Movie was scored by the great Lalo Schiffrin, who also did, among many others, Mannix, Mission Impossible, and Dirty Harry.

Mike Curb went on to become the Lt. Governor of California. I know this because Johnny Carson used to make jokes about him.

One track from the Kelly's Heroes score, "Tiger Tank," was used by Tarantino in The Inglorious Basterds. I recognized it instantly when it came up.
 
Remember this movie well, was cool how they had a speaker mounted on their tank, and were the playing Hank Williams JR. song "All for the love of sunshine" as the tank blew the krouts up. :lol:

One of my favorite flicks (and songs). Look at the list of stars!

The cool thing is that most of them weren't stars when it was made. Who'd heard of Carroll O'Connor or Gavin Macleod or even Donald Sutherland in 1970? Eastwood wasn't even that big a star yet.
 
I knew Donald from The Dirty Dozen and not sure if I'd seen an Eastwood movie yet. I was o/s that year so was sort of isolated from a lot of things. I'd like to see this one again.

That's right, he was in Dirty Dozen--and in one of its funniest scenes, too. ("Neeeeever heard of it.") Telly Savalas was in DD, too.

I think by that point Eastwood was mainly known for the spaghetti westerns, although I think he'd done Where Eagles Dare before Kelly's Heroes--I'd have to check.

I never heard of Kelly's Heroes when it was in the theaters--not one word. I discovered it on late-night TV in the mid or late '70s.
