KELLY'S ANTI-HEROES



Starting work on a piece on KELLY'S HEROES, which I am writing for the debut issue of a new UK magazine to be called CINEMA OF THE 70s, the debut issue of which is slated to be published around September of this year. Will share more details as they become available. Looking forward to writing about this classic 1970 war adventure/caper film, set during World War 2 in Europe but much more reflective in its ideals with the Vietnam War, which was then still raging and very much at the forefront of the public's consciousness. Donald Sutherland's brilliantly-realized Oddball character, and the beautiful theme song by Mike Curb Congregation, further help plant the movie firmly within the late-60s counterculture zeitgeist.
