DVD Talk Ultimate Edition
I have only seen the film in its entirety once years ago on tv. I liked it then and felt it sure seemed like it must have been the 'original' lively cast of colorful charecters having to band together type of films. Since there are too many films since then to list that follow a similar formula.
Then again some could say The Great Escape was as well. But I saw more DD charecterizations in later films than The Great Escape.

It looks to be another fine 2 Disc Special Edition DVD by WB. I'm curious to see the 1985 sequel included on the DVD.
Nice job WB!

I really wish they would consider using more of the original poster art for these special editions:
But I'll be double-dipping, regardless of the giant Lee Marvin staring down the photoshop napalm cloud.
