Especially Peck wanted to ned down and natural acting in the movie. BTW the director worked with many of the cast before and after Navarone. I guess they got along well.
That's right. I suppose Cape Fear might be his most revered work besides this film. Sadly I've never seen the original, only the Scorsese remake (which I enjoyed very much.) My favourite J. Lee Thompson film is Ice Cold in Alex, which also stars Anthony Quayle (doing an amusing impression of an Afrikaans South African).
I wonder if John Glen was inspired to adopt his 'surprise bird' trademark from this moment with the seagull as Mallory climbs the mountain...
Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

A John Glen moment!

Also, Peck's Atticus Finch was a key performance in terms of cementing the 'upstanding decency' element in his star persona.

Sacrilege, I know, but I've always found Gregory Peck worthy, solid, and... just a bit dull.

I still love the battle-hewn bonding/contrast between Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood, though.
Yes, it has its charm.

Beat you to that, guys.

Holy Perspective, Gymkataman!

That's true.
If my memory serves me, Twelve O'Clock High was another good example of Peck at his best.

I get the German (obviously) but have not a clue about the Greek.
(Elementary, I need a Greek Interpreter- anyone get that?)
Much like "Gott im himmel!" in WWII comics like Commando and Battler Britton.
You find Niven more theatrical than Peck? I'm the opposite.
The first is commonly said, the second not so much.
Achtung! Alarm!
Only when they have their set-piece showdowns, later on... very much like stage acting...
