Short summary

Promotional featurette for the new feature film "The Guns of Navarone".
Actor James Darren narrates this promotional short film advertising the upcoming action movie The Guns of Navarone (1961) which was filmed on the Greek island of Rhodes. The island of Rhodes lies 225 miles off the coast of Greece. It is an ideal location for a film--or a honeymoon! Evy and James had been married 3 weeks when he came to do the picture. Having been promised time off, they visited many attractions on the island. We see the old fortified town, where the harbor is renowned as the location of the famous Colossus of Rhodes statue of antiquity. They also visit the Turkish quarter, and the town of Lindos on the other end of the island. They take a donkey ride to the Acropolis above the town. But from there they can see the boats used in the movie, so it is soon back to work for James.

This behind-the-scenes/making-of featurette is included as an extra on the Columbia TriStar Home Video (aka Sony Pictures Home Entertainment) DVD of The Guns of Navarone (1961).
