The dozen ex-con commandos trap all of the German officers and their beautiful German and French concubines in the bomb shelter of the castle. Our heroess then screw the tops off of the air vents, pour in gasoline, add a few grenades and voila, Nazi SS flambee (Ebert). Unfortunately, the good bad guys do not get far away from the action. Most of them are picked off before they can get to the get away car which happens to be a stolen German half-track. The film then ends with a scene in which the survivors are shown to be Major Reisman (Lee Marvin), Sergeant Bowren (Richard Jaeckel) and Wladislaw (Charles Bronson). Wladislaw wryly remarks to Major Reisman that killing officers could become a habit after he has a medal put on his chest by a an officer who remarks that they need men like him (ibid.).
Conclusion
To begin with, director Robert Aldrich did not have much hope for the script by Lukas Heller and Nunnally Johnson. Aldrich felt that it was hopelessly old-fashioned. However, he worked his magic and turned the Dirty Dozen into one of MGM's...
U.S. statistics indicate that 80% of aviation accidents are due to human errors with 50% due to maintenance human factor problems. Current human factor management programs have not succeeded to the degree desired. Many industries today use performance excellence frameworks such as the Baldrige National Quality Award framework to improve over-all organizational effectiveness, organizational culture and personal learning and growth. A survey administered to a sample population of senior aviation
Downsizing The Effects of Downsizing A noted scholar recently assessed downsizing as "probably the most pervasive yet understudied phenomenon in the business world" (Cameron, 1994). While we have become numbed by the near daily accounts of new layoffs, a New York Times national survey finding is perhaps more telling: since 1980, a family member in one-third of all U.S. households has been laid off (New York Times, 1996). By some measures, downsizing
Community Nursing Generally, in any Hospital or Health Care Center, the patient would be looked after and taken care of by the Primary Care team, comprised of General Practitioners, Health Visitors, Practice Nurses, Physiotherapists, Podiatrists, Dieticians, and a team of Nurses, of which District Nurses or Community Nurses play a major part. Community Nurses or District Nurses usually work in a partnership with Acute Trusts, Hospices, as well as with Social
spam has a rather innocuous and interesting background. The name comes from the Monty Python comedy sketch in which a group of Vikings in a restaurant start singing "Spam, spam, spam, spam, lovely spam! Wonderful spam!" They annoy the waiter who tells them to shut up. The interpretation of the 'action' rather than the meaning of the word itself refers to a repetitive act that annoys. In terms of
War Films Taking Jeanine Basinger at her word would leave us with far fewer war films than we think we have. Basinger is a 'strict constructionist,' accepting as war films only those that have actual scenes of warfare (Curley and Wetta, 1992. p. 8; Kinney, 2001, p. 21). That means that the four films that will be considered here, and especially the two World War II films, are not war films.
UN Security Council Proliferation of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons to terrorist organizations is inarguably one of the greatest menaces threatening international peace and security today.[footnoteRef:1] Since the turn of the century, this sentiment has grown in strength across the world, and as a countermeasure to this threat, in 2004, the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 1540 to combat the dangerous nexus between the spread of weapons of mass destruction
