Episode 73: The Battle of Algiers + Battle of the Commandos
War is hell. Vive le revolution! Conflict is on the menu this week as Nick Langdon drops by to discuss The Battle of Algiers (1966), directed by Gillo Pontecorvo, and Battle of the Commandos (1969), directed by Umberto Lenzi. A legendary treatise on how to both wage a guerilla resistance and combat one, plus an object lesson in how NOT to conduct a commando mission - even if you are Jack Palance with a shonky Scottish accent!
The Battle of Algiers has an unusual narrative structure which is not really spoilable and it's hard to imagine how we could spoil Battle of the Commandos more than it already is. So, we won't be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for either film this week.
