Movie Moments: The Guns of Navarone

WARNING: This article reveals plot points from the movie The Guns of Navarone. Proceed accordingly.

In the midst of World War II, Gregory Peck has led his ragtag team of misfit soldiers up the side of a seaside cliff and across German-occupied Greece to this point.

Now, just moments from reaching their goal (to sabotage the titular cannons), it is discovered that they have a traitor in their midst: the mute resistance fighter Anna (Gia Scala). They have three choices: leave her behind, take her with them (either of which would jeopardize their mission if she escaped) or kill her. The answer is brutally obvious, but the one who ultimately pulls the trigger is shocking.
