GALLIPOLI (Theatrical Release Australia 1981)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.4|5.0 Starsìììì 

Gallipoli—World War I movie—tells the story of two Australian professional runners and how they volunteer for the war effort. Good movie that has a solid storyline with very fine acting. Watch for a young Mel Gibson as one of the lead actors.
