The film has 2 named female characters, namely Maria and Anna. They are resistance fighters who assist a team of commandos in destroying the German guns of Navarone. They stick together but never have a conversation as Anna pretends to be mute for almost the whole movie. Both the characters are strong, though. Especially Maria.

dobbs disagreed with the rating and said:
Anna and Maria communicate non-verbally, and when Anna does speak, she addresses Maria along with the group. Maria "responds". (Trying to avoid spoilers for an old movie!) Co-incidentally, both characters are vital to the plot -- unusually strong roles for 1961.
