''Five for Hell'' ( it, Cinque per l'inferno, also known as ''Five Into Hell'') is a 1969 Italian " macaroni combat" war film starring John Garko, Margaret Lee and Klaus Kinski. Italian cinema specialist Howard Hughes referred to it as a derivative of ''The Dirty Dozen'' (1967).p. 169 Hughes, Howard ''When Eagles Dared: The Filmgoers' History of World War II'' Bloomsbury Publishing, 30 Jan 2012 Summary Gianni Garko is a fun-loving leader of a bunch of oddball G.I.s whose mission is to steal the German's secret attack plans from a villa behind enemy lines, where they run into a brutal Nazi commander.
