Clint Eastwood Movie:

Editorial Review:
Scorned by reviewers when it came out, this concentrated dose of commando death-dealing to legions of Nazi machine-gun fodder has acquired a cult over the years. In 1968 Clint Eastwood was just getting used to the notion that he might be a world-class movie star; Richard Burton, whose image had been shaped equally by classical theater training and his headline-making romance with Elizabeth Taylor, was eager to try on the action ethos Eastwood was already nudging toward caricature. Alistair MacLean's novel The Guns of Navarone had inspired the film that started the '60s vogue for World War II military capers, so he was prevailed on to write the screenplay (his first). The central location, an impregnable Alpine stronghold locked in ice and snow, is surpassing cool, but the plot and action are ultra-mechanical, and the switcheroo gamesmanship of just who is the undercover double (triple?) agent on the mission becomes aggressively silly. --Richard T. Jameson

Where Eagles Dare [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Fun movie!
2009-12-10 - How can you go wrong with Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood. The plot is interesting and keeps you guessing. Photography is wonderful and even though it doesn't have the modern special effects, it is well done. Acting is top-notch. A very enjoyable WWII film.

Showdown in the German Alps - Guns R Us + Women
2009-12-05 - Showdown time. All action AND beautiful women!

For anybody interested in the great guns produced by German designers this has 4 of the best - P 08's, MP 40's, K98k's and UMG's (1200 rounds per minute).

Beautiful German scenery - favorite scene: with Clint and Richard on the BMW!

Fantastic WWII Movie - Highly Recommended
2009-09-19 - "Where Eagles Dare" remains one of my favorite WWII movies even after some 30 years since I first watched it. A truly well made and exciting movie with a great plot, a few twists, a very strong cast (Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood), great action, and fantastic cinematography.

No plot spoilers from me; the story follows a group of Allied commandos on a raid deep in German territory. There are many misfortunes that befall the team as they seek to carry out their critical mission. In addition, the shooting locations and winter scenery adds great realism to the overall story.

This is a very exciting action movie, Highly Recommended!
