Review of Where Eagles Dare (1968) by Alison O — 12 Mar 2012
Justifiably one of The Guardian's Top 175 Greatest Films of All-Time, this tale of wartime derring-do grips for its entire 2.5 hrs plus running time. Ageing sauceophile Richard Burton was aided by special effects to perform his stunts, whilst young buck Clink Eastwood carried his out for real as part of a crack team called upon to break into a supposedly inpenetrable fortress.
A war film must-see.
