Review of Where Eagles Dare (1968) by Siddhant S — 21 Aug 2009
A great wartime thriller.A movie based on Allistar Mclean's novel and the jobs half done.Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood are in terrific form as leaders of a mission deep behind enemy lines.The snowy backdrop is perfectly captured.
The action sequences (of which there are many) are brilliantly staged, especially the fight atop the cable car, and the bus chase at the end. Each character is well cast, with Burton, Eastwood, Ure and Hordern giving commanding performances.
Best of all is the little-known Derren Nesbitt who oozes menace and charm as a nasty Nazi soldier.Don't miss this thriller coz it will keep you on the edge of the seat!
