WHERE EAGLES DARE (1968) - ♦♦♦

Directed by - Brian G. Hutton

Written by - Alistair MacLean

Starring - Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood, Mary Ure

 

"This film is nothing more than pure entertainment and fun. Allied soldiers are to rescue an American with plans for D-Day from and impregnable German fortress. With not a hint of realism and a plot that feels more like a videogame than a movie, not to mention English speaking Nazis and a lack of emotional substance, this film will certainly appeal to those who are looking for a testosterone filled two hours without having to worry about cultural context or history lessons."
