Where Eagles Dare

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Richard Burton heads a group of British commando infiltrators who try to rescue an important source of Allied information recently captured by the Nazis who is being held in a mountaintop castle style prison (not unlike the one in "Grand Illusion"). Clint Eastwood also stars as the only American in this, his first major movie role (although he has little to say). I'd observe that his acting has come a long way since then. The film has terrific action sequences, particularly those involving cable cars. But a helicopter sequnce seems anachronistic. The dialog in stereo is directional and can be enhanced by Dolby Pro Logic II. The laserdisc has a murky looking transfer. "Brod Sored, this is Danny Boy".
