The biggest and maybe the only laugh this movie got when I saw it in the theatre as a 13 year old in 1969 was when Major Smith tells Lt. Schaffer, "In the next 15 minutes we have to create enough confusion to get out of here alive." and Lt. Schaffer tells Major Smith, 'Major, right now you've got me about as confused as I ever hope to be." The entire audience laughed out loud at the response.
wow this film has many funny moments but i think it's when you watch it a 2nd time or another time you can really appreciate it . but that is a perfect point to laugh if I'm Honest Such a great movie
I’m 60 now, and I’ve known about this motion picture since the ‘80s. When it came out, I guess I was four, but never saw this movie on the big screen. Move ahead to around 1998. I was at a friend’s apartment one night, where we we drinking and indulging in a green leafy substance 😊. As we watched the movie on the ENCORE or STARZ Channel, the scene where Burton tells the Gestapo Major about the alleged plot to assassinate Hitler was hilarious when the Wehrmacht general yells “This is preposterous!”. It had us in stitches 😂😂👨🏻🦳🇺🇸.
Derren Nesbitt, playing Major von Hapen, is a classic! His portrayal of arrogance is spot on. Although playing a minor role compared to Eastwood and Burton, he really makes the most of his character.
indeed well said He's brilliant in this his attitude the way he delivers lines his whole essence while he maybe a supporting character he really makes this movie work it wouldn't be the same without him he's fantastic
+Mark Castelletti. Nesbitt is an old hand at playing creeps (see him as the blackmailer of gay men in "Victim" from 1962). This is one of his best roles.
According to Nesbitt, it took six takes to get the shot of Eastwood shooting him, twice. It was supposed to be one in the head and one in the chest - but the first five takes, the squib is his jacket was underwhelming (although each time writing off the jacket). On the sixth shoot (and final tunic), his jacket went off as if he'd been hit by a bazooka and he caught some of the debris in his eyes. Which lead to him then being taken to Denham A&E blindfolded, in SS uniform, with an apparent bullet hole in his head and trailing fake blood on the floor behind him. 😀
I LOVE the commentary! HILARIOUS, & for ALL the RIGHT reasons! You sound like a real Road Man, but eloquent! Please. Keep up.the good work Young Sir. Salute
In an interview, Richard Burton said that he preferred the way his character was portrayed, and that he wanted Eastwood's character to do most of the shooting!
Great review of a great movie. You've put me in the mood to watch it again. So many of ALASTAIR McLEAN books were great films. Fear is the Key, Ice Station Zebra, When Eight Bells Toll, Bear Island. I think he has had more films made from his books than any other author. 👏👏
thanks for watching it's such a great movie that's very rewatchable especially nice in the winter wow I never knew this I'll have to check out some more of these films
I have got this movie DVD of Richard Burton Clint Eastwood Mary Ure Ingrid Pitt Derrin Nesbitt Donald Houston and Anton Differing in Where Eagles Dare I am dedicating this movie DVD to my old school friends who are both sisters as I hope to see them both again very soon to Chris and Hester from Billyxxx
It was such a spectacular film in those days.I cannot delete Where Eagles Dare from my memory though I am aged now. It has its place in my memory.A very rare movie I have come across.
The cheery commentary was spot on. Clint put the squash on Sturmbannführer von Hapen's sugar-plum dreams of Gestapo glory and medals in rather short order.
Mary only about 25 years old in this movie and her machine gun action in the escaping bus was amazing as she was the first actress to use a machine gun in movie history .
Laughed & laughed myself silly listening to your observations. " Get me the water", " Let him finish!", Assassin Schaeffer comes to the rescue...poof poof .....bye Gazpacho or Gestapo. The absolute funniest thing though is when Smith and Assassin Schaefer escape and in the wreck out flies the officer......aaarrrrrrggghhhhh!!!! That is truly the only time I've seen anyone fly out of a window like that in a film. Awesome!!!!!! Smith & Assassin Schaefer kkkkkkkkkkk
Thanks For Watching one of my favourite movies well said it's true I think this could be the best version of some one flying out a car window in a film . This Film is full of humorous moments like this I'm glad there's others like you who really appreciate it
@@JonathanEBoyd I have always loved this film. Burton & Eastwood an inspired duo. It gave Eastwood real cred, since Burton was part of British new wave acting post WW2. Highly respected. Thank you for the laughs. I will listen to it forever. Kkkkkkkkkkk
Hi Jonathan Boyd - That Fantastic WW2 Movie that ever been made was the movie of Where Eagles Dare back in 1968 - But I have been watching it about 53 times yet again to 100 times with my family as well many years ago.
@@JonathanEBoyd Wikipedia: “Stuntman Alf Joint, who had played Capungo-the man who 007 electrocuted in the bathtub in Goldfinger-doubled and was stand-in for Richard Burton, and performed the famous cable car jump sequence, during which he lost three teeth.”
@JonathanEBoyd Can you do an analysis of Inglorious Basterds? I do believe Tarantino lifted that tavern/pub interrogation scene with the Gestapo guy, straight from Eagles dare
It's been a long time since I've seen this movie. I watched it everytime it came on TV. Back then you didn't need cable or a streaming service. I remember every line too. The way Burton speaks, Eastwood's minimal dialog (just the way he likes it) and all the other actors. Just excellent. Great movie. Maybe I can find it on TV somewhere...
This was and is still an amazing movie. It was the movie that brought Clint Eastwood fame in America because he was famous for the spaghetti westerns. Burton’s career was boosted after a slow run.
My favorite movie. Burton and Eastwood ❤️. First time I saw it I screamed out loud when that schloss was shown with that sudden music! I nearly got a heartattack. So did my friends when I screamed. 😂 Thank you for this.
I used to record the audio of the film while its playing from video player on to the TV. I recorded only the audio with a Sony Walkman. Then I play it on the player in my car everyday during my field work involving 100 of miles of driving each day in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman, some time in the late 80s. I was just 26 years old then. English is not my native language. I was not comfortable speaking English. But somehow i had memorized almost 95% of the dialogues of this movie. I kept on seeing the movie many times and I used to enjoy hearing the audio while driving almost every day. Richard Burton was my favorite actor.
wow you're a bigger fan than me that must have been something I love this film it's one of my all time favourites I'm Glad I've found someone who likes it as much as probably even more than me
Great Movie I love this movie from the book of ALISTAIR MCLEAN same author of THE GUNS OF NAVARONE, And FORCE 10 FROM NAVARONE abd all these books and others were filmed, and ALISTAIR MCLEAN speaks with property about WWII because he fought this war he was a Scottish man and served in the ROYAL NAVY of UK, and he is also admired for his incredible capability of writting a book in only one week, a great writter, his books really deserved to become Movies as they did.
According to Derren Nesbitt, he was putting away four bottles of vodka a day at the time, so never sober. And his hair was not cut 'militarily short', like everyone else, at Liz Taylor's demand. 🙂
You messed up and glossed over the best part where the guy in the bed confirms the story that Richard Burton's character is telling, but yet it is all a lie and Burton's character had even conned that guy, Burton is playing a double/triple agent and he has got Eastwood's character so confused.
One of my favourite films of all time, thanks for doing this, certainly highlighted all the right bits! Am visiting the castle at Werfen in September. Suggestion for anotyher film you could do? 'Capricorn One' a conspiracy theory film about a false journey to Mars. Love it to bits, great music and lots of fantastic quotes. 1977 I think?
Thanks for watching and for your kind words My pleasure . I'll have to put this film you suggested on my watch list I'll Definitely check it out at some point
As a teen in the 80s, I watched this movie on VHS rental so many times....I do miss the non-CGI movies...shot on-location. Today, hardly no-one would bother following a story so intricate. Kids have zero attention span....
this is a classic I know what you mean , while the story has a few twists and turns it's not too complex to enjoy . Kids have attention spans for what interests them
I could not agree more. It’s in my top 10 films of all time. I never tire of it. If I were a film director I’d love to remake this film as a tribute and an academic exercise. The main reason for doing so would be to upgrade the cable car scenes and make them look more realistic. But to be honest it would be difficult to find actors today that could do a better job.
'If any of you utters a word I'll kill you all, is that understood?' "Alright mate" Ratatatatat!atat!! Yeah, me and my mates have been quoting this movie since the days of VHS. Glad to see a new generation enjoying it!
@@JonathanEBoyd Think I first saw it in 1979. Loved it ever since. One of my mates was a senior first officer for British Airways in the 90s. Plenty of CVR recordings had "Dammit' or" THIS IS PREPOSTEROUS! " if they got rerouted, assigned a more difficult runway, passengers caught smoking on board etc Happy Days😂🤣
@@JonathanEBoyd One more anecdote for you. Me and another mate took a 2 week road trip around California in the summer of 1993. It didn’t get off to a good start. I forgot my driving licence. Damnit! My mate was under 25 so he couldn’t rent a car. We got tipped off that a dodgy Iranian firm round the back of LAX airport might rent us a car. They did. And they ripped me off with a battered 7 year old Honda CRX with 100,000 miles on the clock, duct tape holding the rear bumper on, no aircon and only one speaker working from the tape deck. What can you do? Long story short we got lost in LA and ended up in Watts, the area where the year before the LAPD had battered Rodney King to a pulp. The last place two young white lads should have been. Two things probably saved our asses. Driving a tatty looking old banger but secondly when we pulled up at some traffic lights, music did. A big car pulled up alongside us. The driver was a huge African American dude and he gestured at my mate to roll down his window. I thought, Oh shit, we’re done, he’s gonna shoot us now and this is turning into a really rotten holiday. “Hey brother, what’ movie’s that music from?” Where Eagles Dare,mate! “Oh yeah! That’s a great movie,you boys have a great day now!” Then he wheelspun away when the lights changed. We got out of dodge alive and went on to have a fantastic holiday- back in the days when you earned the average wage which was enough to get you a house,a new car and amazing holidays. Not bad for a 27 year old without a degree and few qualifications...happy times!
Thanks For the Kind Words Really appreciate it It's one of my all time favourite movies I've watched many times as well my pleasure thanks for watching
First i watched this epic movie in the year 1989 and continue watching this every year not to miss Broadsword calls whenever I feel like I'm You tube. Greatest war movie ever made. Cool Calm Tough Richard Burton.
This was one of the classic movies that couldn't be missed every time it was shown on tv. Afterwards it was used as inspiration for never ending battles with my beloved minifigures scaled 1:72 .
Those are some great bits I did do a bit of the round table in part 1 ruclips.net/video/cavHqijYBJs/видео.html. I couldn’t upload all of it coz the video would probably get taken down by youtube . I’m not uploading much more where eagles dare stuff any more thanks for watching take care ✌️
The only time I litteraly went "Say what" is where Richard Burton needs one the most powerful transmitters in the world to call Italy, when earlier, he tried to call London from an radio in a backpack... I just went 🤦♂️
@@JonathanEBoyd Best quote in the film is when Patrick MacGoohan after a very calm monologue thumps the table and shouts "get me there!". I think the clip's on RUclips....
I've fired an MP44 sub machine gun and you can empty the magazine of 30 rounds in less than 10 seconds! These guys had what's called a Hollywood magazine.....endless rounds! I've also fired the MG42 and that thing is a beast....awesome weapon!
The great Alistair Mclean.read all his novels.epic.tremendous movie,this one.unforgettable.the directio,cast,music.hoo boy.i love the way u enjoyed the movie.sharing is fun.
A complete fantasy, no way could two men hold off and kill so many highly trained soldiers without being killed themselves, or jump between cable cars like Superman. but this is why I've loved Where Eagles Dare since I was a kid. It's just complete escapism and fun, like 007 goes into the Second World War.
I saw this film in Jagadamba,Visakhapatnam as an inaugural movie in1970,a real war adventure movie at the age of 14,folowing with Mecanna's Gold,The Guns of Navaronw,The Dirty Dozen and still remember every scenes!👏👏👏👏👏
you missed one of my favorite lines when Richard Burton was interrupted by the SS guy with the Luger, and he says "...I just uncovered a plot to assassinate the Fuhrer".
Interesting choice many people seem to love that line it never really stood out to me as one of the top lines in this movie maybe i'm wrong But still one of my favourite films of all time thanks for watching
@@JonathanEBoyd hahaha, yes what sticks out to me in that movie is the coolness of Richard Burton, coming up with the lines about "Himmler's brother", and walking down the road in the village at night when he and Eastwood see a checkpoint ahead, and he starts a nonchalant conversation about a girl as a distraction as they pass the guards, and of course, the "I just uncovered a plot to assassinate the Fuhrer". Always quick thinking, so cool and convincing lol
@@scottanthony4511 well said he's just got that overall charisma on que He's calm under pressure and knows how to handle situations just Real classy Such a great movie and brilliantly played by Burton. Just phenomenal
Yo, you had me cracking up. Thanks for your excellent commentary, very observant, but also very funny. I first saw this movie in summer camp as a kid. Always remembered it, the music, everything. Thank you for bringing it back to life for me. I will watch it again now with a new outlook, thanks to your great and funny analysis.
Thanks for watching and for your kind words It's one of my favourite movies of all time . The casting ,music,and plot it's brilliant . Definitely watch it again it's such a classic Take care
Notice at 2:03, Von Hapen is wearing the Close Combat Clasp in gold, one of Nazi Germany's rarest and most prized decorations. (Only about 650 were awarded.) How a Gestapo officer would have qualified for such a medal is, of course, left unexplained.
that's just the way it goes i guess . yes this old classic is a great one , one of my favourites of all time . Thanks for watching and for your comment
Dunno what’s with ppl getting annoyed at your commentary. Maybe the video title makes them expect something else? anyways, I LOVED your commentary. It was like able to watch with a friend! I am finishing the novel right now and can’t wait to watch the movie!!! Have to say I expected Major Smidth to be a bit different. Just because reading the novel I created an image and not knowing richard burton I probably have different reaction. Clint eastwood is fantastic!
Thanks For watching and for your comments . I think people are annoyed with me because they were expecting a pure movie compilation Without any Commentary which isn't possible because RUclips will block it for copyright. Maybe if I had put (commentary) in the title they wouldn't be so annoyed . At the end of the day I'll always annoy some people some will hate it some will like it I did my best & I'm glad I did it. Many have told me about the novel I'll have to read it 1 day .is it long ? where did you find the book is it on amazon ? The movie may not be as in-depth as the book but I think you'll still find it enjoyable it's a good ride . I wish you watched the movie before my video cause I gave away all the best bits but I think it's still will be good fun watching A classic in my eyes Take care
The problem with this film is that it is set during the second world war, although helicopters were first built in 1940, they were not used until after the war was over. The helicopter in this film, was a Korean war era helicopter. These would not have been available when the film was set.
I've always meant to count Lt. Schaefer's kills in this movie. Would you happen to know, Mr. Boyd? My favorite WW2 spy movie. The novel was entertaining as well.
I'm not sure I might Have To go back and count someone did leave it in a comment on one of the videos but I haven't checked myself Indeed one of my favourite movies of all time everyone keeps telling me about the novel I've really got to read it some time If you find out how many kills let us know thanks
dunno if you already have , (i,m new here) but you should do a similar review on "the dirty dozen" if you liked this film , you,ll enjoy it ,and i,d watch your review ;-)

Mary only about 25 years old in this movie and her machine gun action in the escaping bus was amazing as she was the first actress to use a machine gun in movie history .
wow I didn't realize she was so young in this . If it's true about the machine gun that's pretty incredible
@@JonathanEBoyd Not sure about that. Check Virginia McKenna in Carve Her Name With Pride(1958).

One of my favourite films of all time, thanks for doing this, certainly highlighted all the right bits! Am visiting the castle at Werfen in September. Suggestion for anotyher film you could do? 'Capricorn One' a conspiracy theory film about a false journey to Mars. Love it to bits, great music and lots of fantastic quotes. 1977 I think?
Thanks for watching and for your kind words My pleasure . I'll have to put this film you suggested on my watch list I'll Definitely check it out at some point
I was expecting you Mr Boyd..:-P thanks for the upload, and commentary.
Thanks Much appreciated thanks for watching
As a teen in the 80s, I watched this movie on VHS rental so many times....I do miss the non-CGI movies...shot on-location. Today, hardly no-one would bother following a story so intricate. Kids have zero attention span....
this is a classic I know what you mean , while the story has a few twists and turns it's not too complex to enjoy . Kids have attention spans for what interests them
@@JonathanEBoyd In Ghana I used to sneak up the VHS in the morning
I was a child in the 1980s but I appreciated the technology at the time.
I loved this movie way back in the mid1990s.
My favorite classic RB movie
Good Choice a Classic Indeed
i love this part of the movie ,
me to it's so brilliant
Thanks 4 a walk down memory lane
You're most Welcome
Gotta be the funniest commentary I’ve ever heard!!!
Thanks & thanks for watching one of my favourite movies of all time
A great film with a great assembly of actors, not forgetting the people behind the camera, the glory days of film.
Indeed 1 From the real Golden era of film a masterpiece in my eyes
I could not agree more. It’s in my top 10 films of all time. I never tire of it. If I were a film director I’d love to remake this film as a tribute and an academic exercise. The main reason for doing so would be to upgrade the cable car scenes and make them look more realistic. But to be honest it would be difficult to find actors today that could do a better job.
Burton served in the RAF as navigator for three years, under the war
Really ? I wasn't aware of this interesting if true
CLASSIC guy flick,,,one of my favorites. 👍💥👍
A real Classic one of my favourites as well
Richard Burton is so good in this role.
indeed He's the best just perfect in this
Unbelievable film RIP to all
Indeed RIP to These Legends
Well done
Thanks
'If any of you utters a word I'll kill you all, is that understood?'
"Alright mate"
Ratatatatat!atat!!
Yeah, me and my mates have been quoting this movie since the days of VHS.
Glad to see a new generation enjoying it!
Glad someone enjoys This film and these quotes as much as I Do I first started Watching it when I was young on VHS It's such a classic
@@JonathanEBoyd You do a good Richard Burton impression too lol
@@escapetheratracenow9883 Lol Thanks
@@JonathanEBoyd Think I first saw it in 1979. Loved it ever since. One of my mates was a senior first officer for British Airways in the 90s. Plenty of CVR recordings had "Dammit' or" THIS IS PREPOSTEROUS! " if they got rerouted, assigned a more difficult runway, passengers caught smoking on board etc Happy Days😂🤣
@@JonathanEBoyd One more anecdote for you. Me and another mate took a 2 week road trip around California in the summer of 1993. It didn’t get off to a good start. I forgot my driving licence. Damnit! My mate was under 25 so he couldn’t rent a car. We got tipped off that a dodgy Iranian firm round the back of LAX airport might rent us a car. They did. And they ripped me off with a battered 7 year old Honda CRX with 100,000 miles on the clock, duct tape holding the rear bumper on, no aircon and only one speaker working from the tape deck. What can you do?
Long story short we got lost in LA and ended up in Watts, the area where the year before the LAPD had battered Rodney King to a pulp. The last place two young white lads should have been.
Two things probably saved our asses. Driving a tatty looking old banger but secondly when we pulled up at some traffic lights, music did. A big car pulled up alongside us. The driver was a huge African American dude and he gestured at my mate to roll down his window. I thought, Oh shit, we’re done, he’s gonna shoot us now and this is turning into a really rotten holiday.
“Hey brother, what’ movie’s that music from?”
Where Eagles Dare,mate!
“Oh yeah! That’s a great movie,you boys have a great day now!” Then he wheelspun away when the lights changed. We got out of dodge alive and went on to have a fantastic holiday- back in the days when you earned the average wage which was enough to get you a house,a new car and amazing holidays. Not bad for a 27 year old without a degree and few qualifications...happy times!
Have seen this film so many times growing up! Hilarious to hear someones commentary about it, great work mate cheers.
Thanks For the Kind Words Really appreciate it It's one of my all time favourite movies I've watched many times as well my pleasure thanks for watching
Best film of all time and that’s a stone cold fact
indeed
First i watched this epic movie in the year 1989 and continue watching this every year not to miss Broadsword calls whenever I feel like I'm You tube.
Greatest war movie ever made.
Cool Calm Tough Richard Burton.
Well Said a Proper Classic Movie One of my all-time Favourites
If you like this, I guarantee you will also like Guns of Navarone (with an even better cast)
@@fifthbusiness1678 yeah
my favorite as well watching it with my dad and later with my son. 3 generations of fans! the school bus scene is epic
Sounds Legendary one of my favourite films the bus scene is so classic the whole film is classic
This was one of the classic movies that couldn't be missed every time it was shown on tv. Afterwards it was used as inspiration for never ending battles with my beloved minifigures scaled 1:72 .
Brilliant
you made me laugh at my favourite film😄
thanks it's such a great film so many brilliant moments
Jonathan, I think your comments are spot on. You obviously love this film as I do.
Thanks for watching and for the kind words much appreciated .Yes this film is one of my favourites of all time Such a classic
4:54 my favorite line in the movie
Good Choice such a classic Line
Give me the water is a goodie. Can you get the 1st part uploaded .. Round the table..?? If possible
Those are some great bits I did do a bit of the round table in part 1 ruclips.net/video/cavHqijYBJs/видео.html. I couldn’t upload all of it coz the video would probably get taken down by youtube . I’m not uploading much more where eagles dare stuff any more thanks for watching take care ✌️
The only time I litteraly went "Say what" is where Richard Burton needs one the most powerful transmitters in the world to call Italy, when earlier, he tried to call London from an radio in a backpack... I just went 🤦♂️
haha lol that's a very good point I never thought about that before
Written byAlaister McLean, who lives in Glasgow went to my school!!
wow really what school was that ? was you there the same time has him ? that's brilliant
My favorite actor ever RB
Good Choice
If possible, "Ice Station Zebra" next, please. Great cold war thriller.
Ok I'll add those to my watch list I haven't seen them yet
@@JonathanEBoyd Best quote in the film is when Patrick MacGoohan after a very calm monologue thumps the table and shouts "get me there!". I think the clip's on RUclips....
@stevehutchinson5399 quite understandable considering what he had gone through in the previous scene.
Broad Swords calling Danny boy ....Richard Burton is the best
Watching from jamaica 🇯🇲 can't get enough of this Classic my favorite...
such a classic Line from a classic film burton & eastwood both Shine in this movie 1 of my favourites . Thanks for watching
one of my favorites too.
It's such a classic
I've fired an MP44 sub machine gun and you can empty the magazine of 30 rounds in less than 10 seconds!
These guys had what's called a Hollywood magazine.....endless rounds!
I've also fired the MG42 and that thing is a beast....awesome weapon!
fair enough
The great Alistair Mclean.read all his novels.epic.tremendous movie,this one.unforgettable.the directio,cast,music.hoo boy.i love the way u enjoyed the movie.sharing is fun.
thanks for those kind words I really appreciate it It's 1 of my all time Favourite Movies such a classic (In My Humble Opinion )
@@JonathanEBoyd you are welcome & i personally like it that you highly favour this,one of the greatest,war mission movie.
A complete fantasy, no way could two men hold off and kill so many highly trained soldiers without being killed themselves, or jump between cable cars like Superman. but this is why I've loved Where Eagles Dare since I was a kid. It's just complete escapism and fun, like 007 goes into the Second World War.
indeed Well Said
@@JonathanEBoyd It was pure escapism and great fun, especially when you see it when you're 12. Also love the music, so dramatic.
Hadn't thought 🤔 of that comparison? Good observation, 👍 Glen.
Broadsword, calling Danny Boy.. Broadsword calling Danny Boy... 😮😊
Arguably the best line of the Film
Great stuff, Jonathan!
thanks so much really appreciate it
I saw this film in Jagadamba,Visakhapatnam as an inaugural movie in1970,a real war adventure movie at the age of 14,folowing with Mecanna's Gold,The Guns of Navaronw,The Dirty Dozen and still remember every scenes!👏👏👏👏👏
That's interesting it's one of my favourites such a classic movie
you missed one of my favorite lines when Richard Burton was interrupted by the SS guy with the Luger, and he says "...I just uncovered a plot to assassinate the Fuhrer".
Interesting choice many people seem to love that line it never really stood out to me as one of the top lines in this movie maybe i'm wrong But still one of my favourite films of all time thanks for watching
@@JonathanEBoyd hahaha, yes what sticks out to me in that movie is the coolness of Richard Burton, coming up with the lines about "Himmler's brother", and walking down the road in the village at night when he and Eastwood see a checkpoint ahead, and he starts a nonchalant conversation about a girl as a distraction as they pass the guards, and of course, the "I just uncovered a plot to assassinate the Fuhrer". Always quick thinking, so cool and convincing lol
@@scottanthony4511 well said he's just got that overall charisma on que He's calm under pressure and knows how to handle situations just Real classy Such a great movie and brilliantly played by Burton. Just phenomenal
Smith: "Lots of nice names and addresses!"
one of my favourite quotes from the movie
@@JonathanEBoyd mine, too! Great stuff.
Which Christiansen says it wasn’t necessary or safe for them to know!
Yo, you had me cracking up. Thanks for your excellent commentary, very observant, but also very funny. I first saw this movie in summer camp as a kid. Always remembered it, the music, everything. Thank you for bringing it back to life for me. I will watch it again now with a new outlook, thanks to your great and funny analysis.
Thanks for watching and for your kind words It's one of my favourite movies of all time . The casting ,music,and plot it's brilliant . Definitely watch it again it's such a classic Take care
Notice at 2:03, Von Hapen is wearing the Close Combat Clasp in gold, one of Nazi Germany's rarest and most prized decorations. (Only about 650 were awarded.) How a Gestapo officer would have qualified for such a medal is, of course, left unexplained.
interesting
ANTHOLOGY OF MOVIE
Indeed😄
I love the uniforms
they are pretty quality in my opinion although some have said they aren't accurate I still think they're classic
Burton drank 2 bottles of vodka a day that time. Strange he doesn’t seem drunk.
Indeed he seems fine ,But maybe he's just a highly functioning alcoholic , or maybe it's just a myth
Everyone complaining as if you owed them something... a free movie on youtube, perhaps?
The old classics are the best!
that's just the way it goes i guess . yes this old classic is a great one , one of my favourites of all time . Thanks for watching and for your comment
..." we better get this right or we're " dead " hah ha your best comment
haha thanks & thanks for watching it's one of my favourite parts of the movie it's such a classic
Dunno what’s with ppl getting annoyed at your commentary. Maybe the video title makes them expect something else? anyways, I LOVED your commentary. It was like able to watch with a friend! I am finishing the novel right now and can’t wait to watch the movie!!! Have to say I expected Major Smidth to be a bit different. Just because reading the novel I created an image and not knowing richard burton I probably have different reaction. Clint eastwood is fantastic!
Thanks For watching and for your comments .
I think people are annoyed with me because they were expecting a pure movie compilation Without any Commentary which isn't possible because RUclips will block it for copyright.
Maybe if I had put (commentary) in the title they wouldn't be so annoyed . At the end of the day I'll always annoy some people some will hate it some will like it I did my best & I'm glad I did it.
Many have told me about the novel I'll have to read it 1 day .is it long ? where did you find the book is it on amazon ?
The movie may not be as in-depth as the book but I think you'll still find it enjoyable it's a good ride .
I wish you watched the movie before my video cause I gave away all the best bits but I think it's still will be good fun watching
A classic in my eyes Take care
Best part of the movie.
The Whole Movie is the best Part Such A classic
It’s un “ Classico”! Film
Indeed
The problem with this film is that it is set during the second world war, although helicopters were first built in 1940, they were not used until after the war was over.
The helicopter in this film, was a Korean war era helicopter. These would not have been available when the film was set.
fair enough it's still an enjoyable film though in my opinion
Best film ever
definitely a favourite
I've always meant to count Lt. Schaefer's kills in this movie. Would you happen to know, Mr. Boyd?
My favorite WW2 spy movie. The novel was entertaining as well.
I'm not sure I might Have To go back and count someone did leave it in a comment on one of the videos but I haven't checked myself
Indeed one of my favourite movies of all time everyone keeps telling me about the novel I've really got to read it some time
If you find out how many kills let us know thanks
dunno if you already have , (i,m new here) but you should do a similar review on "the dirty dozen" if you liked this film , you,ll enjoy it ,and i,d watch your review ;-)
I haven't seen dirty dozen but I'll check it out. if I like it i'll try and do it
My favorite classic
One of my favourites too
