This is one of those movies you can watch over and over and it never gets old.
Exactly right
Yeah ... And I wonder why ... I suspect it's like life in a nutshell, with all sorts of characters and a detective style adventure to solve a problem.
I watched this movie at paramont Cinema in Tehran back in 1969 or 70. Together with my parents and two little brothers 3hours movie stereo and 70mm panavision . We enjoyed it. Alas paramont cinema is gone with the wind at the time being.
or comprehensible
As an older dude, I grew up with films like this in the 70s. Here's some of my favourites from this era . WHERE EAGLES DARE...1969
THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN...1969
KELLYS HEROES...1969
THE EAGLE HAS LANDED....1976
MIDWAY ....1976
BATTLE OF THE BULGE...1965
TORA TORA TORA ....1970
Don't forget "The Great Escape and The Dirty Dozen.
@@hannejeppesen1809 Patton, In harm's way, Hell is for hero's, The sand pebbles ,The Deer Hunter
Don't forget GUNS OF NAVARONE
This has to be one of the best!
"The Eagle Has Landed" is based on a novel which was inspired by an earlier movie, "Went The Day Well?".
And The Longest Day...
The perfect movie to watch in the winter, especially when it’s snowing outside!
100 percent Such a classic
I was living in an apartment over a theater in a small town. My uncles in laws ran the theater and WED came into the theater. I had sole access to the balcony seats for watching the movies.
For two weeks I saw every single screening of it and was hooked. Its my all time favorite movie. Welcome to the fan club!!
Curtiss that sounds Like an Awesome way to watch this classic movie I wish i could have watched it in the theatre One of my favourite movies of all time a timeless classic yeah i've been in the fan club a long time
this movie has an atmosphere that none other has, they dont make em like this anymore
Indeed it just has all the right elements and the right build such a classic
Not many actors like Richard Burton anymore
@@StoutProper great at his art good movie
Nowadays, Marvel movies😢
Classic film I must have watched it 100 times and never tire of it
it's One of those rewatchable films one of my favourites of all time
I lost count along the way
It's based on a true ww2 operation.
Yes me too i watched this movie so so many times my favorite
The scenery is magnificent
That theme music is epic and heroic. You know a great adventure is in store.
Indeed Well Said
One of my favorite movies. When I see it playing, I have to stop and watch even though I've seen it a hundred times. It's got everything. A WWII movie, spy movie, murder mystery, and a splash of romance.
Very well said it's such a classic and so rewatchable a real favourite
Great minds think alike! The opening score is the best. The voice of Richard Burton is incomparable. They simply don't make movies like this anymore. Thank you so much.
Thanks For the Kind thoughtful comments I'm glad you agree one of my favourite films of all time it's such a classic in my eyes You're welcome it was my pleasure Take Care
I have to agree, one of the best. I love all the words said between Burton and Eastwood with no words.
indeed a classic combo
I was a youngster when this movie came out. I love it now just as much as I did back then! Great movie.
It's a good choice very re-watchable such a classic
Look at Mary Ure’s character in this movie. She’s a total bad ass. She’s not there as arm candy for Burton. She’s an important part of the team and his character also treats her with that respect. She doesn’t sacrifice her femininity to be an able and effective agent in the story. Awesome scenes of her not hesitating to be side by side with Eastwood blasting Germans and doing what it takes for them to succeed. And it all plays out naturally with no virtue signaling, no berating or de-intellectualizing of men to elevate her, no displays of unbelievable physical prowess, just her being someone who has their shit together. Heidi is also portrayed well by Ingrid Pitt in a similar manner. Modern movie makers could learn a lot from a movie like this on how women can be extremely capable without becoming ostensibly a man in their character and behavior.
Indeed Very true and very well said I couldn't say it any better excellent points
She was the wife of Oberst Hessler!
@@H3llBaron Ah yes..Hessler, the panzer group commander in "Battle of the Bulge". The character who got frothy over the Allied importation of applie pies from Boston. Tried to use it to flatten Ambleve.
Right on, Man!!
Take a break from 4chan and whatever else alt forum you stalk. The premise is based on generous subjective interpretation of WWII (Brits & Muricans weren't the SS badass they think- look it up) so the women look just like Bond girls - silly caricature. If that's what you call femininity there's still plenty of that in modern movies. Only you also get the updated characters of men as well as women.
Richard Burton is one of the best actors of all time.
A truly great movie, from the days that Hollywood make real movies not the trash of today.
Richard Burton & Clint Eastwood are top quality .
Wonderful War era film, Burton and Eastwood are top of their game in this. Ingrid Pitt is such a timeless beauty here...this is the movie that got her name remembered with me.
Indeed well said it's such a classic definitely one of my favourites
I can see this film over and over again, and never get tired of it. It is a legendary film, they don`t make films like this in 2020.
Very True It's one of my favourites of all time a real classic
Richard Burton, one of the greatest actors of all time. He made a good duo with Clint, although they couldn’t have been more different.
well said Indeed A very good Unlikely duo and entertaining to watch
A great pairing, Burton was the best at delivering the lines and Eastwood was the best at dealing with the bad guys, brilliant 👍.
May God rest his liver.
Proper Gravitas- Both. Got on well too apparently.
one of the most underated masterpieces of all time
Indeed such a classic film Very under rated one of my favourites of all time
@@JonathanEBoyd Just wondering : What sources do say it's underrated ? ... I just saw it last night on AMC in Romania ( AGAIN, for the n-th time ) and I remember seeing it 25 years ago, several times, week after week in reruns on TNT Romania, by night. This one is a super-classic just like North by Northwest.
@@eugenm I agree with you .when I say it's underrated when I talk to many film people they've either never seen or heard of it . I don't hear it mentioned by critics as one of the old classics to watch
also the rating on IMDb is low and other internet movie sites
but it will always be a classic in my eyes such a brilliant film
Alistair MacLean stories have always been fascinating. Where Eagles Dare with its wonderful location & packed action has always been a favorite movie. Thanks for sharing. Waiting to see more of the movie.
Thanks for watching well said indeed it's a classic in my eyes an one of my favourites
Awesome war movie,...great settings with a wonderful music score,..and Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood's on screen chemistry was incredible,... brilliantly written and the stunning snow covered backdrops made for the perfect war movie ,..the likes we don't see anymore....mores the pity
Indeed Well Articulated Such a classic Movie it's quite unique there's still not another movie quite like it so brilliant
You really believe in Burton and Eastwood. They're proper men not pretty boys. Typical of the stars of the era like Sean Connery, Michael Caine and Patrick McGoohan.
Great movie ..
The legendary film actor Richard Burton delivers one of his most powerful screen portrayals in the blockbuster movie Where eagles dare
Indeed Richard Burton is Pure class in this movie
Despite the fact that Mr Burton was drunk for most of the filming it was a great performance 👍
RIP Richard Burton (November 10, 1925 - August 5, 1984), aged 58
You will be remembered as a legend.
A Legend indeed
@Jonathan Boyd indeed my friend.
Caliguia from the robe
Burton would have made an excellent Bond if they hadn't found Connery first. I can easily picture him saying: That's a Smith and Wesson...and you've had your six.
Amazing how many people HAVE NOT even heard of this movie. The best DAMN one Eastwood ever made too. FINALLY, Richard Burton did something besides a 'mushy' love story. His kid suggested he do just that too!
I know right . it is relatively old to most people maybe that's why but it's some of eastwood's and burton's Finest work such a classic
I agree. It is one of the best movies of all time IMHO. Burton and Eastwood were a great combination.
I was a kid when I watched this fantastic movie at the school cinema club in the late 1970s. I used to read Alistair Maclean and James Hadley Chase good books among others. This was the best war thriller that I still remember vividly even until now ! The music score, Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood and the sinister Gestapo Major brilliantly played by Derren Nesbitt made me glued to the edge of my seat. Very realistic special effects too for that era. Superb movie !
well said such a classic movie it must have been a joy to watch in the 70's it's so brilliant even now Gestapo such a brilliant character it just works
I just happened to catch this terrific film on TCM one Sunday.
I'm not really into War films.
But it just engrossed me from start, to Nazi Killing finish!!
BRILLIANT stuff, and I LOVE Burton and Clint
Glad To see someone who Enjoys this Film It's a real classic in my opinion
@@JonathanEBoydAGREED!
One of my mother's favorite films, thus mine. Because of Richard Burton & Eastwood. Also Guns of Navarone.
Brilliant Choice of film I've still got to watch Guns of Navarone everyone keeps telling me about it but Where Eagles Dare is one of my favourites such a classic
Yes of course, but did you notice the cable car room was the same movie set that was used for those big guns?
One of the greatest war films ever 👌
yes indeed
This is One of my favorite Classics of the good-Olden days that bring Nice and Sweet-memories. 🤗
yes indeed i'm glad someone else agrees with me on this film not many have seen it's one of my favourites of all time
Yeah Johnathan this film never gets old my so so favorite the music the snow scenes everything is wonderful just wonderful, today's generations should watch this masterpiece fantastic movie i just love it..salute to the entire production crew + those fine actors who did mervellous..best wishes from paradise Fiji..three cheers "WHERE EAGLES DARE"
Indeed Very well Said Best wishes to you Anand take care
The greatest war film in the history of world cinema, first-class actors in world cinema, direction, production, filming locations, dialogue, scenario, sound and visual effects, and a true story. You feel that the actors exerted all their experience and professionalism in directing this. Work wonderfully,, I still watch it every month ❤️ The icon of war cinema in the world of cinema,, I am Egyptian 🇪🇬
it's a classic I don' think it's a true story though but i'm willing to be proven wrong . otherwise well said this movie is a fantastic a well deserved Fav
I love this film at Xmas. I will tell you the reason. I watched this one time when I could not sleep when young. But I could not find it again. Managed to come across it and taped it when at my Uncles house at Xmas and watched it ever since.
I have visited the castle and it has a floor dedicated to the film. It’s amazing
Brilliant it's a great film at christmas or anytime Really many have had similar experiences to you . I'd love to visit the castle sounds iconic Thanks for sharing Always go to see someone who enjoys this classic as much as me or even more
@@JonathanEBoyd please go see it. Fly to Salzburg and it’s about 30 mins outside it.
You can also get an Eagle show with the grounds twice a day
This is one of my favorite movies of all time -- I watch it annually every winter. Thank you for posting this!
Ozaer Thanks For watching and the The Kind Words . It's one of my favourite movies of all time it's definitely a good watch in the winter with a hot cup of chocolate . Take Care
Are you watching it this winter?
@@james9311 absolutely......with a nice meal and a coffee.
@@james9311 I am most definitely
I was a standby prop on this film at a very young age about 21.We worked a month on pre production and 10 months shooting. So almost a year making good money working with legends.
All the exterior shots were done in Germany. We lived in the Europa Hotel in Salzburg Austria and commuted daily into Germany for about 3 months. The remaining 8 months at MGM UK studios shooting all the interior shots. Due to the snow melting early the 2nd camera crew continued shooting long shots in the Italian and Swiss Alps. Burton was a good guy always telling good jokes and had his personal hairdresser in attendance always. You should have seen the entourage Liz Taylor had ( Royalty ) Eastwood had nobody, Eddie Silver his hairdresser hired by the production company etc. Eastwood worked out and jogged every day loved riding a BSA motorbike in the UK he purchased two, one for his stand in to ride with him. He always drank herbal tea when on the set. I know because it was my job to make it. Brian Hutton the director wore a black T shirt every day. At the end of the movie he gave his chauffer his white Rolls Royce!
Wow ! What a movie to work on. now a classic must be nice to look back on it now thanks for sharing all the behind the scenes stories great to read thanks
A pure pleasure to watch this film. The opening theme was the international language of drama. Easily the equal of The Guns of Navarone.
Where eagles dare A Real Classic In My Eyes one of my favs still have to check out The Guns of Navarone tho I've Heard Good Things
Other older wartime classics like this that have stood the test of time: THE GUNS OF NAVARONE, The Dirty Dozen, Kelly's Heroes, PATTON,
i still have to watch some of these thanks
The reason this movie was made was a request by Richard Burtons daughter to do a fun movie. He had been doing these epic historical dramas.
that's very interesting if true I'm glad he switched it up
Besides Kelly's Heroes Where Eagles Dare is one of my all time favorite war movies, the plot and dialog is way over the top but absolutely entertaining, as kids back then we would play W.E.D we would all want to be LT Shaefer (Eastwood) machine gunning and grenading countless lined up Germans--how does that castle hold so many men? The Bell helicopter (?!) the "Chuff" sound of the suppressed pistols, the unlimited ammo that they all have, the bottomless rucksacks of dynamite, the resonance of "Broadsword Calling Danny-Boy, come in Danny Boy" all fantastic to us kids, we loved it, and still do. Although with the desperate music in the background I find the fight scene on the cable car really awful to watch, and that brief false hope of the wounded men huddled on the floor of the cable car before it explodes gives the movie a really raw edge, any time it is on TV I will always watch it, never get bored and try to count up the kill ratio of Eastwood (I got to 80). As a matter of interest "Cinema Retro" magazine released a "Making Of" edition of Where Eagles Dare and is worthwhile hunting down, although it was later released in a limited edition (115 Pages) and is the bible of the behind the scenes of this epic classic, you can find out that Burton's constant drunkeness was an issue during production, how Eastwood settled into his role and enjoyed his time with the crew, the magazine is full of pictures and anecdotes and a worthwhile prize to the fan of this movie 🙂
Very interesting and valid opinions I know it’s not a perfect movie but it’s still a favourite of mine I’ll try and track down that behind the scenes sounds very interesting . Where eagles dare will always be a classic in my eyes .
Thank you for this, one of my favourite movies of all time. I never tire of it, used to watch it with my father all the time when I was young… and I still watch this every year.
Thanks for watching it's 1 of my all time favourite movies you can watch it every year and it's still brilliant a real classic
I love this movie.We went to see its premier.I was 8 yrs old. My dad loved it. I love the bus driving at the end. .Thank you!
Wow that premiere Must have been awesome I love that scene as well such a great action scene the whole movie is great. one of my favourites of all time You're welcome My pleasure
It's something to see this, especially since the last time, I was a kid
The big thing in these movies was those tigger line for explosives...always blowing things up
Also, I love your genuine enthusiasm here 😃
this movie is such a classic in my eyes . it's one of my Favorites so easy to be enthusiastic about Thanks for watching and the kind words very much appreciated
I have seen this movie many Many times still love seeing again and again
Good to hear one of my favourite movies of all time such a classic
My favourite war film of all time, with my favourite actor - Sir Richard Burton. And Clint Eastwood is not bad either. Two absolute legends on screen together. So awesome.
A very classic Legendary Film
Motor bike chase was an epic.And Clint a second rate punk A classic.
@@iancoles1349 100 percent such great moments on of my favourites
This is a pure blast from beginning to end. Brilliant casting👍
indeed brilliant casting and an interesting plot a real classic
Even though 'Where Eagles Dare 'was made in an era of great WW2 movies, the intricacy of the plot was always which set it apart.
Fantastic pacing in great sets too!
@@alanknotts1844 Very True casting ,story, plot it's always an enjoyable watch a real classic
I believe it was made in 1970. And yes It's one of my favorites as well. The man who plays Major Van Hatten plays the part so convincingly, yet in real life he is an englishman and sounds so british.
It was released in 1969 in USA 1970 in the UK One of my Favourites of all time
Major Von Happen Played by Derren Nesbitt He plays it so perfectly it’s funny when you hear his voice on interviews. such a classic film
@@JonathanEBoyd Actually, it was released in 1968 in the UK and in 1969 in the USA. Kelly's Heroes came out in the USA (worldwide) in 1970.
@@paulnistor3547 thanks Yes I looked it Up it's interesting that it has so many multiple dates of release
My dad has a signed picture of the major in fill uniform a bust shot if u will it's 8 X 4 and really cool, hung in his WC lol
@@rob1loxley lol that’s so random but interesting
My mom and I would watch this wonderful movie every summer on the hottest day. We felt cooler ! Great memories. 🥰
Great Choice a real classic
Such a classic movie! always enjoy watching when i get the chance to see it.
A Classic Indeed one of my favorite's
OMG, I remember seeing this with " Kelly's Heroes ! " at a Chicago-area theater 🎥. That was about 50+ years ago. I loved the music soundtrack, the introduction, the cinematography, and how the story slowly builds up to the climax. They just don't make films like these anymore ! One slight error I noticed as far as I recall ; the Helicopter used in the movie was an " R-4" , and It wasn't utilized until the Korean War. And I don't recall the Germans or anyone else using 🤔 Helicopters during WW II. Other than that, I liked the movie a great deal. The movie that's based on the book goes into a lot more detail though.
Interesting to hear your perspective . Despite it's flaws I still think it's a great movie not a perfect movie but one of my favourites
The Germans had though helicopters. Rocket-Wulf, Hinckel and Kolibri.
I've driven to Werfen in Austria where the Castle of Eagles still stands. So many recognizable places. As a lifelong fan of this movie it was a fantastic pilgrimage having a beer in the Shadow of the Schloss Adler!!
wow That must have been phenomenal I'd Really love To Go one day and check it out
@@JonathanEBoyd We stayed the night in one of the many taverns there. My satnav took us the scenic route through narrow twisting and snow-covered roads till there it was...illuminated against the night sky, the castle. You know the music when Smith and Schaffer first see it, it was awesome!
The weird thing was that there wasn’t a single photo on any wall from the movie. Even the website of the castle makes no mention of it.
That didn’t stop us enjoying every minute of it before we continued our drive home to Bulgaria.
@@escapetheratracenow9883 wow that sounds like such an awesome experience how long ago was that ? I hope i can go one day
@@JonathanEBoyd I think it was the winter of 2015. Werfen is about 45 minutes south west of Salzburg and the halfway point between England and Bulgaria by road. We've been out here for 8 years now and have loved every minute of it, especially all the amazing road trips we've been lucky enough to enjoy. Too many to mention and almost too good to be true. I just hope we can do them again when we get our lives and freedom back...
@@escapetheratracenow9883 sounds great I hope you manage to when we get our freedom back
I remember this movie as a child it’s a classic!
indeed a real classic
I literally just watched this movie 5 minutes ago for the 3rd time this year, it has the occasional cheesy 70's action movie bits (The classic car explodes because it roles down a cliff), but those bits just make it funny and even more enjoyable. I've always loved ww2 movies and spy movies and action movies, which makes this movie just perfect for me.
well said this movie is one of my favourites such a classic always a n enjoyable watch
This is a great movie. I saw it at the theater when it first came out in 1969.
Must have been such an experience Such a classic movie one of my all time favourites
Thumps up this is my favorite film everthing is perfect here the music and everthing just great
indeed Very Well said everything comes together on this movie such a classic
I first saw it in the beginning of the 80's, I was a teenager at the time. One of the best movies I've ever seen. The plot is very intriguing, didn't fully understand it before I watched a second time.
AtomicLT11 well said it’s definitely a film that’s got a lot of things going for it plot , cast humour , action one of my favourite films of all time
This is my Dads favourite film, it’s my favourite film, Maybe one day my son will carry on the tradition. As you say, this movie is truly epic. I love it. 👍
wow Completely Agree It's a timeless classic I truly think anyone could Enjoy this Film it has all the right elements How awesome would it be if your son carry's on the tradition
Outstanding movie - seen it over 50 times.
wow you've seen it more than me good on you it's one of my favourites such a classic
Always great to have a fellow Where Eagles Dare fan.
The movie is one that I would take to my desert island, but....
The book is exceptional. Listen to the audiobook and let your imagination mingle with the images from the movie and you have the best movie that Holywood will never make.
Brilliant didn't know there was a book I might have to check it out is the storyline the same sounds Interesting
@@JonathanEBoyd The storyline is exactly the same, but Smith and Shaffer don't kill anywhere near as many Germans as in the film. It's all about finding the traitor, not taking on the German army. Even Von Halpen survives. Surprised you didn't know it was a novel. It was penned by the legendary Alistair McLean.
I watched it as a child in Israel.
I'll never forget this Great film.
Watched it in black & white.
Must Have Been A Great experience watching this classic
I know this film very well, probably because I’m a fan of both Eastwood and Burton, thank you for your review of this great film.
Thanks For watching it's one of my favourite films of all time such a classic in my eyes always enjoyable
I have been listening to the audiobook which is great! Thats what brought me here. Alistair MacLean is a wonderful author
thanks for stopping by Interesting many have mentioned the book I have not read it but maybe I'll put it on the reading list
A favourite adventure story with some of the best cast members ever to grace the screen……loved it because there were no boring scenes at all with sharp dialogue…..total excitement!
well said I agree 100 percent
About 40 years ago ,I could watch war movies only on TV program.
Now I can watch them anytime by you tube.
The joys of the internet
Very nice video. My all time favorite movie. The music, the plot and the acting is so good. Thumbs up!
yes it's a classic
Love this movie . Never get enough .
Same It's one of my all time Favourites Such a classic
This is a great movie. I don't know how I missed this when it came out.
Such a great movie it would have been great to watch this in cinema when it came out a real classic now
This is one of my top favorites! Thanks for this video and part 2 as well.
thanks for watching one of my favourite movies such a classic
perfect winter's night film, curled up with hot soup :)
Indeed
I will second that. Roaring fire, glass of whisky and this film on a big TV. Fantastic
@@martinsmith1538 Such a phenomenal film everything you said ( minus the whiskey for me tho )
Nicely done. Great commentary. Derrick Nesbit was always great as a villain 🦹♀️ He had guest appearances on The Prisoner and Man in a Suitcase.
Interesting Trivia He's so brilliant in this I'll have to check out those films thanks
@@JonathanEBoyd Well, "The Prisoner" is a t.v. series from 1967 starring Patrick McGoohan. The episode where Derren Nesbitt (I was spelling his name wrong, sorry!) is in is called, "It's Your Funeral", episode 9: ruclips.net/video/yx5F9Kp5aRU/видео.html
"Man in a Suitcase" was another t.v. series from the same period starring Richard Bradford. Episode 11, "Dead Man's Shoes" had Nesbitt as the villain. Thanks again.
@@pauldavies5611 ok thanks for the extra information
Derren.
One of my favorite movies; seen it many times at home. Love the three reasons why he should be believed as he fools the enemy.
it's so classy one my favourite bits in the movie
ive watched it at least 12 times...since i was 10 yrs old...i absolutely love it
good on you its a classic a real fav
This always makes me want to play "Return to Castle Wolfenstein"....Great game.
🏴👍
This makes me want to play Wolfenstein 3D
Interesting
Because this movie was one of the direct inspirations for the whole game series.
Johnathan Boyd's commentary is funny throughout this...feels like the war film version of MST3K.
thanks For the kind words much appreciated . it's really just one of my favourite movies
Congratulations ! you really captured the essence for this masterpiece of a film. Did you know it is Quentin Tarantino's all time favourite film...I think that speaks volumes
Thanks For your Kind Words really appreciate it . I knew Quentin Like the movie and was inspired by it when making Inglorious Bastards but didn’t know it was the favourite film . One of my favourites too it’s a classic 👌
I was about 16 years old when this film came out, my next birthday I will be 70, and I still watch it ( : it never gets old, unlike me ):
It's Such A classic Movie everyone can enjoy
there's not one of that isn't getting older it's a privilege
“Yeah, well I can see how that would shake him up a little.”
“More than a little, I should think.”
a Classic bit of dialogue
Good thing the Spanish air force had old WW2 planes.back then.
The Germans had the most stylish uniforms of WW2.
One of my favorite WWII movies, together with "The longest Day", "Tora tora tora!" and "The eagle has landed"
interesting i'll have to check out those other movies
@@JonathanEBoyd Here :)
ruclips.net/video/wvB0KuSK7OM/видео.html
@@JonathanEBoyd just a few quotes from "The longest day" to encourage you in watching it :D
Gen. Blumentritt, of Feldmarshall Von Runstedt's headquarters in Normandy: ""We are living an historical moment. We are going to lose the war, because the glorious Fuhrer has taken a sleeping pill... and is not to be awakened. It's unbelievable. Think of it Kurt, don't ever forget it: We are witnessing something which historians will always say is completely improbable... and yet it is true. The Fuhrer is not to be awakened!!! I sometimes wonder which side God is on."

Major Pluskat: My God! [focuses binoculars and looks back at his men] The invasion! They're coming!
Wehrmacht Officer: [to soldiers] Alarm!!!
Pluskat: [calls higher command in a panic] Herr Oberstleutnant! The invasion has come! Five thousand ships, there - there must be over five thousand ships out there!!
Oberstleutnant Ocker: [ignorantly confident] Now get a hold of yourself, Pluskat. [sips coffee] The Americans and the British don't have half as that many ships all together.
Pluskat: DAMMIT, IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, COME UP HERE AND SEE FOR YOURSELF!! - That's fantastic! That's unbelievable! I-I just can't believe it!
Ocker: [chuckles] My dear Pluskat, what course are these ships heading for?
Pluskat: STRAIGHT FOR ME!!!
Read The Eagle Has Landed, it is so much better than the film. I do like the film but the book has so much more to it, especially the part where Devlin gets the army vehicles, particularly good.
Incredible film and what an opening soundtrack, spine tingling!!!!
Indeed the sound Track is so epic Such a classic in my book
'Broadsword calling Danny Boy". What's not to love about this film - action and adventure, Eastwood and Burton, 2 beautiful ladies and a wonderful soundtrack
indeed well said
One of my favourite war stories & FILM 📼,,,
Same Here Such A classic
I remember when first seeing Richard Burton say...we have come to surrender, I thought oh no, how are they going to get out of this one? The two of them riding in just one car without at least a truck full of heavily armed soldiers would never have happened...except in this movie! Out of the four who were killed in the car, I thought the one Clint pushed out the door had the best chance to survive and limp away with his machine gun. I guess Major Smith just had to kill the unarmed driver! We don't really see how the Major killed the guard, but the officer to his left certainly took a dive through the front window. One of my favorite movies, that even a non war movie person can enjoy.
well said it's such a classic
Hands down my favourite Christmas film! Completely brilliant film and book, of course.
well said Indeed such a classic movie
Watched this dozens of times love it
Thanks It's a great film one of my personal Favourites
Like the castle escape with the music in the background
Great film, however the script in the castle where Burton speaks sounds completely wrong. Robert Shaw's wife was also in the film....
Interesting How does Richard Burton Sound completley wrong ? I didn't know that about Robert shaws wife plays Mary that's interesting I never knew that
@@JonathanEBoyd such a beautiful woman Mary Ure, was actually married to Robert Shaw (the German Hessler character in ‘the Battle of the Bulge’ and many other memorable roles) and unfortunately died of alcohol addiction if I remember right.
@@antartis73 wow that's interesting & really sad
Saw this when it was at the theater. Enjoyed it. Burton's character: "a hole is a hole is a hole..". Now, that's a line.
interesting Many Keep Pointing this Line out to me I've left it out of all my videos I'll Have to make an update video Including it (it just didn't stand out to me at first)
@@JonathanEBoyd There's a ton of little scenes and bits of dialogue that keep the story going before we get to the machine guns and big explosions..Opening music gives the hint. When those three JU 52s engines start cranking to climb over a narrow, high snow-covered saddle at the beginning...This is gonna be serious :)
@@m.bennell3518 Well Said
It's NOT a random film. But I agree with everything else you say. A true classic.
Definitely A true Classic Film . I misspoke not that it's a random film but many I've Spoke to haven't seen it or heard of it Even though it has 2 of the biggest movie stars in it & when I was making the video it didn't have a high IMDB Rating maybe a 5 or 6.5 out of 10 which Was Shocking but you are correct Take Care
@@JonathanEBoyd Really...It's at 7.6 now, never knew it was so low. There's about half a dozen 1 star reviews which are a comedy read. Rants that is an improbable story or about certain elements which didn't exist during WW2 such as the helicopter. If you only like movies that are historically accurate, then you're no doubt a boring nerd that needs to get a life 😂
I want this to be one of those movies I can watch over and over but at some points it drags a bit. Can’t pinpoint it but I do love the characters and plot esp the ending on the plane ride home. Great showcase for Clint.
fair enough it does take a while to get started i still think that's part of it's charm though
it's not a movie you rush through it's a movie you savour in my opinion it's a movie you rewatch once a year or every 2 years . Clint is always awesome
This film is Awesome ! 👌 - The cable car scene is amazing. " Broadsword To Danny Boy ! "
1 of my favourite films those are some of my favourite parts
My Uncle played a background Nazi in this
that's incredible He's officially a legend
@@JonathanEBoyd He is indeed, and rumour has it that he is holding his gun upside down! Not sure which scene though
Is he one of the German soldiers shooting at the plane moment before taking off ?
Is he the one who fell from the cable car while fighting Burton ?
I agree. This classic movie is one of my favourites, too. Excellent choise!
Thanks yes indeed one of my favorite's
Burton and Eastwood were a perfect pair in this film. One of my favorites. Thanks for sharing.
indeed one of my favs too , thanks my pleasure you're welcome
Yes. Another perfect pair at 5:55
"What a DISGUISE!"
🤩
😆
One flaw in this movie. The helicopter in this movie was not available just yet. This type wasnt used in the military until the Korean War. Like the ones on the MASH 4077 TV show.
interesting Trivia The movie Probably Has many things that aren't quite 100% historically accurate but Most are so busy enjoying the movie to notice ( but if you watch it loads of times or you have a keen eye you'll notice many things ) still a great Movie one of my favs
Crabby Appleton indeed, neither the helicopter existed in 1942 nor the black jacket uniform, but it sure looked great!
@Howard Pearcey hmm interesting perspective
The Germans had several helicopter types from 1942 onwards. However like you point out this particular helicopter wasn’t available till the war of Korea.
The evil looking guy is John G. Heller who also appeared in Kellys Heroes and many other British war films
interesting thanks for that information
@@JonathanEBoyd You're welcome sir
I must have seen this film a dozen times when I was a kid. For some reason it was always on German telly around Christmas / New Year's Eve.
hmm That's interesting
Love this- It’s winter but they’re standing around like they’re on a London film stage in April
hmm at what point are you referring to ?
A thinking man's or woman's action movie with a surprising lead in Richard Burton who is the last actor you would have thought of for an action movie. It helps that it was written by Alistair Maclean who was an expert in writing who the hell is really the bad guy stories.
well Said This one is one of my favourites such a classic
One of my favorite adventure films and I was always of the opinion that on the plane home Clint Eastwood made it with Ingrid Pitt playing the other female spy.
Hmm interesting this movie will always be a classic
@@ronratcliffe2219 Interesting never read the book I must seek it out, thanks
@@ronratcliffe2219 interesting I'll have to check out the book one day
