During WW2 a British aircraft is shot down and crashes in Nazi held territory. The Germans capture the only survivor, an American General, and take him to the nearest SS headquarters. Unknown to the Germans the General has full knowledge of the D-Day operation. The British decide that the General must not be allowed to divulge any details of the Normandy landing at all cost and order Major John Smith to lead a crack commando team to rescue him. Amongst the team is an American Ranger, Lieutenant Schaffer, who is puzzled by his inclusion in an all British operation. When one of the team dies after the parachute drop, Schaffer suspects that Smith's mission has a much more secret objective.

...sets the right, jaunty tone for a never-to-be-bettered, big-star WWII victory lap…

Alas, the film's main fault is that it endures too long... There is an intermission in the showing I caught, but war epics preferably should be limited to 2 hours. The puzzle should be solved in that time span, wouldn't you say?

The new Richard Burton-Clint Eastwood movie, Where Eagles Dare, manages to bore you to death and insult your intelligence at the same time.

Leigh Paatsch

A classic of its time, this riveting WWII drama is rife with great action sequences (the cable car!) and shock twists pulled out of thin air. Three escapist hours very well spent.

This is not a picture for sensible souls and rational minds, or for those who relish their peace and quiet. It is for children of all ages who enjoy oohing and aahing and baiting their breath and screaming and closing their eyes (but peeking through).
