Reviews
A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
The acting in this movie is really good.
I have great memories of this film,remember reading the book at age 10.action,spies Burton and Eastwood together is great stuff,the interest starts right at the get go hearing the daring mission,never gets boring Keeps your attention all throughout the film and the last 5 mins are great to finish this fine work,suffice to say I won't spoil it at all my advice is if somehow you've missed or overlooked this 60s war film watch it asap,you won't be sorry.
I wonder about the rank of Reichsmarschall Rosemeyer, this means "Marshall of the Realm" which I understand that was created specially for Goering to ensure he was higher than generals. Nobody else was a reichsmarschall
Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood get along fine - Richard does the talking and Clint sticks to his one-liners, which turns out to be a great technique against the Nazis. The film is packed with clever action scenes, explosions and there's a fair share of pretty ladies, too (Ingrid Pitt - who could resist?). The cable car scenes are breathtaking, and so is the scenery. It's an upbeat wartime action flick.
There are reviews around here on IMDb calling this film boring, saying that it sends them to sleep. There are entitled to their opinion of course, but for me all I can say is I think this is the best film ever made!This doesn't only apply to World War 2 films or even War Epic genre I think it applies to all films in all genres period. Some people just don't care about a plot a storyline a screenplay they care about bombs, bangs, booms. Some people think the film runs for too long but I really enjoy the story so it doesn't bother me how long it runs for. My favourite film so hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
