Where Eagles Dare (DVD, 2003, Clint Eastwood Collection; Widescreen)

This 1968 classic pairs the enigmatic Richard Burton (The Night of
the Iguana, The Desert Rats, The Wild Geese, Cleopatra, etc) with
the iconic Clint Eastwood (Unforgiven, Million Dollar Baby, Dirty
Harry, Gran Torino, Absolute Power, etc) in a tale of wartime bravery
and treachery. World War II is raging and an American general has
been captured and is being held hostage in Schloss Adler, a Bavarian
citadel that is nearly impossible to breach. The general allegedly
has the date and place of the Normandy invasion in his mind-so he must
be rescued. It is up to a highly skilled Allied soldiers (led by
Burton and Eastwood) to liberate the general before the Nazi's break
him and he reveals the information. Director Brian G. Hutton, tragically,
did not direct too many movies-this one and Last Train from Gun Hill
being the two big hits he did on the big screen. He also directed portions
of Gunsmoke Season 2 on tv-- so he was a capable director that did very
professional jobs when he worked. He places great war action in this
movie as well as suspense in getting the allied soldiers into the citadel,
and weaves a spy into the mix-without revealing it until the final moments
to add to the suspense. If you enjoy war action and suspense filled
classic movies-then this movie is for you. If you are a collector of
Clint Eastwood movies, this one is also a must have. For most people this
movie will give a full evenings entertainment too.

I saw this film when I was a kid. The opening score was and perhaps still is the best music I've heard. A classic spy versus spy game set in World War Two Bavaria. Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood work great together. You have your stereotypical NAZIs, double-crossing agents, and beautiful women! Its almost a WW2 version of a James Bond genre with helicopters and car chases! I recommend this film highly to anyone who loves a classic war flick - you won't be disappointed.

An Allied plane has been shot down, allowing the Nazis to capture an American General who knows the plans for the Second Allied invasion. The Brits assemble a team of commandos, including an American Army Ranger (Eastwood), to rescue him from a Nazi fortress in the Bavarian Alps. When members of their team turn up dead, it starts to look like their mission has been compromised. Richard Burton and Mary Ure also star in this adventure-turned-spy-thriller.

cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

like the whole movie. new it was a good movies. didnot disklike anything it waqs vey good from staart to the end. if you want to see agood movie try this one

Seller shipped the movie on time and the product was in the advertised condition. Nice and simple transaction.

A very interesting suspense filled movie featuring top actors Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton-with that kind of talent-how can you go wrong?
It's not based on any real events of course and at times there are things there that stretch the credibility factor such as the hallway shootout with Eastwood (Lt. Schaefer) holding two MP_40s in either hand "cowboy" style shooting back at the SS .
It has all the pleasing elements in a guys' movie.A couple of hot chicks-oollaahhllaahh! Some witticisms at times reminiscent of dry British humor by 'Major Schmidt" (Richard burton)
Got to see it.

This is a really exciting WWII adventure movie with two of my favorite stars, Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton. Very action packed and well-plotted, but the blood didn't look as real as I remembered it when watching it in the theatre years ago. Still, I find it very enjoyable and a keeper.

Loved the movie. The quailty was great! I wish I would have ordered Full screen addition. I didn't realize it was wide screen viewing.

WHERE EAGLES DARE MADE THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS PRESENT.
QUICK SHIPPING. GOOD PRICE.
A HARD TO FIND ITEM MADE EASY WITH EBAY!

I saw this movie on TCM one stormy, windy night. This is a great classic. It has action, suspense, and some unbelievably good twists that few other movies are ever able to achieve. This movie is my favorite all time. I got it for a great price, but it came in one of those paper style case and not plastic.
Give it a try!

This is a must for any Clint Eastwood Fan!! Very good story, keeps you interested! Another good movie for Clint Eastwood Fans would be "Kelly's Heroes"
Lots of big name stars in that one. "Thunder Bolt and Lightfoot" is another classic.

I am dissapointed with this video purchase. This item is clearly a bootleg. The quality of the DVD is poor. It is very grainy, it skips and stalls frequently. Even after cleaning the disc it still continued to stall.
Unfortunately I already left a positive feedback for the seller. My purchase experience was positive, it is just the item that I am disappointed with.

This is still a great WWII Movie. Of Course it was early in Clint Eastwoods Career and took second chair to the old Master Richard Burton. The Effects were great and long before the advent of CGI to take the place of realism.. I also liked the extra outtakes from the making of the film.. If you are a WWII buff, this film is a must for your collection; and the best part is that it is made now on DVD instead of VHS..

Product was as promised. Delivery was slow. Would like to receive product a bit more expeditiously. Overall good experience.

This is a classic old war movie. The cast, including Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton was all of the best actors at the time of production. The plot keeps you guessing who is on what side, where the information leaks are coming from, and how can such a mission succeed. The era of war movies seems to be lost, but there is much more to this one, well worth an Ebay price

I love old movies like this one, especialily ones starring, clint eastwood.
and it was a excellent price.

I originally saw Where Eagles Dare when I was a teenager back in 1969. I loved it then and haven't thought about it for years until recently. When I found out it was availabel on DVD I decided to buy it. It is just as good as I remember it. Lots of action, and several plot twists make it an above average war flick. The only thing I didn't like is the Germans speak English. I would prefer German speech with subtitles but that is a minor complaint. If you like WW2 movies, then you have to check this one out!
