Reviews
“Highly entertaining, thrilling and rarely lets down for a moment… It’s more of a saga of cool, calculated courage, than any glorification of war.”
– Variety“I keep waiting for the day when Where Eagles Dare begins to pall. I mean, how many films can stand up to multiple viewings over such a vast span of time (about 40 years)? In fact, the opposite seems to be happening – it gets better, yields deeper layers of meaning, every time I see it.”
– Geoff Dyer, The Guardian
