[@Skoora]

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.

[@JonathanEBoyd]

Indeed Very true and very well said I couldn't say it any better excellent points

[@H3llBaron]

[@TheTrutherSceptic]

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.

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 !

[@raybuck8199]

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!

[@ads1066]

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 🙂

[@JonathanEBoyd]

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 .

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.

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 😃

[@JonathanEBoyd]

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

[@keninblack]

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.

[@JonathanEBoyd]

Brilliant didn't know there was a book I might have to check it out is the storyline the same sounds Interesting

[@vordman]

@@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.

[@user-rc1ke1ef3t]

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. 👍

[@JonathanEBoyd]

[@JonathanEBoyd]

it's so classy one my favourite bits in the movie

[@pauldavies5611]

Nicely done. Great commentary. Derrick Nesbit was always great as a villain 🦹‍♀️ He had guest appearances on The Prisoner and Man in a Suitcase.

[@JonathanEBoyd]

Interesting Trivia He's so brilliant in this I'll have to check out those films thanks

[@pauldavies5611]

@@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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6mYd2yBpZqUiLc "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.

[@JonathanEBoyd]

@@pauldavies5611 ok thanks for the extra information

[@StephenLyons-tl8ie]

Derren.

[@m.bennell3518]

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.

[@JonathanEBoyd]

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)

[@m.bennell3518]

@@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 :)

[@JonathanEBoyd]

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.

[@JonathanEBoyd]

hmm That's interesting

[@bettycurry6752]

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!

[@JonathanEBoyd]

well said I agree 100 percent

[@kiritheexploited5078]

Johnathan Boyd's commentary is funny throughout this...feels like the war film version of MST3K.

[@JonathanEBoyd]

thanks For the kind words much appreciated . it's really just one of my favourite movies

[@rchydrozz751]

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.

[@JonathanEBoyd]

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

[@samayahabdi9727]

Crabby Appleton indeed, neither the helicopter existed in 1942 nor the black jacket uniform, but it sure looked great!

[@JonathanEBoyd]

@Howard Pearcey hmm interesting perspective

[@antartis73]

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.

[@thomascollins4325]

This is a great movie. I don't know how I missed this when it came out.

[@JonathanEBoyd]

Such a great movie it would have been great to watch this in cinema when it came out a real classic now

[@user-xs2mb4zc6k]

About 40 years ago ,I could watch war movies only on TV program. Now I can watch them anytime by you tube.

[@JonathanEBoyd]

The joys of the internet

[@stephenhowes8937]

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.

[@JonathanEBoyd]

well said it's such a classic

[@theresearmstrong357]

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.

[@JonathanEBoyd]

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

[@davidsheriff8989]

Great film, however the script in the castle where Burton speaks sounds completely wrong. Robert Shaw's wife was also in the film....

[@JonathanEBoyd]

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

[@antartis73]

@@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.

[@JonathanEBoyd]

@@antartis73 wow that's interesting & really sad

[@spuwho]

Mary Ure was also cast to appear in "Kelly's Heroes" also directed by Brian Hutton. She was literally about to get on the plane to Yugoslavia to join Clint Eastwood and the cast when the call came in that her role was written out at the last minute. She was married to the well known Robert Shaw (Jaws, The Sting) until she was found dead after a brilliant opening night stage appearance in London. She was 42.

[@JonathanEBoyd]

interesting

[@fredlandry6170]

[@JonathanEBoyd]

Thanks Mate much appreciated 🙏🙏✌️

[@thomasb1889]

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.

[@JonathanEBoyd]

well Said This one is one of my favourites such a classic

[@eddherring4972]

Von Hapen’s uniform (Gestapo?!), Derren Nesbit has a particularly interesting story about the uniform, his bullet shot squibs and a trip to hospital. American helicopter various minor discrepancies and anomalies but I still love this film

[@keithmartin1328]

I know this film is totally bonkers, so sixties, way over the top action scenes, Richard Burton being Richard Burton but it's brilliant. I first watched it on VHS about 35 years ago as a kid. I think that only Darren Nesbitt and Clint Eastwood are still alive as of 2023.

wow very interesting an experience similar to mine and pretty insane Clint is still making great movies
