Where Eagles Dare - Making Of

[@vincelefaive5218]

A masterpiece unmatched in 56 years

[@larcombs]

one of the best action movies ever made , one of my favorites , needless to say they dont make em like this anymore. no cgi needed

[@RelicalChaos]

I agree!

[@paulcrawford5437]

Lol unfortunately it probably couldn't be made the same way these days. Imo the best war movie of all time.

[@diamondgoddess2534]

The only war movie I can endlessly rewatch! Gorgeous score, too.

[@stewartgrindlay9760]

The best movie ever made. Love it to bits.

[@stewartgrindlay9760]

Update I actually went to the area and castle in the film. Fulfilled a life long dream. The area is even more beautiful in real life

[@Cass2112]

Prob one of the finest war films I've seen superb actors added bonus Mary Ure n Ingrid Pitt absolute gorgeous women in their prime

[@Ferr1963]

It's the first war movie I saw when I was a kid. I've seen the movie so many times that I almost knew the dialogues by heart. Probably the most underrated war movie in history. A good story, and very well told. What can you say about the scenes on the cable car and the escape on that awesome red bus with snowplow?

[@UXB-p5u]

It's NOT 'underrated' it was well received by critics AND made a huge profit for the producer's and studio.

[@RubyMarkLindMilly]

One of my favourite war movies the opening is truly epic i get chills everytime when the drums kick in

[@pedrodedgud8923]

The best war movie ever, I never tire of it, I must have watched it 60 or 70 times !!

[@TaeeshNENE]

Me too... several times

I remember when i was young my dad saying you will enjoy this, and by gosh did i enjoy it. Its stood the test of time and is still very highly regarded today as one of the best if not the best war movies ever made, awesome cast, incredible storyline which all adds up. The start of the film when that music kicks in with a sprawling shot of what wee believe is the bavarian alps, hits you right out the gate and does not stop. I lost count of how many germans clint eastwoods character does away with, but what a cast, super deep with talent, including the german actors aswel. So glad it got made and there was no crap like it has to be 2hours. Its as long as it takes to go from start to finish of the mission to find out who the german spies contacts were in britain. Just brilliant. I did not know elizibeth taylor was thare during filming, amazing. A masterpiece. Real locations,

[@kasnocknsepp]

I was 19 years old at the time and spent a week as an extra during filming inwerfen (Austria).ich war damals 19 jahre alt und war eine woche lang bei den dreharbeiten in werfen (austria) als statist dabei .

[@Gill-Leeds]

The one film I can watch time after time and not get fed up with it. Has to be the best film for me👍

[@gumbojones3133]

From the actors, music, story, and overall feel of the movie, it's 100% my favorite movie of all time. Reminds me of my grandpa and father. What id give to have that first experience again!

[@bigunone]

One of my favorite movies, Thank you

[@TheWuschelMUC]

Gory, but good.

[@drubber007]

A true classic. In that it has an incredible story line. Amazing cast that work so well together. An incredible location that involved so much hard work to pull off many of the scenes. Unlike the dross we get today that is primarily shot with a green screen. And then there is the film score by Ron Goodwin. What a majestic intro. Nothing comes close. A true classic.

[@seanrafie]

My all time favorite movie ... just watched it again for the 100th time ...

[@gabrielmolina8880]

Same!

[@masonf7332]

My dads a huge Clint Eastwood fan and this is his favorite. I’d say my favorite Eastwood film would either be Gran Torino or the first Dirty Harry

[@Skoora]

Just watched it again myself. Probably have seen it on average once every few years since I first saw it in the 70’s.

I’m so glad I found this, this is very rare. Love this great WW2 movie!

[@wn8022]

Hello from Sept 2023. Thank you for posting. 👏👏👏

[@jeremyarnie1803]

I love it very much because of the actors Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton, the location with the snow and the fortress, and also the scenario which is not the one we expected at the beginning of the movie.

[@thefugue48]

One of my favourite films.

[@darkly666]

I can´t thank you enoungh for this. Having seen the movie more than 50 times this is fantastic.

[@dannycarter1966]

It comes as a separate disc in the DVD pack.

[@wombatwilly1002]

One of my fav movies.Loved this.Caughr a glimpse of Liz Taylor and Robert Shaw (married to Mary Ure) was also on set at times.

[@Lele62able]

Amazing the best war movie and One of the best movies all the times.

[@paolocappelletto7196]

Locations are one of the secrets of this movie (Hohenwerfen Castle). The sequences with the fight on top of the cable car are wonderful.

[@stephennettleship9974]

The best action fim ever...... it has everything!!! Broadsword calling Danny Boy...... ICONIC!!!!

[@miguelhernandez6489]

One of my favorite movies and the Iron Maiden song of the same name which had hints of the soundtrack in it is one of my favorite songs

[@maxout7306]

Major John Smith: You're late. Mary Ellison: One day, I won't come at all. RIP Mary Ure. (1933-1975)

[@wessexdruid7598]

Sad how she ended.

[@zarkopetrovic7472]

Classic. Perfect movie. The BEST!

[@miket851]

I just watched this today for the first time which seems criminal considering I'm 44 years old. Loved it, easily made my top 10 list and as a huge fan of Castle of Wolfenstien games I can see the inspiration, well I think it must have been considering the imagery and action. Greatness

[@JohnMGibby]

Loved RTCW!!!

[@stephenm6100]

I’ve just bought the book.. Seen the movie so many times on TCM. One of my fav war movies

[@harpothehealer]

For me one of the greatest adventure movies. yes a bit of artistic license but no matter a great story and yeah at the end of the mission I figure Clint Eastwood makes it with the other lady Ingrid Pitt. A perfect ending for me. The don't make adventure movies like this anymore, great dramatic acting from all Actors including of course the great Richard Burton.

[@SuperSteve1958]

I’ll always love it for many reasons one being my dad was bought up southern Austria, So when I saw this film when it came out , I was ten ,and he was in ww2 ,so it’s stuck in me to this day, I’ve been the alps skiing but not this castle ,I sure hope I get go and in the snow,has to be!

[@maxout7306]

"An impossible film about an impossible mission." - My readings tell me that is why Brian G. Hutton wanted to make it. Liked.

[@richardtaylor3798]

Brilliant--many thanks.

[@davehoward22]

In 1968, proibably half that village remembers this for real.

i was near there in January a few years ago & have some photos put to music (on you tube) called 'wherejdares2'

[@wessexdruid7598]

Ingrid Pitt (Ingoushka Petrov) was Polish-British, born of Jewish parents who spent time as a child in a German concentration camp. She married an American GI and moved to the US - then when the marriage broke up, returned to Europe. Among other parts, she had several roles in Doctor Who - but became a cult name for her roles in Hammer Horror films - her popularity with horror film buffs had her in demand for guest appearances at horror conventions and film festivals. She was also a writer - novels, an autobiography, as well as columns and articles for magazines and periodicals. Not German..

[@ericjohnson8326]

Major Bernard Himmler ...I think the name means something to you. I love that line from Burton. I saw this when I was 8 & loved it then over 40 years later it's still great to watch. Clint is so cool when he says Smith & Burton drops down.

[@julianroberts5407]

[@fabianpatrizio2865]

love the women in this film :) when women looked like women

[@speedracer1945]

To make a movie is boring but put together in the editing room creates movie magic.

[@BrianRPaterson]

A great movie. I saw it with my mum and dad in Glasgow when I was a wee boy and it made quite an impression. I remember making my own trip-wire "explosives" out of string, tape and cardboard tubes from toilet rolls.

[@wessexdruid7598]

Did you realise Mary Ure was from Glasgow? 🙂

[@BrianRPaterson]

@@wessexdruid7598 Nope, I had no idea! However, I did know that Deborah Kerr was also from Scotland, and she was in another movie I saw with my folks about then -- The Gypsy Moths. Also a great film, although, on reflection, maybe not so suitable for kids. Cheers

[@kurtb8474]

Indiana Jones-type action long before Indy was thought of. I remember happening on this movie on late-night television around the early 70s and wondering what the name of it was.

[@horrorfanandy4647]

Well it is Spielberg’s favourite war film, you can see where he got the inspiration for our beloved Indy!

[@edt1138]

Great movie!

[@steffanhoffmann]

Regarding the narrator. This is when English speakers; and American speakers aligned. Since the 1970s, it's changed into something unrecognisably dissimilar;.timeously. As for Burton, Ingrid Pitt got that wrong. He was from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 👉 🇬🇧 In my experience, educated Welsh people, with their musical clarity, speak the best English Don't be fooled by my name, it's 200 yesrs historically.

[@someonesomewhere18]

"There is Richard Burton of course, who is English." Welsh people everywhere get annoyed.

[@wessexdruid7598]

They also said Ingird Pitt is German. She was a Polish jew who spent time in a Nazi concentration camp as a very small child. But hey - what do Americans know, or care?

Honestly "Richard Burton, who is English" and "Mary Ure, who is English"!! Welsh and Scottish, you would think you would know these simple things working with people on a movie.

[@Dustshoe]

Perhaps Ingrid did not know the word in English for Welsh. Perhaps she just deduced from their accents that they were English.

[@JC-ej1zy]

It's not the end of the world I'm sure Richard Burton won't be too bothered about it now...

Although comparatively tame, compared to 'WED', it's a fairly good WWII movie.

Richard Burton English?! Poor misinformed German… He was Welsh, buried in Switzerland (where he lived a lot), having grown fat on American money (which he wanted to keep).
