Watched it on Saturday night. Good film. None of the "Glamour" that comes over in John Wayne type films.
My only criticism is that it was a tad on the short side. The I hr 46min flew by. Blockbusters are usually longer.
Enjoy the film tonight

A somewhat obscure one is 'A Midnight Clear'. Really like that one.

Where Eagles Dare - Derrin Nesbitt, the 'too blond,' big lipped Gestapo officer is a Brighton boy who lives in Worthing. Mary Ure and Patrick Whymark were both alcoholics and died at 42 and 44 respectively.
The helicopter that lands in the Schloss Adler wasn't built until 1947. Most of the women characters in the film have 1960s hair and make-up (film made in 1969).
Alistair McLean wrote it in 6 weeks.

I hope the original one. The latest version was very poor and discussed at length on here before.

I know they’re ‘ the wrong side ‘ but, you’d struggle to find two better films than these.

Hood fact number 1: Luckily for him, future Dr Who and Worzel Gummidge, Jon Pertwee was transferred just before she sailed. (http://www.hmshood.com/crew/biography/PertweeJDR.htm)

Bit of a nasty character in real life. He thrashed his first wife with a leather belt, and got done on two counts of ABH. I believe he's now got a fourt wife.

Yes, I knew that. I belong the Hood Association as my Dad served on her from 37-39. He's also on that crew list.
