Broadsword Calling Danny Boy: On Where Eagles Dare by Geoff Dyer
Is it really fifty years since Burton and Eastwood made that daring raid to free an American General imprisoned in the Nazi fortress Schloss Adler? It was every young boy's dream film. Film critic Dyer was one of them and now, as a kind of tribute, he has written this funny scene-by-scene account of the impossible but thrilling escapades of its heroes. Never mind if you haven't seen it, read the book and for sure you will want the DVD!
