Though Clint Eastwood is wonderful in it, Richard Burton is stellar in this film and commands the lead in it. Intricate story and plenty of intensity and action.

neutral · AI labelView post →Now watching Where Eagles Dare. My dad took me to this when I was a kid. Fun movie. Great cast. Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood, Richard Wymark, Michael Horder, Ingrid Pitt ... they're all perfect for this movie. Written by Alistair MacLean who wrote scripts for some great popcorn action/war movies.
