It's unbelievable to think this was made back in 1969. Purely in terms of action this is still superior to many modern films of the genre. The story is spot-on for a wartime adventure and is 'unlikely' in places but in the same way that Bond films are. The fantastic music is perfectly suited to the material and gives the film a superb action/tension atmosphere.
Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood - cool is not the word.
This is not one of those war films that is still enjoyable for nostalgic reasons - it really is top-notch.
Broadsword calling Danny-Boy...
