[Film] Where Eagles Dare

[Cheshire Cat]

Kelly's Hero's was on earlier - another silly film.

Burton was mostly drunk when filming WED.

Broadsword calling Danny Boy...

Third post in - you sod!

Just watched it for the 3rd time. Great cast but farcically unbelievable. So many holes in it that you have to be really determined to turn a blind eye to.

As a keen ornithologist, I was really looking forward to this.

Disappointing, imho

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Nicely taken out.

It’s fiction, so yes, by definition.

The hills are alive . . . With the sound of MG42's.

Is that Prince Harry?

Whilst you are on I-player give Gold Run a try...Norwegian based on the 1940 Invasion.

Read the book last year. Goodness me is it good. When Alistair MacLean was on form he was unrivaled.

In Where Eagles dare, if you listen carefully near the end you can hear Christopher Plummer singing Edelweiss

Much much more likely to be Bill Lee you’ll hear as Plummer was dubbed out of the film version of SoM, much to his anger.

Chris Plummer didn’t sing Edelweiss in the movies - he was dubbed!

This is correct.
Although the full catalogue of tracks from the film was released about 18 months ago and included are Chris Plummer’s versions.
It’s a bit odd why they didn’t retain his voice as it’s really not that bad!

I’ve visited this. Was very disappointed that there was no mention of Where Eagles Dare on the official tour.

that’s ruined it for me

Ingrid Pitt and Mary Ure…now there’s a thought!

if it eases your pain at all, you can always reflect that he was also the singing voice of Shere Khan in the Jungle Book (the original one, of course, not the new outrage).

Too many negative waves CC.
