1969
****
Director: Brian G. Hutton
Cast: Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood, Mary Ure, Patrick Wymark, Michael Hordern, Donald Houston, Peter Barkworth
A classic men-on-a-mission movie about a group of British and American commandos who parachute to the Alps to rescue a captured U.S. Army General from the Nazis. This is an irresistibly entertaining action film, even if the story is pure fiction and it's much longer than it needs to be. Based on Alistair McLean's novel.
