Summary: The mission is clear. Get in. Get the general. Get out. Commandos charged with freeing a U.S. general from an Alpine fortress should also be told to trust nothing -- including the search-and-rescue orders just issued. Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood go "Where Eagles Dare" in this twisty World War II thriller written by action master Alistair MacLean ("The Guns of Navarone", "Ice Station Zebra") and directed by Brian G. Hutton ("Kelly's Heroes"). Known for fiery dramatic roles, Burton ventures into the realm of movie pyrotechnics with dynamic efficiency. And Eastwood's cool-fire presence heightens one searing action sequence after another. "Where Eagles Dare" is a 1968 action adventure war film directed by Brian G. Hutton and starring Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood and Mary Ure.
Production Trivia: (from Wikipedia) Richard Burton said, "I decided to do this picture because Elizabeth Taylor's two sons said they were fed up with me making films they weren't allowed to see, or in which I get killed. They wanted me to kill a few people instead." Burton approached producer Elliott Kastner "and asked him if he had some super-hero stuff for me where I don't get killed in the end." The producer consulted Alistair MacLean and requested an adventure film filled with mystery, suspense, and action. Most of MacLean's novels had been made into films or were being filmed. Kastner persuaded MacLean to write a new story; six weeks later, MacLean delivered the script, at that time entitled "Castle of Eagles". Kastner hated the title, and chose "Where Eagles Dare" instead. The title is from Act I, Scene III, Line 71 in William Shakespeare's play "Richard III": "The world is grown so bad, that wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch". Like virtually all of MacLean's works, "Where Eagles Dare" features his trademark "secret traitor", who must be unmasked by the end. Kastner and co-producer Jerry Gershwin announced in July 1966 that they had purchased five MacLean scripts, starting with "Where Eagles Dare" and "When Eight Bells Toll". Brian Hutton had just made "Sol Madrid" for the producers and was signed to direct. Eastwood and Burton reportedly dubbed the film 'Where Doubles Dare' due to the amount of screen time in which stand-ins doubled for the cast during action sequences. Filming began on 2 January 1968 in Austria and concluded in July 1968. Eastwood received a salary of $800,000 while Burton received $1,200,000. This is one of the first sound films to have used front projection effect. This technology enabled filming of the scenes where the actors are on top of the cable car. Production Budget of $7.7 million and Box Office receipts of $21 million. "Where Eagles Dare" was a huge success, earning $6,560,000 at the North American box office during its first year of release. It was the seventh-most popular film at the UK box office in 1969, and 13th in the US. Years after its debut, "Where Eagles Dare" enjoys a reputation as a classic, and is considered by many as one of the best war films of all time. General praise is given towards Burton and Eastwood's performances, as well as the various action scenes. Director Steven Spielberg cited it as his favourite war film.
