Description

A Telegraph, Evening Standard and Daily Mail Book of the YearFrom the acclaimed writer and critic Geoff Dyer, an extremely funny scenebyscene analysis of Where Eagles Dare published as the film reaches its 50th anniversaryA thrilling Alpine adventure starring a magnificent, blearyeyed Richard Burton and a coolly anachronistic Clint Eastwood, Where Eagles Dare is the apex of 1960s war movies, by turns enjoyable and preposterous. Broadsword Calling Danny Boy is Geoff Dyers tribute to the film he has loved since childhood an analysis taking us from its snowy, Teutonic opening credits to its vertigoinducing climax. For those who have not even seen Where Eagles Dare, this book is a comic tourdeforce of criticism. But for the films legions of fans, whose hearts will always belong to Ron Goodwins theme tune, it will be the fulfilment of a dream.Geoff Dyers funniest book yet. Who else would work in Martha Gellhorn on the first page of a book on the film Where Eagles Dare? Michael OndaatjeOne of our greatest living critics, not of the arts but of life itself, and one of our most original writers Kathryn Schulz, New York Magazine
