Good WWII Adventure With Eastwood & Burton.

Rating: 7/10 (8 September 2013)

Clint Eastwood & Richard Burton play two men leading a rescue mission of an American general who had been shot down in Nazi Germany, and is now being held in a mountain fortress. The general has information regarding the upcoming Normandy invasion, and it must be known whether or not he talked, though it turns out that the mission is not as straight-forward as that...
Well acted and directed(Brian G. Hutton) adventure yarn based on Alistair MacLean's novel is fine escapist entertainment, impressively filmed on location and filled with lots of action, leading to a most exciting conclusion. Story is quite convoluted, but result is most entertaining.
