Simply my all time favourite movie!

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2002)

This movie is an excellent example to all young filmmakers that a film does not have to be perfect in order to be great. This movie has many mistakes, both factual and technical, but they just add to the charm of the overall experience. Richard Burton is, in my mind, at his absolute best and his performance reflects onto all his co actors, including a very young and very talented Clint Eastwood. I am not a war film fan. I do not even think about the war connection when I watch this film. It is an excellent thriller with great intrigue and style. Ingrid Pitt is also the underrated actress of the film. Without her and Richard Burton, this movie would be just good. As it is, it is always awesome, no matter how many times I watch it!
