Out-of-time helicopter and astonishing scenery!

Rating: 10/10 (27 January 2003)

Richard Burton makes an excellent performance in this classic WWII movie for boys. By his side Clint Eastwood continues his character "The Man With No Name" from his previous Western-classics "A Fistful Of Dollars" (1964), "For A Few Dollars More" (1965) and "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" (1966), a role that is more associated with Clint Eastwood than any other character in movie history (perhaps overlooking JR in "Dallas").
What I find most astonishing with this movie is the scenery of the winter landscape and the directness of the story. The team operates with a remarkable focus on its objectives, which to me is something quite unusual in movies these days, and something I find more to an advantage when it comes to realism and objectivity. Thus I truly recommend you to see this combination of war- and "secret agent"-movie.
Please note the german helicopter halfway into the movie, an object totally out of place in the historical environment!
