one of the best war films made

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2006)

As far as I can remember, WED always was a favourite, the opening scenes, the twists and the brilliant acting. Burton and Eastwood are perfectly suited Allies. Even the women have an important role; no hopeless females falling and screaming, but a composed resistance operative is just as deadly as the main cast.
There is humour to break the ice and some one-liners which makes you enjoy that scene even more. Even though the story is fictional, you would probably think it would have happened - such is the realism.
You don't know the Gestapo until you met the one in this film, cool and very sneaky, and cold. Sets the template to other films (Raiders of the Lost Ark).
If you not seen it - you're in for a treat!
