this plays like an up market tv movie,infact you will enjoy better at home than in the cinema,film has like so many old 70`s movie`s had a chequered career on video or dvd till now, poor low grade release`s,but this copy is top end at last,you can see the skin mark`s on telly`s bald head,aspect ratio is ok it`s full screen not widescreen,but that`s ok on a large modern led tv.This flick is standard hollywood fare,no great meaning but if in right mood it`s harmless,story of nazis gold being lost is nothing new,you will enjoy the outstanding picture quality more than anything else.Shown on tv many time`s over the years but will not look as good as this disc does.

great story line, but the quality of .........
26 April 2012
Format:DVD
production left something to be desired, in my opinion. The plot/premise/storyline, or whatever, was great; WW2 soldiers, on both sides, go after Nazi gold years later. That should make a great movie. Plus, the cast of Savalas, Mason and to some extent Culp was noteworthy. They were one of the reasons I bought this to watch, since it is rarely, if ever, on TV.
What lowered the production quality was the feel of a TV movie to it. I know some TV productions can be good. But it was not here. Some of the music seemed to be out of place, not in keeping with the suspense of the story.
Also, the movie at times just seemed to be campy, almost cheesy. Not because of the actors I mentioned, but the dialogue and direction of certain scenes. The whole story was a suspense/thriller type and there should not have been any light-heartedness until the end of the movie when the gold was in hand.
It could have been quite a good movie. Maybe the producer and directors of Eagle has Landed, made at roughly same time, should have run this production. Might have ended up better.
I will try later to view this again and see if it gets better with repeated viewing. Some moview are like that. I would recommend waiting for a TV/cable broadcast of this, rare as it is, instead of purchasing the dvd.
