Product Description
During World War II, seven Allied agents are selected to rescue an American general from the impenetrable German fortress Schloss Adler. In charge of the team is British Major Smith (Richard Burton), with American Lieutenant Schaffer (Clint Eastwood) as second in command. Parachuting into the enemy territory in German uniforms, the squad discover one of their number dead on arrival, and Smith suspects that he may have a traitor amongst his unit. Alistair Maclean wrote the screenplay and the film is reported to be amongst director Quentin Tarantino's favourites.

Format:Blu-ray
I cannot see that the June 2010 Blu Ray is any better than the dvd version. In cases it is very dark and doesn't seem as good as the DVD! I think the same print must have been used and no effort seems to have been made to remaster or clean up. What a shame. Where Eagles Dare is one of my favourite WW2 films. Why issue this?

Format:Blu-ray
If the transfer of this film was a showcase for Blu Ray no one would buy any. Having seen this film in 70mm years ago I know what quality is possible and this disc falls well short of that. So if you already own the DVD - save your money - as this disc will not enhance your enjoyment, in fact I think it's worse. Maybe next time the studio will get it right and even put the intermission back in.
Basically this is a five star movie on a one star disc which for me dispels the idea that a Blu Ray disc, by implication, is better quality.

This Blu-Ray print has the poorest picture quality I have ever seen on Blu-Ray, washed out colours and low contrast. The recent (not necessarily the current) versions on DVD have far superior picture quality i.e. better colour rendition and contrast.

An oldie but goodie
An action film - unusual for Richard Burton. He apparently said that he took the role because he wanted his children to see him an action film. Read more

They really don't make them like this anymore.
As old war films go, they tend to be a bit iffy.
There are a few decent ones but the majority only stand out for there cliche, wooden acting, and dodgy directing and special... Read more

Dont Buy This Disk
Although the film is superb the studios must not be allowed to rip us off by flogging poor transfers to bluray.

The greatest film of all time.
You've got the finest acting, Richard Burton AND Clint Eastwood. Burton is on form and he obviously had fun doing this. Eastwood is near is coolest. The music is perfect. Read more

Broadsword calling Danny Boy...
There must be vast swathes of the younger portion of the population who've never seen this film who'd dismiss it as just another one of those clunky old war films (yeah it's a... Read more
