You *are* pointing that gun at me, aren't you, Colonel? Pure class.

They just don't make films like this anymore

I just love the way Clint just has to have a sneak peek out of the door to see Turner splattered over the mountains.

I love the cat and mouse in this scene, and throughout the whole film. Even to his very last few steps, the colonel still tries to come out on top by jumping out with the books..... but Smith gets him

-A public trial would be embarrassing, painful - not only for myself, but for also for British intelligence and Admiral Rolland. -Perhaps.. but not as painful as that long drop to the end of the rope. My father borrowed this book from library in 1969, and it should have been returned by january 1970. I still have the book.

Patrick Wymark did such a great job as Colonel Turner. It’s no small thing to share a scene with Richard Burton.

In the novel, just before Turner jumps out of the plane Schaffer remarks: “Mind the step.” Too bad that line wasn’t used in the movie: one can easily imagine Eastwood delivering it in his usual quiet, under-stated manner.

“It’s your name, Colonel.”

Saw the movie twice over in 2 days on Amazon Prime and that too on rent. I had watched it earlier about 3 years ago and suddenly felt the urge to see it again. This movie is certainly one of the top 5 greatest ever World War 2 movies. The Great Escape, Guns of Navarone, Dunkirk, Enemy at the Gates are all in the same league as this one. Simply brilliant.

They don't make movies like that anymore what a shame

In the novel, the traitor throws the books out the window, but Smith tells him he has duplicate copies.The guy jumps from the plane rather than face public shame, an immediate court marshal " with arrest, death by hanging by 8 o'clock in the dawn." ! Mary and Smith arrange for a legal wedding upon landing. Heidi and Schaffer /Eastwood make plans to go out and have a steak dinner in a fancy London restaurant even though people in London were eating horsemeat due to war time food shortages which she reminds him of but he tells her that's ok but he never likes horses because he always falls off them, anyway . The novel thus presents 2 love stories so there is a Happy Ending in that sense though in the movie only Mary and the wise James Bond like Major Smith hook up .Great novel , very good movie.

Awesome movie saw it when I was a kid . To this day I still see it.

"What a disguise...." Indeed Heidi is simply drop-dead gorgeous

True story: Burton's alcoholism was so out of control at this stage of his life he could barely stand. A lot of the shots of him were made to look like he was standing when he was actually sitting or propped up. a Stunt double was used for other shots. He still finished the film and knocked it out of the park.

Love the way Ingrid Pitt fills out that blouse...

I was born in 1963. I remember my parents taking me to the matinee with my uncles and cousins. One of my first memories.

Not so hasty, Lieutenant. We mustn't cheat the hangman

Richard Burton......nobody compares today. Eastwood is close but no cigar.

Suspension of belief is very important in watching any film. Even this one. One of the best spy/war films ever made.

We will never have actors like these men again its all soft actors now

Excellent ending to an excellent film. Could not have been cast better.

I saw this movie for the first time last night. Brilliant. I knew from the moment Colonel Turner appeared he would be a villian.

I remember watching this in the theater when I was 12 years old. I was completely mesmerized. One absolutely brilliant film. Thanks for posting.

Temp outside the plane during winter over the French alps easily minus 20 plus a 110 mph wind falling to Earth, he would be dead before he hit the ground and he would crack more than splat...

Everyone in this scene are dead except Clint Eastwood and the pilot actor Vincent Ball.

"[click]...put it down, Colonel."

Richard Burton could read a phone book and everyone will listen. And he's not even a singer, that's how awesome his voice was.

"You ARE pointing it at me, aren't you?" ......"You're finished Colonel" (cutting him off), classic Richard Burton.

Where Eagles Dare, The Great Escape, The Guns of Navarone - great movies, great soundtracks to enhance the movie - what actors across the board.

What I always loved about this movie was the dialogues, especially those by Richard Burton, his Welch accent makes it even more powerful.

Colonel Whyatt Turner was played by Patrick Wyatt sadly died of a heart attack less than two years after this great movie.

at least that last leap looked beautiful.

We mustn't cheat the hangman

Mary is stunning.

Next time you have one of those things make sure you have an all British operation!

So, THIS is what Harry Calahan did before he became a police inspector.

Richard Burton is 1000% gravitas.

The Colonel forgot his parachute.

a flawless movie

painful yes , but not as painful as that long drop to the end of the rope ! - class !

We don't want any traitors in our plane so get out and walk.

Free fall jump with no main or reserve parachute: "Airborne ... all the way."

Richard Burton..the Better ❤️❤️

Great Ending

one of my favourite movies.

Brave men all!. Richard Burton a great Welshman.

What a wonderfull and classy piece of "Acting Performance " Especaily the Part Burton/ Eastwood and i don't wanna forget to remind the two dangourus and beauty Woman in this Story Mary Ure and Ingrid Pitt.. Good Work to make this Classic !!!🤗

Love the ending. A little bit like the ending of Predator. Victorious, war weary and just want to get home. No more fight in any of them, they've gave everything.

close the door on your way out

It is kind of horrible to think how terribly bad shape Richard Burton at that time was in. He smoke what, around 100 cigarettes a day and drank at least a bottle of vodka in one day.

I suppose this way the Colonel is listed as killed in action and his wife and kids, if he has a wife, get his pension.

The plane that actor Victor Ball's piloting was a Swiss Air Force Ju 52/3m, registration A-702.

QUESTION: If we assume the firing pin on Col. Turner's STEN hadn't been "removed" (read: filed off) and Turner in fact had killed Smith, Schaefer and the women, what was he planning to tell the pilot by way of an explanation? (He was wearing an Army uniform, not RAF - so it's unlikely he could have killed the pilot as well and flown back himself.) So what was his "exit strategy"?

love this film love the ending

Great action , best war movie

This Hollywood is called "writing" Maybe add some of it too your next film

Traitors should be exucuted.

Ouch! That's gonna leave a mark.

That trick of not showing him jump That was slick

Plottwist he has a parachute

Great movie.

That's your name, Colonel

That was one incredible HALO!

Great movie and great scene to end but its a little tricky to remove a firing pin on a Sten when its a mouldered part of the Bolt! Ah Hollywood....

One of the best spy movies ever made.

I love that scene Richard Burton a hard nosed soldier to the very hats off gotta love these classical if classical combat movies Clint Eastwood before he became dirty harry cold bold Harry Callahan.

Amazing...that Nazi conference room plot twist led to this plot resolution....after 40 minutes of Eastwood and Burton shooting down Nazi soldiers.

Awesome movie wish could find free nowhere to get found a movie that old and still not free says something.

The greatest last lines ever!

Love it! ❤❤❤❤ Maybe turner had a secret 🪂 ?! 😊

0:43 Colonel Kramer was played by Anton Diffring, who played quite a few Nazi officers on screen. However, Diffring was Jewish.

I don't know if the dialogue is all that good. Mainly because Richard Burton could read a shopping list and make it sound good.

Great classic WW2 film.

That is a STEN submachine gun, and you cannot remove the firing pin, it has no separate firing pin.

What now Major?

good movie

Clint was 40 8n movie. Too old especially as a leitenant. A col.

I was kind of confuse about the ending. Why the double agent Colonel bother saving them ?

The movie has some nice scenes though its cartoonish at times and far too complicated to be portraying a special ops mission of the day.

A stem has the firing pin machined into the bolt.

Please fill movie updated.

you could glide on the air stream without a chute and land in a lake or snow patch but you could survive

Epic film British commandos against all the odds aided by a crack American assassin beating the Nazis through in a cracking soundtrack just the best

What about the whole film ? Whete van one watch it ?

you forgot to mention Ingrid Pitt and Mary Ure. top girls on the film,

The colonel doesn't carry sidearms?

É, agora vai.

- Do me a favor will you? Next time you have one of these things, keep it an all British operation! ( ie leave the nazi spies out of it... and me aswell! )

‘Your finished colonial’

This environment never existed.

What always pisses me off about this scene that you dont see that he jumps out of the plane. So you think, maybe he survived after all.

Da real double agent da Indian Google mishandling by in many angles so da reason one by one who facing struggle 👈

Do I have an alternative?

Did he dieded??

Barckley? Berkley Barclay???

Too confusing. But enjoyable. I read quite a few books by Alistair MacLean. Why are we all speaking English?

Hey show me more as much u can which I can 👎💪👍👈

Col Fauxi

Actually pointed out for Indian Google activities seems to b as da pot calls da kettle black👈

Awful film.
