A Telegraph, Evening Standard and Daily Mail Book of the Year From
the acclaimed writer and critic Geoff Dyer, an extremely funny
scene-by-scene analysis of Where Eagles Dare - published as the
film reaches its 50th anniversary A thrilling Alpine adventure
starring a magnificent, bleary-eyed Richard Burton and a coolly
anachronistic Clint Eastwood, Where Eagles Dare is the apex of
1960s war movies, by turns enjoyable and preposterous. 'Broadsword
Calling Danny Boy' is Geoff Dyer's tribute to the film he has loved
since childhood: an analysis taking us from its snowy, Teutonic
opening credits to its vertigo-inducing climax. For those who have
not even seen Where Eagles Dare, this book is a comic tour-de-force
of criticism. But for the film's legions of fans, whose hearts will
always belong to Ron Goodwin's theme tune, it will be the
fulfilment of a dream. 'Geoff Dyer's funniest book yet. Who else
would work in Martha Gellhorn on the first page of a book on the
film Where Eagles Dare?' Michael Ondaatje 'One of our greatest
living critics, not of the arts but of life itself, and one of our
most original writers' Kathryn Schulz, New York Magazine
