Cool Where Eagles Dare

I've been researching on the movie, "Where Eagles Dare" and it seems like a really great movie! You guys already know what a conservative movie person that I am nowadays. I was watching a trailer for this movie and there was one scene where one of the characters asks the girl to take her clothes off. Does this scene actually occur or was it just in the trailer? Is there any nudity or sex in the movie? Thanks!

Not that I can remember, I used to love it when I was a kid but it is real "Boys Own " comic book stuff.
Daft things like magazines that never empty etc etc

I love the soundtrack though.

One of the best war films ever made. As Owen said 'a real boys own' adventure. It was never meant to be realistic. the screen play was written by Alistair MacLean. One of my fave films of all time.

There is only one scene early where they are kissing. He tells her to take her clothes off as she has to change into other "working" clothes before she goes up to the castle.

Very mild indeed! It just lets the viewer know that they are/were in a previous relationship.

Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

I have to admit that I never really liked this film, although I always liked the Camouflage scheme of the JU52 at the end of the film.

While far from being an accurate WWII film, I've always loved Where Eagles Dare simply because it's a really fun adventure film. Of course, having Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton certainly helps a lot, too!
