Description
Geoff Dyer's 'Broadsword Calling Danny Boy' On Where Eagles Dare is a comic tour-de-force of criticism that takes readers on a scene-by-scene analysis of the 1960s war movie. First published as the film reaches its 50th anniversary, this book is a tribute to the film the author has loved since childhood.
From its snowy, Teutonic opening credits to its vertigo-inducing climax, Dyer's analysis is a hilarious and insightful look at the film's enduring appeal. For those who have not seen the movie, this book is a worthwhile read, while for fans, it's the fulfilment of a dream.
With its unique blend of humour and criticism, 'Broadsword Calling Danny Boy' On Where Eagles Dare is a book that will resonate with anyone who loves film, history, or just great writing.
