Product Description:
CAINE LEADS A CRACK TEAM OF GERMAN PARATROOPERS FORCED TO TAKEOVER A QUIET ENLGISH TOWN DURING A SECRET MISSION TO KIDNAP WINSTON CHURCHILL.

This 1976 adventure story set in World War II concerns a Nazi plot to kidnap Churchill from his retreat--or murder him if need be. The large, great cast and a director, John Sturges, who's been down this road of ensemble action before (The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape) make this project exciting if not as memorable as Sturges's more famous works. The weak ending doesn't help. -- Tom Keogh

While the British are painted as morally equivalent (mention is made of the British concentration camps during the Second Boer war) and the United States forces are portrayed as untested buffoons (Two words; Larry Hagman; see below).

I recently grabbed a good used copy of this film in a pawn shop for two bucks and I would have sworn that I had seen this 1976 production before now... but, as it turns out, I had not. My older brother made precisely the same comment. The movie is, of course, based upon Jack Higgins thriller-novel of the same name: The Eagle Has Landed (Liam Devlin)
I'm pretty sure that this movie never caught on for multiple reasons:
-- The premise of the film is just a little over the top, (a plan ... Read More

When this came out on VHS a while ago, I played it about 6 times a year, to the point that the VHS tape was eaten up by the VHS player. Now that I have it on Blu-ray, I will probably switch from 6 times a year to at least 12!

A WWII fantasy about a German commando team attempting to kidnap Winston Churchill. Wonderful performance by Jenny Agutter (Walkabout & An American Werewolf in London) and Judy Geeson (To Sir With Love). Excellent transfer and terrific price.
