In Zona, Geoff Dyer&;&;one of our most original writers&; (New York)&;devoted a whole book to Andrei Tarkovsky&;s cult masterpiece, Stalker. Now, in this warm and funny tribute to one of his favorite movies, he revisits the action classic Where Eagles Dare. A thrilling Alpine adventure headlined by a magnificent, bleary-eyed Richard Burton and a dynamically lethargic Clint Eastwood, Where Eagles Dare is the apex of 1960s war movies, by turns enjoyable and preposterous. &;Broadsword Calling Danny Boy&; is Dyer&;s hilarious tribute to a film he has loved since childhood: it&;s a scene-by-scene analysis&;or should that be send-up?&;taking us from the movie&;s snowy, Teutonic opening credits to its vertigo-inducing climax.
