Broadsword calling Danny Boy

Film evening tonight for the three generations of the family on the male side and what a cracker. 

A. did not recall seeing Where Eagles Dare before (although I am pretty sure it must have formed some part of his childhood) but it certainly struck the right note after some fairly intensive sightseeing around the wilds of Kent and dining in various pubs and cafes today. 

Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood make a slightly unlikely combination but the mixture of Alpine scenario, an extraordinarily complicated plot, lots of explosions and gunfights and a happy ending made for a great evenings viewing for A., his Grandfather and me (despite having to switch to viewing the movie from a digital version to one of Dad’s trusty video cassettes half way through).
