The Eagle Has Landed

Michael Caine, Donald Sutherland

Nazis in a plot to capture Winston Churchill in the final days of the war. Well done action-adventure with a nice mise-en-scene. Some of the stuff here strained credibility a bit too far but the film easily held my attention, largely because of the skill of the players.

Special mention to Donald Pleasance for a spot-on portrayal of Himmler.

Good, diverting fun.
