Is this ever on british TV?
I'd love to see it. The front cover of the paper back I have has Antony Hopkins crouching in an action pose under an old fashioned helicopter. It looks great.

It was on TV (Film 4) a few nights back and looked VERY dated to be truthful.
The music accompanying the cemetery fistcuffs scene is incredibly redolent of Batman and Robin and I can readily see why Sean Connery and Co were never threatened. Having said that, the Air Sea Rescue exploration sequence features some of the most stunning aerial photography I have ever seen cinematically captured and the film is worth watching for this alone
Its one of the better film adaptations of Alistair Macleans' work.... in my opinion the best is The Guns Of Navarone.

Yes, just watching it now. The fightscene was dire! Very enjoyable though. All star cast too, eh?
shareKejaba - I'm watching it on Film 4 + 1 !

Me too! (you're probably the same as me - laptop to hand with IMDB open while you're watching any classic film)
It's on Film4 in the UK; showing a couple of times a week at the moment. Great quality print; seems to be in 15:9(!) with tiny black bars up the sides.
Not a great film, but a really interesting period piece - and Hopkins is great in it, and wholly convincing as a bit of a fighter. His accent varies a bit between dead posh and Cardiff, but you can forgive him because his non-verbal acting in this is spot on.

Don't forget "Where Eagles Dare" that was great too.
shareSo weird you mentioning Where Eagles Dare !
I come form Tobermory on Mull, as a child I remember them filming "When Eight Bell Toll" and seeing all the cast a crew and getting there autograph's,which I still have, but as a treat for the Island the film company put on the film free of charge "Where Eagles Dare" for a week that we could go and see My brother and I went every night to see it we enjoyed it that much I don't even know if it had been released at the pictures then! but the excitement of having the film crew there and all the stuff they were doing was great.
Cool I love when Eight Bells Toll, You can almost smell the sea air.
