Summary: Classic and awesome movie!
Comment: You can never go wrong with Clint Eastwood! I love this movie, the espionage story and the European scenes. Many people don't know that Clint Eastwood performed his own stunts in this movie since he was a real Mountain climber and assumed all high risk shots for the movie!! Highly recommended and the supporting actors including Keneddy are all aces!

Summary: good eastwood pic
Comment: Good movie if you are an Eastwood fan..Plot is not real clear, but if you like Clint and George Kennedy, it's worth watching
Customer Rating:
Summary: 5-star movie, but...
Comment: Great movie, one of my favorites. Clint is always enjoyable in these roles.
The DVD has one annoying aspect, however, common to many DVDs produced before the era of HD -- when viewed on an HD player or up-converting DVD unit via Component or HDMI inputs, the movie is presented as letterbox inside of a 4:3 format. On a wide screen HDTV this means that the picture is significantly inset and does not fill the screen. A nit-picky issue, to be sure, but most annoying in the era of big, wide-screen HD.
If they ever reissue this title, I hope they redefine the format to be true wide-screen.

Summary: Eiger Sanction
Comment: Excellent movie. Authentic climbing sequences are unusual for a movie. One of my all-time 20 favorite movies.
Customer Rating:
Summary: An Eastwood classic
Comment: Truly a classic: groundbreaking (at the time) climbing footage, suspense, and more one liners than any other Eastwood film. If you're an Eastwood fan who hasn't seen this film (and a surprising number probably haven't) then do yourself a favor and add it to your cart right now; you won't be disappointed.

Editorial Reviews:

Clint Eastwood plays James Bond in some unlikely mid-1970s casting. Eastwood directed himself as an art teacher (!) who is actually a government operative (!!). But when an American agent is assassinated in Europe, he's called out of retirement to put the hurt on the men who did it. Based on a novel by Trevanian, the film winds up with Eastwood climbing a mountain in Switzerland and playing a game of kill-or-be-killed with one of his targets. Some decent action, but also a lot of filler. Still, the cast includes George Kennedy and the late Jack Cassidy, whose sharklike smile was perfect for playing a professional killer. --Marshall Fine
