I always liked this movie although after repeated screenings I can nearly repeat dialogue.
Interestingly, enough I always had the impression that director Brian G Hutton had died young because after Where Eagles Dare and Kelly Heroes I was not aware of any other films that he had directed.
However, apparently he is still with us and after High Road to China with Tom Selleck he gave up directing and any involvement in the film industry to become a plumber. Would be interesting to know his story and why he decided on a career change.
