Actors: Clint Eastwood, George
Kennedy, Jack Cassidy, Vonetta McGee, Brenda Venus
Rating: 8 out of 10, This movie
actually stands up to time fairly well. It’s fairly routine spy thriller until
they get to the Eiger and the photography there is nothing short of amazing, especially
since it was obvious Eastwood was doing his own stunts suspended off the side
of the mountain, well before CGI was around. Eastwood plays a college professor
who whacks the occasional spy as a side job to pay for his art collection. George
Kennedy is around in his garrulous sidekick mode which is always fun to watch. Venus
playing the silent mountain climbing daughter could get me to climb a few
mountains as well; easy to understand Henry Miller’s late life fascination with
her.
MVP: Eastwood as Prof Hemlock, mountain
climbing assassin with incredible lady luck
