Signed by Geoff Dyer directly to the title page.
A thrilling Alpine adventure starring a magnificent, bleary-eyed Richard Burton and a coolly anachronistic Clint Eastwood, Where Eagles Dare is the apex of 1960s war movies, by turns enjoyable and preposterous. 'Broadsword Calling Danny Boy' is Geoff Dyer's tribute to the film he has loved since childhood: an analysis taking us from its snowy, Teutonic opening credits to its vertigo-inducing climax.
Condition
A good plus copy. There is a small dent to the fore-edge of the front board, and some light marking to the green cloth. There are a few minor spots of foxing to the pages' fore-edge but otherwise a clean, solid copy, and retaining the wraparound band from Hatchards.
