I always loved this movie. Loved it so much I stayed in this hotel (Kleine Shidig) at the base of the Eiger this month and it looks now just like it did in the movie - amazing! They have some Eastwood photo's on some of the walls. Beautiful hotel - great movie. Most incredible views from the hotel I have ever seen in my life (when we could just get the clouds to move out of the way for a few minutes). - @Wednesday, July 18, 2018 10:36 PM

I couldn't keep up with this film's narrative, it's a bit clumsy and murky. What Jack Cassidy was doing here, I'll never know! He was a good actor and should have been given more to do. Some of the action scenes and having George Kennedy involved, offer compensation. - @Friday, April 20, 2018 10:24 AM

Pretty amazing trailer for its day. I have been to the Eiger, it is full of rocks and looks frightful! Clint Eastwood is such a handsome man, even now with age! He is hot!!! - @Sunday, March 18, 2018 7:23 PM

01:54 the "German" looks so much like a young Mads Mikkelsen, it's scary. I thought it might have been him, until I found out that Mads would only have been 10 years old when this movie came out ... :D - @Sunday, February 18, 2018 5:31 PM
