 The Eagle Has Landed (1976)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The Eagle Has Landed is one of the few films where the all-star cast doesn't have a detrimental effect.
In The Eagle Has Landed, each actor brings depth and charisma to their strongly written roles (especially Sutherland as the devious Irish rogue, and Duvall as an eye-patch wearing Nazi).
For these reasons, The Eagle Has Landed isn't quite the excellent film you might be hoping for.

 Pax Americana-The Eagle Has Crash Landed
The Soviet Union had the world¹s largest land forces, while the U.S. government was under domestic pressure to downsize its army, particularly by ending the draft.
Today, this hawkish position has three expressions: the military assault in Afghanistan, the de facto support for the Israeli attempt to liquidate the Palestinian Authority, and the invasion of Iraq, which is reportedly in the military preparation stage.
Bear in mind that of the three serious wars the U.S. military has fought since 1945 (Korea, Vietnam, and the Gulf War), one ended in defeat and two in draws Saddam Hussein¹s army is not that of the Taliban, and his internal military control is far more coherent.

 Saxon : The Eagle Has Landed - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
After recording four fine studio albums in three years, Saxon had catapulted to the top of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal heap, alongside Iron Maiden and Def Leppard, who were themselves already going strong but had yet to release their American breakthroughs, The Number of the Beast and Pyromania, respectively.
Therefore, the release of Saxon's first live album -- named The Eagle Has Landed after the iconic giant eagle lighting truss which illuminated the band on-stage -- should have been a crowning achievement for the hard-working quintet.
In the end, all this made The Eagle Has Landed a solid offering, but certainly not the caliber of live album which the children of the '70s had grown accustomed to receiving.

 Mystery Guide - The Eagle Has Landed by Jack Higgins   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
No one (not even Higgins himself) has ever come close to equalling this minor masterpiece -- even my sentimental favorite, The Dirty Dozen, is not nearly as tricky, tense, and thrilling as this classic of the genre.
Playing the devil-may-care bog-trotter to the hilt, he manages to fall in love with a young girl named Molly Prior, incur the wrath of a psychopathic giant who has a crush on her, and offend both the local crime syndicate and the parish priest -- all before the main action really begins.
Needless to say, by the time the paratroopers show up things are at a pitch of tension; and after a single freak accident throws the plan awry, the action really starts to snap, crackle, and pop.

Their mission: to drop into East Anglia near the town of Studley Constable, where Abwehr agent Joanna Grey and IRA operative Liam Devlin are waiting to assist in the capture of Britain's wartime leader, and snatch Churchill from the estate where he is staying while on an inspection tour.
Higgins also has the creative chutzpah of injecting a first-person narrator named Jack Higgins, making the book sound like a reporter's expose of a German mission so daring that it had to be covered up by the Allies.
It was followed in the mid-1980s by a sequel, The Eagle Has Flown.
