CraigA Posted April 22, 2002 Posted April 22, 2002 I just got done watching "The Eiger Sanction". Good movie, a little slow in parts, but good. I thought the mountain looked familiar so I went to the file cabinet and found a TR I printed about a year ago. It's one of the best reports I've read and I thought some of you might like it. Check it out if you haven't seen it already. One day I'll have to try that mountain myself! http://www.climbing.ie/exped/eiger/eiger.html Enjoy, Craig Quote

CraigA Posted April 23, 2002 Author Posted April 23, 2002 I guess I just felt like the whole story took a little long to set up. But I'd still give it 4-stars Craig Quote

But I'd still give it 4-stars Craig I only remember waiting too long for George's (Brenda Venus) dazzling display of mammalian perfection, to which I had been previously alerted. Now thank God for that frame-by-frame advance feature on my VCR's remote. Those aren't to be missed. Hotcha! As for the rest of the movie, what a splendid synthesis of smart-alecky dialogue with manly adventure. Must say that Gregory Walcott gives a stellar performance, and the mysterious beauty of Dragon's courier (Vonetta McGee) inspired one of my more experimental romantic episodes. Quote
