BROADSWORD CALLING DANNY BOY!"
WHERE EAGLES DARE CINEMA RETRO MOVIE CLASSICS REVISED AND UPDATED
EDITION IS NOW SHIPPING WORLDWIDE!
IF YOU ARE AMONG THE MANY READERS WHO PRE-ORDERED THIS TITLE, IT IS EN
ROUTE TO YOU RIGHT NOW! IF YOU HAVEN'T ORDERED IT YET, DO SO TODAY SO
YOU DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS LIMITED EDITION COLLECTOR'S ITEM!
When we first interviewed producer Elliott Kastner back in 2004, he told
us, "You don't remake Sabrina. You don't remake The Blue Angel. You
don't remake Casablanca and I won't remake Where Eagles Dare."
This is a stance that Cinema Retro has taken in regard to reprinting
sold-out issues of our magazine. However, the response to our Movie
Classics Special Issue #1 dedicated to this great WWII adventure was
beyond our expectations and it sold out almost immediately when
published in 2009. Since then, we have had many requests to republish
and also saw the value of this issue exceed $200 per copy on eBay. Thus,
we've bowed to the wishes of our readers and created an updated and
expanded version of that classic issue. By doing so, we're not devaluing
the original, which will remain a highly prized collector's item. Inside
these pages, you will find the original issue (slightly changed with the
addition of many new, rare photographs) plus new features that were not
available to us at the time of the original printing. Topping it all off
is an exclusive new interview with the film's director, Brian G. Hutton,
plus an abundance of rarities we've just unearthed including another
deleted sequence and original studio memos from the Kastner family files
that shed light on who was supposed to star in the film (you won't
believe it!).
This new edition can be viewed as our sincere tribute to two wonderful
friends who are associated with the film: Elliott Kastner and actress
Ingrid Pitt, both of whom we lost in 2010. We mourn their passing and
hope that this issue will stand as a tribute to their talents and
enduring legacy.
116 pages- a full 36 pages more than the original issue! 52 pages more
than the standard Cinema Retro issue!
Perfect bound format with flat-edged spine
This is a limited edition collector's item...order now to ensure you
don't miss out!
ALL PRICES INCLUDE POSTAGE AND PACKAGING.
USA: $19.95
REST OF THE WORLD: $29.95

Welcome to an exciting new concept for
"Cinema Retro": the
introduction of special magazines that celebrate specific classic and
cult films. We routinely get bombarded with letters and E mails from
readers around the world who suggest extensive coverage of their favorite films. The problem is, of course, is that even our Film in
Focus sections runs only 8 pages – which is certainly enough to do
justice to the average movie, but is woefully inadequate to cover all
aspects of those films that deserve even more extensive analysis. Thus,
we’ll be periodically introducing special stand-alone tribute issues
that will be limited edition collector’s items. As with the regular
issues of Cinema Retro, we anticipate these will increase in value
significantly. We’ve decided to market these separately and not make
them part of our subscription plan. This is to ensure that readers who
do not have enthusiasm for the specific film in question won’t have to
pay for an entire issue dedicated to that movie. However, we feel that
the movies we cover in the special editions will probably have broad
appeal to the majority of our readership.
We’ve decided that our inaugural special edition will be dedicated to a
film that is among the most requested by readers in terms of wanting
extensive coverage. If you’re a fan of films of the 1960s, you don’t
need to be told that MGM’s "Where Eagles Dare" is one of the most
enjoyable movies of that glorious era. The film was a big budget,
slam-bang action adventure – the very first time that novelist Alistair
MacLean had written a thriller directly for the screen. Part spy film,
part war movie, "Where Eagles Dare" was just one of a number of
outstanding movies that made the year 1969 one of the best in the
history of the industry.
Over twenty writers and film historians have collaborated to bring you,
what we believe, is the most definitive story behind the making of this
blockbuster movie. Apart from the wealth of rare behind the scenes
photographs – many taken by cast and crew during filming on location and
at the studio – we have gathered stories and quotes from people like
director Brian G. Hutton, producer Elliott Kastner, stuntmen Joe Powell,
Alf Joint and Bill Sawyer, second unit director Yakima Canutt and his
assistant director Anthony Waye (now a producer on the James Bond
films), art director Peter Mullins – and many more. Also illustrated
with film poster artwork from around the world, call sheets, flyers,
merchandise, tickets and story board and script pages, this is one
tribute to a film you will not want to miss – and our ‘Movie Classics’
issues will be extended to 80 pages for the same price as our regular
64-page magazine!
There will only be 5000 copies printed, and we expect it to be a
sell-out immediately. To be published in June, you can email us now to
reserve your copy. We do not want payment at this stage, but those of
you who contact us will be guaranteed a copy when it is published.
However, you are not obliged, at any time, to purchase the magazine.
