This was a war movie; however, war = action.
One of the BEST and still enjoy watching after these many years.

“Where Eagles Dare”

I always get a chuckle out of that one. The lead, Richard Burton, is a Brit. His character is a Brit. They both speak like Brits. Yet he was sent on a mission to infiltrate a German fortress to liberate an Allied general.

Yet at no point does Burton speak with anything but a Brit accent. Even when he is on the phone speaking with a German general trying to prove/validate his false identity.

"I'm Richard Buuuuurton, damn you. I've done Shakespeare for the Queen and I'll play this part as I damned well please."
