James Bond’s throwing is always a high -level, and many interesting names have been linked to the role over the years. We often leaked that we did not get Oliver Reed as 007, but I can definitely live without Rex Harrison, Dick Van Dyck, Adam WestAnd Mail Gibson Applications of super spy. At the time of writing this report, you can get 1/2/1 possibilities on Gerard Butler, Adam Driver, or Steve Coogan wears the following Tuxedo if you are a gambling type. All the terrible ideas, but what about Clint Eastwood a day? According to what was presented on the opportunity after George Laznby’s single transformed in “in the service of the secret of the secret of the secret,” but he refused this because he felt that the role was still belonging to Sean Connery, who has already formed the role in “Diamonds” forever.

It is likely that we are closer to seeing how to explain the Eastwood that was interpreted by the Ian Flement Suvedoice agent after the disappointment of Connery’s disappointing return to the privilege. This movie was “The Eigher Sanction”, based on the best -selling novel of 1972 written by Trevanian, a cinema teacher, nicknamed and secret author of Pulp Fiction, Rodney Williams Whittaker. Although Eastwood admitted that he was not really interested in spying, the guidance and heroism in the photo gave him an opportunity to get out of his contract with UNIVERSAL and work away from the eyes of the Executive Telemen in the studio. To the last point, the “The Eger Santress” features some of the most amazing and original mountain climbing scenes that adhere to the cellular, which was filmed on the Monument Valley and the frightening northern face of EIGER.

It was released in 1975, “The Eiger Sanction”, achieved a frightening return at the box office and got mixed reviews. Roger Ebert described the plot as “unlikely and confused”, but praised the climbing of realistic mountains, while Pauline Kyle (who loved Eastwood) described it as “farce.” After 50 years, it may be clear why it was not a decisive and commercial success at the time. The film is very strange, as the first half is played like a satirical simulation of James Bond clicks before turning into a straight adventure in the same face as soon as we reach the serious actions of peak treatment.

Eastwood plays the role of Dr. Jonathan Hemuk, a professor of art history in mountain climbing and has an expensive taste in black market paintings. In the past, he funded this hobby by a moonlight as a C-2 fighter. This dark setting is run by the evil director of the evil man, Dragon (Ther David), a former sensitive Nazi who is alive through blood transfusion in his dark/hidden office. Dragon approaches the Shukran with a classic last job. The C-2 Codenamed Wormwood customer was killed by killers in Zurich to get a microfilm containing a germs war formula. Dragon wants to run “punishment” on the killers.

Hemlock is partially accepted by Dragon, reluctantly accepts the party and quickly follows below the first killers in Zurich, and sends it with small pressure. On the way back to the United States, he was seduced by a hostess called Jemima Brown (Vonetta McGEE), which turned out to be working with Dragon. It steals his safe, and left the Shukran without any option except to accept another penalty for the second aggressor in Wormwood-negotiations made it easier when Dragon reveals his delay that Wormwood was Hemlock Buddy Old War Buddy.

There is an obstacle, however. Dragon Intel does not have the identity of the second killer, but he knows that the man will be part of an international team that is preparing to expand the deadly northern face of EGER. The mountain of Shukran has twice foiled before, so it goes to the Arizona desert for some training with his friend and climbing partner (George Kennedy). Things increase complicated by a attractive female killer and the presence of Miles Milv (Jack Cassidy), another former friend Khan Al -Shakran during the Korean War.

Once Hemlock arrives in Switzerland and meets his climbers, the challenge of eradicating his goal while trying to stay on one of the world’s world’s mountains in the world. The only evidence of the identity of the killer is that the witness described it as walking with a lame, which does not seem to apply to either of the team. Once they wake up on the face of the abyss, they all behave appropriately enough enough to keep us in guessing until their paid climax.

The negative critics of “The Eigher Santress”, “The Loo Sanction”, described the insufficient books of bonds. Rodney William Whitaker claimed that they were a satirical simulation. When the first novel was published in 1972, the chain of bonds was already deviating towards the self -body, and it is not clear whether anyone got that Whitaker was deliberately intended to coordinate 007. At least from CF Estowood.

Eastwood is certainly not previously sent his character the difficult screen, as we saw when he played the starring role alongside Orangean after a few years. “Each method but loose“But humor was never his strong view as a director or actor, and he plays” EIGER “is very straight. This may be the place where the strange tone of the film arises. The excellent work of the land and the amazing photography in the worlds of other great excitement for an era like”Three days of CondorAnd “the view of the scene”, which sits in conflict with elements similar to the link in the first half.

What is the first half. If you think the bond privilege is a problem sometimes, wait for you to get a load of this. The accumulation leisurely work is full of sexual, racist and homosexual jokes, including a pet dog named after a very offensive attack. One may argue that he governs similar situations in the early bond chain, but this does not feel very convincing thanks to Eastwood’s Tin Ear for comedy dialogue. It also dominates it amazingly as a Shukran, as he plays a supposed killer and a professor like a slight contrast in Harry’s dirt.

Humor in the first half has an unfortunate influence to make mountain climbing sequences feel very flat. This is a real shame because Eastwood has made great efforts to make it as authentic as possible, as it is undergoing training and shooting on the same EIGER. The decision proved that he was almost fought and canceled when a climber was killed in a rocky fall, but the crew member insisted that his death should not be for nothing. Eastwood also took his life in his hands with a dangerous trick at the height of the movie, which is one truly saturated moment in the entire movie. “The EGER FANSTION” is a very defective movie, but it proves at least one thing: Clint was right to refuse James Bond.
