'broadsword Calling Danny Boy' by Geoff Dyer
Geoff Dyer's earlier book on film, Zona, was about Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker, so it was perhaps inevitable that he should next devote his unique critical and stylistic energies to Brian G. Hutton's Where Eagles Dare. A thrilling Alpine adventure starring a magnificent, bleary-eyed Richard Burton and a dynamically lethargic Clint Eastwood, Where Eagles Dare is the apex of 1960s war movies, by turns enjoyable and preposterous. 'Broadsword Calling Danny Boy' is Geoff Dyer's hilarious tribute to a film he has loved since childhood: it's a scene-by-scene analysis--or should that be send-up?--taking us from it's snowy, Teutonic opening credits to its vertigo-inducing climax.Out of Sheer Rage: Battling with D.H. Lawrence is written by Geoff Dyer. Lawrence, as well as Paris Trance: A Romance and Yet Beautiful: A Novel About Jazz, were all finalists for the National Book Critics Circle Award. He is based in the United Kingdom.
