@Phil5000able - I enjoyed Eiger Sanction more than you, it seems, but I had a comment regarding whether Eastwood did all the climbing. I don't know matter-of-factly, but I suspect there were some substitutions. According to IMDB, one stunt man was killed during filming, not by a fall, but by a falling boulder. Also, in the scene where Eastwood and George Kennedy climb the pillar-like "Totem Pole," look closely at some of the long shots. The climber's hair is noticeably longer than Eastwood's.

@gasdfw5 ... I cannot agree with you more enthusiastically. Over-use of CGI, in effect, is making "cartoons" out of film footage that's supposed to be live/real. It's, it's ... I don't know the words, but I, for one, think such styles of move-making are deplorable. They don't capture my interest at all. I mean, how much "shock and awe" can someone stand before it's just one, big, boring, completely unrealistic blur? As you said: They skipped telling a good story and substituted lots of CGI.

Not one of Clint's best in my view - the plot's very contrived, but I think you're right that they wanted to make a film about mountain climbing and knew it wouldn't sell. As far as I know though he did all his own climbing in the film..

@gasdfw5 My sentiments exactly!

Especially because of the mountain scenes, The Eiger Sanction was one of my favorite Eastwood movies. By the way, the artwork in your office looks unique and pleasing.
