[edit] How written
I've mentioned that the Where Eagles Dare novel was written at the same time as the film. Unlike other MacLean works, this wasn't a book-to-movie translation. Observe how there was a film novelisation of the Bond film Moonraker for a comparison which bore no resemblance to the original Fleming novel. In this case MacLean was approached to write the novel for the film. Douglasnicol 13:49, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- MacLean essentially wrote them in tandem. A somewhat better analogy than Moonraker would be Arthur C. Clarke's role in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Wasted Time R 11:59, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Plot summary
Given there's a spoiler warning at the start of the plot summary, I hope there are no objections to me submitting a full plot synopsis rather than the "teaser" currently in place? Brickie 11:15, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
