Journalist and writer Tony Earnshaw joins us for a post-screening discussion. Tony is the author of Fifty Men in the Valley of the Shadow – The Making of The Wild Geese, a 316-page book chronicling the production of the rip-roaring action classic. The book draws on interviews conducted over 25 years with producer Euan Lloyd, director Andrew V. McLaglen, stars Roger Moore, Hardy Kruger, and Frank Finlay, as well as stuntmen Clive Curtis, George Leech, and Jazzer Jeyes, and many more. Returning to cinemas in stunning 4K. Screen legends Richard Burton, Roger Moore and Richard Harris star as a team of ageing mercenaries hired by a wealthy industrialist for one final mission: Recruit and train a squad of desperate commandos, parachute into an unstable African nation, snatch its deposed President from a maximum-security prison, escape via the military-controlled airport and massacre anyone who gets in their way. Reaching the target will be murder, but getting out alive may be impossible. Hardy Kruger and Stewart Granger co-star in this explosive action classic produced by Euan Lloyd and directed by Andrew V. McLaglen from a screenplay by two-time Oscar® nominee Reginald Rose.
