Once an Eagle (1976–1977)
1/10
Incredibly bad.
6 October 2012
This series or movie stands right up there with Transylvania 6 5000 as a real stinker. Direction, screen play and sets have to be the worst I have seen in 65 years of watching movies. The story line wanders with no believability between scenes or chapters. The actors alternate between warm and fuzzy feeling too unhappy hateful with little rime or reason. The battle scenes where made with no eye to realism in anyway as presented, WW1 trench warfare scenes are very difficult to duplicate and this program represents the worst efforts ever made.

Sam Elliot is a one dimensional actor who excels as the angry cowboy and to play the part of a warm lover is way over his ability. Cliff Potts certainly played the evil, selfish, woman abusing scoundrel to the hilt, to bad the story line was so bad. Glenn Ford was Glenn Ford as usual. Clu Gulager was his usual uninspiring method acting self which would have been OK for one or two scenes but even then he has to be taken with a grain or two of salt.
