THE EIGER SANCTION opens. Directed by Clint Eastwood. Written by Hal Dresner, WAlter B. Murphy and Rod Whitaker. From the novel by Trevanian. Eastwood stars as an art professor-cum-government hitman who is enjoined to take out a Russian killer hiding out with a climbing team on titular Swiss mountain. Curiously pedestrian, by the numbers non-thriller enlivened only by the odd vertiginous climbing sequence. With George Kennedy, Jack Cassidy and Vonetta McGee.
