Swackhamer. The picture was written by Peter S. Fischer and based on the 1968 Anton Myrer novel of the same name.[1] The first and last installments of the seven-part series were each two-hour broadcasts, while the interim episodes were 60 minutes. The mini-series concerns the thirty year careers of two military men, from the outbreak of World War I to the aftermath of World War II. Plot summarySam Damon (Sam Elliott) is a virile and praiseworthy warrior. Courtney Massengale (Cliff Potts) is the opposite—an impotent, self-aggrandizing conniver. Cast
BackgroundOnce An Eagle was the second of four story subseries of the NBC anthology series "Best Sellers"; it was preceded by Captains and the Kings, and followed by Seventh Avenue and The Rhineman Exchange. Anton Myrer's book, on which the series is based, is a military novel written in the United States. The novel is noted for its stark descriptions of men in combat and in its analysis of human and technical challenges and the moral dilemmas of command. It is one of only two novels on the US Army's recommended reading list for Officer Professional Development; the other is The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara. A coincidental element to both novels is that Sam Elliott had a starring role in the film adaptation of each one, playing a US Army general officer.[2] Filming locationsSome of the scenes of the film were filmed in Napa Valley, California. DVD releaseTimeless Media Group released the complete television series on a two-disc DVD set on August 31, 2010. Origin of titleThe title is derived from a Persian poem: And so in the Libyan fable it is told, That once an eagle, stricken with a dart, Said, when he saw the fashion of the shaft, "With our own feathers, not by others' hands, Are we now stricken". — Naser Khosrow {{Citation needed|date=December 2012}} Awards
