"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Monday movie
Michael Caine, as Oberst Kurt Steiner, challenges the SS in a scene from The Eagle Has Landed.
The only known Nazi with a Manchester accent.
ReplyDeleteWatched the original 1971 version of "Get Carter" last night. Truly wonderful, and not a mumbling Stallone anywhere...
ReplyDeleteNot quite as bad as watching a fat dumpy Englishman playing Inspector Maigret for a whole season.
YoJ: I loved that series. Might as well knock Charlton Heston and Steven Boyd for speaking English in Ben Hur.
ReplyDeleteGood scene, but Paul Scofield had a more convincing German accent in The Train.
