Anyone else recognize the future Mr. Banks?


Did anyone else recognize a young David Tomlinson, the future Mr. Banks of Walt Disney's "Mary Poppins", in a small role as the intelligence officer waiting to supervise the transfer of the prisoner (starting at about minute 35)? Pay attention or you'll miss him! ;-)

No, but I did recognize the future Mrs. Marple of the Agatha Christies mysteries on PBS in the 80's, Joan Hickson. She was one of the two women behind the front desk at the hotel who the bumbling military officers questioned on the Isle of Man. Recognized her immediately, forty years before she played Marple.

You see Peter Jones ( the narrator in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) as a soldier in the pub when Trevor Howard makes his entrance. Also in a non speaking part, Leslie Dwyer ( seen in a hundred British movies), in the station bar as our two lovers are on the run.

What have you heard Shane?
