Just watched

It wasn't a restored copy and the picture and sound were a bit worn; given the subject it rather added to the atmosphere. Nice to see the pictures from The Great War as well. They rather cheated by showing a cropped version of HMS Barham blowing up in 1941 as a land explosion.

Foster was playing a dubious American (Aren't they all?*) in Sweeney! the other night, hmmmm....

*This should have been followed by ;O)....

Marlon, Claudia and Dimby the cats 1989-2005, 2007 and 2010.

"a dubious American (Aren't they all?)"

Just a bloody bigot in the end, aren't you now?

Just watched this film for the first time. Some pretty nasty black comedy in there, like Losey stole a little from Lester to twist the knife a little. A bit clunky in the presentation, but there's too many worthy points being made to hold that against the film. Well worth seeing.

Super performances from Bogarde and Courtenay but preferred "Paths of Glory" and "Uomini Contro."
