RE: Remake a War Movie?
Re post #29........ JvK Fully agree...the "documentary aspects, if you will, need to be right. Stuff like the mark of Lee-Enfield wrong for its time. {I accept that logistically it has been necessary for WWII tanks to be portrayed by N-48s, say} My particular hate is medals and/or ribbons incorrectly depicted. "Zulu" Sir Maurice Micklethwite's first movie was particularly accurate in its uniform etc treatment, and I believe the drill was spot on.
Re post #30....Dan.... agree on "The Dam Busters as a great movie. Richard Todd, who played WGCDR Guy Gibson VC DSO* DFC* and who died on Thursday aged 90, had paid his dues....he was a paratrooper on D-Day attacking the Orne Bridges.
I understand a new Hollywood version of The Dam Busters is planned. I get a laugh out of the apparent handwringing about the name of Gibson's pooch.
