The Longest Day
Just noticed it's back on the T.V. on film4,
That means it will be shown several times over the next few weeks, so no panic to try and catch it first time around.:D Got to say though, it is an absolutely fantastic, star studded film, it's supposed to have been the most expensive B&W film ever made, worth every penny though. |
Re: The Longest Day
Cheers for the heads up, Less. Remember my Dad taking me to see it at the Odeon on Broadway. Was well impressed, but never seen it since. Looking forward to that!

Which one? They were late for both, but without their input can you accurately state what the results would have been? |

So, your answer is no, I can't accurately state what would have happened without their input, because like the rest of us, you live in a world that had a couple of major conflicts they did get involved in.
Would you like to invite the Germans to a replay so long as we promise we will not allow the Americans to join in on our side? In fact if you are really confident of a win for our side, we will let them have the yanks as substitutes halfway through the match and we will throw in all the troops supplied by the Empire just to make sure we prove we can do it on our own. I am proud of all that fought in the conflicts to ensure my freedom, even if some of them did chew gum! :) |

Re: The Longest Day
Come to think of it, the Russians put more effort into both world wars than the yanks did.
However ... I first saw the movie in Paris (school trip) under the title of "Le Jour de Plus Long". And it's wrong to be too critical of the Americans. As Churchill observed: "You can always count on the Americans to do the right thing ... after they have tried everything else.";) |

I wouldn't have dared mentioned the Russians, after all in the first conflict match was abandoned because of slight disagreements within their own supporters club. As for their involvement in the second a bit of a surprise for them when the Germans invaded their pitch during their dividing the spoils of Poland whilst licking their wounds from losing what should have been a walk over in a friendly against Finland where they had a team of something like ten players to one. :( |
Re: The Longest Day
I didn't say no, but jerry found out to his cost that he couldn't beat us fighting so he's changed his tactics, he's now got us by the goolies with politics, they now rule more than they ever hoped in two WW's, aided by the very people who cried to us for help.

The Longest Day
Well, it was on again today, thought I'd watch it again just to see the result (a bit like plenty of folk watch the 1966 World Cup).
The most annoying thing about it is that despite it being 70 years since they lost, the Germans insist on talking in sub-titles, why haven't they learnt anything from their mistakes? Speak English and you'll win the next one! ;) |
