OMS Attended the local showing last night as I had almost forgotten some of the words. I first watched this film in 55 aged 9, and then again at numerous irregular intervals over the years.
A good night out, even if Dan Snow's blatant pushing of 'his' history to channel got a bit tedious. However, I was delighted to see and hear that the meejah had failed to rewrite history in their own image for once. In the preamble, we were reminded several times that there was racist dialog. Well, I guess if you choose to look at the film with today's apologist glasses on, you could "be offended". For me it was just the name of a bloody dog....Perhaps there should also have been a statement saying that no dogs, Latvian slave workers, nuns or innocent civilians were harmed in the making of the film?
Talking to Senior Management after the event, I reminisced that when I joined up, in 62, most of the orficer corps spoke like like those in the film... 😉Pleased to say she enjoyed it as well.😁
