Just spotted that 'A Canterbury Tale' is showing on Talking Pictures at 5pm in what I think is fairly rare outing in more recent years (although being very much in this channels repertoire, perhaps this and the others will now be shown more often - can but hope) NigelS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 4 August , 2020 Share Posted 4 August , 2020 "Listen to Britain" and "Words for Battle"- Both appeared, relatively recently, on the excellent TPTV, and seem to be cropping up again, from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilB Posted 5 August , 2020 Share Posted 5 August , 2020 Looks like the film was not popular with the establishment:- “Livesey was chosen by Michael Powell to play the lead in The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943) after Powell was denied his original choice, Laurence Olivier (Winston Churchill had objected to the movie and the Fleet Air Arm refused to release Olivier, who had been a Hollywood movie star before returning to England to take a Navy commission)”.

jontee Posted 5 August , 2020 Share Posted 5 August , 2020 Many of the films listed on this forum are investigated by www.reelstreets.com from the point of view of locations used. Where did they film that? 2400 films, 90,000 comparative stills, FREE. JohnTee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradley Posted 15 August , 2020 Share Posted 15 August , 2020 `King and Country` just watched. The acting superb and harrowing stuff indeed. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndySmith Posted 15 October , 2020 Share Posted 15 October , 2020 Yep...'Blimp' wasn't well liked by 'the establishment' at the time. Is there anyone of you out there who just wanted to punch that smug, shouty Lieutenant in the vizzog...Clive Candy had the best idea by pushing the young snottie into the Turkish plunge bath...bang on, sir! Bang on! And war starts at midnight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
