When they catch her I hope they give her a really big fine and community service.

Was Lance Percival in that? Wasn't he also in Up the Front?

I suppose I should have written "the sow", not "the swine".

Mea culpa.

Isn't swine a generic term?

I suppose so, but probably more used in the plural.

I think I'm on solid ground using the feminine singular.

I’m not so sure, the way things are going “feminine” could be unacceptable!

Ho Hum. It was about what I expected: a strange mix of songs, a hard-to-believe plot and harder-to-believe comedy.

 

Some excellent aviation scenes and old cars, an uninspiring Rock Hudson. A great many people had been assembled for the short medal ceremony.

 

As with "The Sound of Music", the Julie Andrews character sought to flee to Switzerland, but in the end didn't have to.

I'm afraid I fell alseep before the end. It was one of those films where you feel that the actors weren't all appearing in the same film (or at least had the same view of the type of film they were appearing in).

You sum it up well, RM. Started off with Julie singing in a theatre to rapturous applause, then suddenly switched to an aerial dogfight.
