Film alert - about to start

[Bezzo]

Anyone in UK wishing to watch "Zulu Dawn" on Channel 5 should know it starts at 6.00pm (about 27 minutes time).

Okay it is not "Zulu" but it is not that bad.

A pity about Robert Mitchum, though............

I think it's better than Zulu (!).

What about him?

I like it too. Good film. I'm not sure which I like better. Depends on what kind of film I'm in the mood for. The atmosphere of the two is quite different.

[M Blakey]

Great film!

Jimbibbly said exactly the same thing yesterday...

I think, for me, the difference is, I've only seen Zulu Dawn once, at the cinema, when it came out. Whereas Zulu, I've only seen - oooh - 200 - 300 times?

Channel 5 is the blacked out channel for HBO on the old non-digital channels.

[OSHIROmodels]

It would be the epitome of stupidity considering that Durnford had the full quota of two arms right up to his death, and as far as I know still has two to this day, unless worms have eaten them.

[joroas]

Oh!  That explains why Kirk Douglas, the other half of the double act, was not in it.  

[OSHIROmodels]

Method acting eh? 

cheers

Plynkes, you need to tell Empress, their Durnford only has one arm:
