BTW; I posted the question if any special operations involved mountain climbing on a history forum. No-one could think of any examples, but we know many special forces units were trained in climbing.
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!

Films, I can't really remember much of it
Re: war movies. Perhaps for another time, but Sean Connery - who, like Gert Frobe, had been cast in a small part in 'The Longest Day' (1962) - returned to the star-studded 'true story' genre of epic war films for Richard Attenborough's 'A Bridge Too Far' (1977), playing Major-General Urquhart in one of the more memorable performances of the movie. Connery's Urquhart is a traditional hero (like Bond) but with an engaging touch of vulnerability (he's a commander of the airborne division who's afraid of heights!), and he's shown bravely enduring a military defeat explained in the film as a tragic consequence of shortcomings by back-room planners at home: that sense of thwarted heroism interestingly reflected Connery's real-life exasperation (about which he often went public) with any 'big shots' in the film industry he regarded as incompetent or as letting the side down. Also: 'Battle Of Britain' (1969) was another war movie in that star-studded 'true story' strand of the genre: missing Connery, but with his friend Michael Caine on form, plus Robert Shaw; with Guy Hamilton directing and Harry Saltzman co-producing.
Like Michelle in 'Allo 'allo I rarely repeat myself, but this time I will:
If we change Tuesday's movie to DN, are there any members in adition to those who origionally signed on for Navarone who will join us in watching DN? If I change the plans it has to be done tonight or tomorrow morining at the latest, so swift/quick/hasty/rapid/speedy feedback is apriciated.

I may have read your timings wrong with 'summer time', however please check to make sure.
There will be no difference between Paris time and UK time. UK time moved to GMT last week!
I cannot join in as I will be at my work.
I thought so! I just edited my message too!
