I loved watching some of the "Alexander Korda" films and was always intrigued with the guy hitting the big bronze cymbal. Four Feathers & Drums were a couple of my favorites. This original Four Feathers is better than the one just released in the past two years.

What was that film called, the one where John Wayne is in Ireland & has a fight that goes all around the village, the woman he was in love with was called Katie?
I love watching that type of film on a sunday afternoon curled up on the sofa.

The Quiet Gentleman, I think, the John Wayne film. With Maureen O'Hara, at a guess, and that cantankerous Irishman who was in the John Huston westerns with him.
Let me offer a film or two as well, then. Any with John Laurie in, saying we're all doomed. Whiskey Galore, perhaps. Or that really odd three-hander with Michael Redgrave being taken over by his monocled dummy.

And the one missing from those war films, made as a training film while the war was on, The Way Ahead. David Niven and Peter Ustinov, with an Eric Ambler script. It might be the finest UK film ever made.
