I'll assume it is and I'll do something different

Recognize this castle and river from any film?

Morlar · 29-09-2011 11:11AM

Trim castle - used in 'the Big Red One' with Lee Marvin. The redux edition.
* River Boyne.

Correct sir

That's me done

No, not Sophie Scholl. A is a non english language movie from fairly recent years.

A is correct ( I will have to stop using v easy ones) B is not correct.

B is a czech movie that I havent seen, I believe it relates to Czech involvement in North Africa (particularly Czech Infantry Btn. 11).

Morlar · 30-09-2011 01:32PM

Another clue for B is 'To Be or not To Be'

Tony EH · 30-09-2011 02:48PM

Tobruk

Morlar · 30-09-2011 02:53PM

It is indeed - ok over to you.

Tony EH · 01-10-2011 06:45PM

Ok, these may be a bit hard....

A.

B.

The first one is about Buster Crabb doing mine clearence in Gibralter, Lawerence Harvey played Crabb.

Tony EH · 05-10-2011 02:01PM

Yes, but do you know the name of the film?

roundymac · 05-10-2011 02:08PM

It's rattling around in my brain somewhere, can't think of it right now, will probably wake up in the middle of night after thinking of it and won't be able to go back to sleep. It was on the telly again only last week.:mad:
