Movies and Films
Good morning Meg,
First of all it's lovely to hear from you again. Thank you for the insights into JP'S portrayal. I quite liked the sniffing, I don't know why. Maybe it was such a unique 'piece of business' for an actor to use.
It would have been so easy for Prochnow to go down the 'U-Boat Vorwarts' route ie. Firm set heroic jaw, Spotless white cap etc. God I'm glad he didn't !
Small qualification. Noreen didn't fall for him until he grew his beard. Once that happened she was hooked.

This is the forum for Movie and Film discussions. Again, our topic is naval warfare in WWII for the most part.
