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

Morning Cate,
I was just leaving work when your post arrived. Missread Io's posting and 2+2 equalled 5. Must be all that stuff I smoked in the 60's! Anyway I've got the picture now. I'd LOVE to put my hands on the radio dramatisation of HMS Ulysses. Did you hear the drama/doc the BBC aired a few years ago?,I think it was called "Bomber." It covered 24 hours of the war from both sides and was wonderful. For me, radio drama, when properly done has something that tv or film lacks.I think the the picture is better. Big thanks for solving my Richard (Or should it be Dickie?) Briers problem. Friends in high places indeed ! Now to get a copy. I cannot think how I failed to make the Le Carre connection viz a viz Ian Ricardson, (see sentence 3 ) I was thinking of him and a possible Penny Wilton character working together, with her involvement coming as a total surprise close to the end. I have no doubt the lovely Penelope would carry it off beautifully.
I've just read Adam's posting. What a plot. Definately a movie there.
I'm expecting a copy of HMS Ulysses through the mail, courtesy of a kind poster.
I really HAVE to read it again.
