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

<HTML>Dear Meg,
Honestly, sometimes... LGB wrote the script in a very moody, fatalistic fashion because the option had been dropped by the Amis and he possibly thought that such heavy stuff would go down better with a German film company: after all, he's in the business to make money! What's all the fuss about, we discussed it in e-mails even before aol.
The gun incident is there, and as Stefan says, LGB never liked the idea of Groenemeyer playing himself, it's in the article in GEO which I photocopied in colour for you as soon as I received it, it's in the Goldmann book he wrote on the film. And guess who proofread the dratted sript!! Right the first time, the odd couple of amanuneses who took him on the fascinating trip of technical details. Can't you just imagine poor Mrs B typing her fingers off, while Mrs Blue Eyes went on walks around the lake and Mrs G sunned herself in the garden?
He makes it such heavy going in the end that the Kaleun ceases to have any connection to the real-life model of novel and film.
Regards
