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 Robert,
If you can turn your heart into stone and wade through the exchanges i had on another thread with Meg and Cate, you can see my choice: a time-machine would have enabled the casting of Peter Ustinov (on a strict diet!) as Der Alte. In the actual situation, there were about three major German actors, quite as capable as Narbengesicht, and blue-eyed to boot. But it's all rather pointless now, and a might-have-been discussion is not permitted to historians on principle, altough Simon Schama has tried to rehabilitate the field.
You are quite right about the books, it's just that I first stumbled on The Sea Wolves at age eight, and read it on my own without help from Dad again at age ten - you see, my first foreign language was German, not English.
I hope I have answered your questons, and wish you a good start in the month.
Regards
