Couldn't MacBain have got his comeuppance - say by. Mills getting the directorship he deserved , being publicly exposed or at least falling off the train?

Although some of the cast were overage . One of the greatest soundtracks . It showed life as it should have been.and should still be - to hell with the whinging PC! I wish I had been normal.

I remembered the original and am enjoying the remake. Now being rather amused by French soldiers talking about a United Europe, having been previously amused by that pompous officer! Can hardly blame the soldiers for being demoralised with the kind of leadership they'd had!

Really good - Cagney the dynamo , Blundell the beauty, Milland the real louse. Confirms the way the Hays Code tore the guts out of the movies- wish one could remake these old movies with today's technology and different endings.

He wasn't tough enough - hence his misery with Miriam. He was happy to sit back and watch the world go by and I'm glad he ended up basically doing that. I trust he didn't marry the landlady!

One - I'd have been inclined to grant the reprieve and trust to his being kept in jail.

Two - Suzan Farmer "dumpy"? I got her mixed up with Elizabeth Montgomery!

Saw it for first time in decades - better than I remembered. I had a soft.spot for Bedlo - Craven should really have restored him. In fact, pity they couldn't do a sequel.

Curious as to how they get together in the first place. Sorry for Stephanie in that I don't approve of boarding schools but couldn't resist wondering - Tony once lost his temper and spanked his wife. How come he restrained himself with his daughter?

Or really accurate historically. There was never any kind of political threat from the likes of Colin Jordan as his electoral performances later proved. Nor did the NSM ever have many members. And in no way could Rockwell have been described as a respected politician !

Nor did Jordan.have any children .

Excellent and revealing documentary with things I'd never come across before. Especially the FBI allegation that he was a homosexual!

He was a genius who brought pleasure to the world . That more than.makes up for any faults he may have had offscreen.

If Mrs. Ingalls had washed any child of mine's mouth out, I'd have done something very drastic to her. Mrs Oleson as a teacher would have been - interesting!

Unfortunately there were all too many Applewoods around then - and will be whenever they're allowed to use corporal punishment at their own discretion.

Miss Lexington to Duane. Couldn't she have told Bullet to shoot himself or something?

Don't remember it very well.but didn't Malcolm Hebden play a character named Oliver Shawcross? I got £3 for a letter in the Daily Star suggesting Helen Shapiro's Viv as Den's new lover in East Enders.

I doubt the historical accuracy but it wasn't supposed to be a documentary! Just good action packed adventure movie .

I still say Dick shouldn't have let Celia turn his head!

And enjoyed it. Would like to see films like it today - especially with the colour they used then. Looking at the blokes' wives I don't blame them for chasing showgirls!

Slightly unconvincing in that I believe that James would have supported the "Belfast crowd" in real life. Oh - in the first series it was said that Mrs. Bridges was a widow. In this episode that she'd never been married- Mrs was just a courtesy title.

As a libertarian Conservative, I was naturally on the rebels' side. The Whitehall spoilsports should have left one district of free enterprise in a sea of socialism; to me spivs were heroes of free enterprise.

Couldn't have been better! Felt sorry for Ollie having a nagging shrew of a wife. One.thing I'd like to know - why were neither they or.any of their films ever.nominated for Oscars?

Would have liked to see a sequel with Charlie visiting his sister!

Would rather like to know what became of that appalling Lavery family!
