Roberts (Connery) has a great line later in this film, referring to the King's Rules and Regulations, ie "The Book". "But Queen Victoria's DEAD! It's outa date!!!" That was the main point of the film I thought. EXCELLENT movie, thanks for posting it!

My late Dad who served during the Suez Crisis told me to watch this and then explained that this type of behaviour was "normal"-typical British Army. Drill polish blanco & pointless exercise.The point being that if you thought something was impossible the British Army would prove otherwise.You would learn the hard way but be proved wrong. One Sargeant Major was even trying to grow flowers in the sand around a tent. Hard & tough fuckers tho. Although he said they were mad he had respect for them.

@Spraycando An ANZAC back then would probably frag such an Sargent Major. I love badasses like them though!

Sean Connery aged so fast. He was just 34 during this film, but he looked much older.

They must have had a hell of a long crane for that opening shot!
