The only SS in Nortn Africa were a very few Security Police (SD) in Tunis. The Waffen SS were not deployed in North Africa. The SS officers shown in this clip are a complete anachronism - but then, American and British war movies of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s often are riddled with historical in...

@sekailover I agree that people should stop abusing each other here; however I don't agree that there shouldn't be discussion because the war is long over. Its a topic worth debating - BUT, please, let's be civilised about it. Just for the record, Hitler attacked the Soviet, his ally, without an...

Is this available on DVD? Thanks.

@Xylarxcode I agree - very, very clever writing. How badly spoken French might sound to a Frenchman. Goodness knows what my French sounds like......'Good Moaning.' LOL

@nimaxx38 - American rebels usually lost military engagements. What held the British to a draw (they didn't lose) was the intervention of the French and the Spanish. America owes its independent to France (something people might remember before they start talking about 'Freedom Fries' and boyco...

Excellent. Very atmospheric.

Uniforms of the time varied - as indeed they do now. The British wore white green, red, blue - depending on the Unit and situation. Same for every army. Also, Rebels (forgive my term - I'm a British 'loyalist' LOL) wore a range of colours because of logistical and organisational limitations.

Are these songs on a CD I can buy? Thanks.

Excellent. Street music like this is so natural. I'm a great fan of 'medieval music'. Was this at a medieval festival of some sort?

Unreliable, irrelevant capability and very expensive. Buy more Pershings instead. Or even Shermans - if you want to win a war, rather than a single engagement.

A people's greatness is not measured by conquest and slaughter. What positive legacy did the Mongol invasions leave? Writing, agriculture, medicine, art etc - that's civilisation. And while, sadly, force of arms sometimes is needed to protect civilisation, force of arms is not in itself a worth...

Please tell me where that excellent battle scene is from. It’s the first time I have ever seen an accurate film portrayal of Roman tactics and battle drill. Hollywood always depicts free for alls - which of course is the point at which the Roman army has lost it. (That dreadfully wrong battle sc...

This is a scene from the 1958 film adaptation of Charles Dickens' book “A Tale of Two Cities", directed by Ralph Thomas. In my opinion the best film or TV adaptation made to date. It deals with the issues very sensitively and clearly. I agree with rdsanchez1966 that supporting the American Reb...

Well, its better German than mine. LOL I think this would have been much better if he'd spoken his native English and put on subtitles. Bitte........

JeanGery020: good film, and well played. You can't help sympathising with the character as portrayed but in reality what little we know tells us that Lady Jane was complicit in a plot to undermine the lawful government and perhaps plunge the country into bloody cvil war. Please note that Quenn...

We did extensive studies in the 1980s; if you used every single nuclear weapon on the planet, and they all worked, and you used them in such a way as to maxmium deaths, casualties directly attributable to nuclear weapons effects would not top one billion. Grim but about 25% of the world's popul...
