In Alexander Korda's The Four Feathers (1939), Miklós Rózsa works so subtly that - unless deliberately diverting one's attention to it - one would be hard pressed to say how much of it is scored. pic.twitter.com/cJNQovCT7X— THE AGENT APSLEY (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) January 2, 2018
Despite the most curiously clipped British accents of John Clements (Harry Faversham), John Durrance (Ralph Richardson) and, especially, Ethne Burroughs (Jane Duprez), a welcome consideration of valour, when, in our times, we inconsistently are asked to call people 'brave'. pic.twitter.com/Kd18MnSYcW— THE AGENT APSLEY (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) January 3, 2018
Assuredly, also, the most lengthily drawn-out joke that involves a pineapple, and maybe John Laurie's casting here as The Khalifa gave rise, in the Dad’s Army t.v. series, to his co-actor Clive Dunn (Lance-Corporal Jones) having an obsession with the Fuzzy Wuzzies, and bayonets ? https://t.co/AGz3dSGWNr— THE AGENT APSLEY (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) January 3, 2018
