I suspect he had no interest in cats.Quote:

its certainly possible, and obviously a cat did exsist that was on british ship, and thus could easily have been on bismark. One of the lucky ones as only about 100+ survived its sinking from a crew of over 2k.
Being a German cat he probably reacted promptly and efficiently when ordered to abandon ship.
The Ballad of Cable Hogue, 1970. No 4k print here but an excellent 2k, 1080p at its very best(see below)

Warner Archive Collection commissioned a new scan, which was performed by Warner's Motion Picture Imaging facility at 2K using a recently struck interpositive. An original 1970 dye transfer (IB) Technicolor answer print was used for color reference; although the answer print itself was battered, Technicolor's dye transfer process is noted for its resistance to fading. The Blu-ray image reflects the care with which MPI has managed the film's many dissolves and superimpositions, which were accomplished optically with the concomitant loss of detail and sharpness and accentuated grain.
Production on the film fell weeks behind schedule due to bad weather. When filming was suspended, director Sam Peckinpah, along with cast and crew, would drink. When filming finally wrapped, the bar bill came to over $70,000 (equivalent to over $483,000 in 2021).
What's up with Kenneth More? My mate used to do a brilliant impression of Douglas Bader doing 'The Twist'. Without Ken's portrayal of Bader that may never have happened.Quote:

I don't know, he just gets on my tits for some reason. And he stars in that terrible re-make of 'The Thirty-Nine Steps' which is an hour and a half of my life I'll never get back.
One of those rare things where it's so bad you keep watching out of sheer disbelief that anyone could have made it let alone put it up for public consumption. Although the best example of that effect is the sitcom 'All About Me' with Jasper Carrott.

The Hitch one is best, the others all do some things well enough but none are in any way gripping enough.
There are a few other Hannah books around same time which are good too. Green mantle comes to mind.
Remakes usually do suck.
I remember seeing the one with Kenneth More, and there is a bit where they were going to Inveraray, and i got quite excited about it, as I have happy memories fishing there. Then he said "This isn't the road to Inveraray!" What a gyp! Then years later I saw another remake, this time with Robert Powell iirc. And guess what? They still didn't get to Inveraray!
I bet they did in the original.
