Quite a good war film this, but with a difference, and is partly based around real characters, although they were not nessessarily connected.
The story of the Jewish woman Rachel Stein in Zwartboek is based on Dutch resistant fighter Esmée van Eeghen. Van Gein was based on the lives of Ans van Dijk and Andries Riphagen. Notary Smaal is based on the unsolved murder of 65-year-old lawyer H. de Boer in The Hague on 30 May 1945 (shortly after the liberation). During the war, de Boer appeared to have maintained good contacts with the German Sicherheitsdienst.
Yes, it's an interesting film.
Shout at the Devil, 1976. directed by Peter R. Hunt and starring Lee Marvin and Roger Moore. Based 'very loosely' on real events; ie, the sinking of the SMS Königsberg.

Film critic Roger Ebert thought that "Shout at the Devil is a big, dumb, silly movie that's impossible to dislike. It's so cheerfully corny, so willing to involve its heroes in every possible predicament, that after a while we relax: This is the kind of movie they used to make, back when audiences were supposed to have the mentality of a 12-year-old. It's great to be 12 again."
Excellent film overall. Escapism I suppose but mostly good fun, although with a violent twist
I agree. I liked it a lot and Barbara Parkins was gorgeous!Quote:
