As an aside, whenever anyone tells me,

'you're late'

I always reply out of habit, 'one day I won't come at all.' wink

If there's a hole in something I always find myself saying 'But what the hell, a hole is a hole is a hole'.

I fell in love with Ingrid Pitt as a youth and, as Richard Burton says, what a fabulous disguise.

I'm watching it now on catch-up, and Richard Burton said that line as I read your post. smile

It's a fantastic film. I'm going to dig out The Wild Geese later to really annoy the missus hehe

Weird how Hollywood shows such old actors playing parts that were usually done by guys in their 20's
