Excellent! I have this one in my video library for the aircraft footage as well as being a hellava film.

Right film, wrong ship methinks Skags, probably Hiryu. The first ever naval engagement where the ships never engaged each other.

All set up by the fateful decode "AF running short of fresh water". . . . . . . . . .

Default And now for something completely different . . .

"I have but three orders of march. When I signal you to come, you come. When I signal you to charge, you charge. When I signal you to run, you follow me and run like hell."

AND, if that doesn't work, try:

"He says he was close enough to smell the stink of many white men."

Big hint: it's not a War Deuce movie.

Bob

I think I know Roger's but I'm having a brain fart right now (been at the Kangaroo reunion all day, too much damned driving to boot).

Bob's quote has lost me entirely.

Try this for the place, the date, the subject and the speaker, some clues are in the give-away missing words, shown correctly for letter count.

Default C'mon, Jif, you can do it!

Hint: this a three-way conversation:

"Move 'em out, Lieutenant."
"Which way, Captain?"
"To Mexico, you bloody idiot?"

Or:

"When I left, Lieutenant Graham, I gave you an order."
"No sir, when you left you gave me a command. After that I gave the orders."

Or finally:

"Mr. Potts, I'm a long way from Gettysburg."

Some of us believe that this is a truly excellent film, very underrated by the film glitterati.

I believe the major was also quoted recently from a speech with "from my cold dead hands".

Default O.K. I'm gonna give ya a hint.

"I'd like to know exactly what connection you think there is between shooting a rifle and ships gunnery".

This film had one title for UK release and a different title for USA release.

It's the only film I've ever seen where a twin 40mm Bofors was fired at a single man.

the only one I can think of is when Jeffrey Hunter is on the island shooting at the ship with a rifle and they shoot back with bigger guns. Released in England as "Single Handed" and in the colonies as "Sailor of the King"

Default Sailor of The King

If this is the movie I think it is he is actualy shooting at a pre-war German friend who is over the side of the ship painting. He knows that it is his friend because of a song that he is singing.

Default Them grammar?

Piece of cake this one! "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon," the centerpiece of John Ford's trilogy about the US cavalry. These were based on short stories written by James Warner Bellah, about the only writer I have ever found who understood that the US Army once had a sense of regimental tradition as strong as that of the British or any Commonwealth army. By the way, when he wrote those stories he was living about a ten-minute walk from where I am sitting now.

No takers on "Mr. Potts, I'm a long way from Gettysburg."

Happy Cgristmas to all!!

Bob
