Day 7 Land and Freedom. One of the better films on the SCW. A period I have always fancied having a go at.

My father tried to volunteer to go to fight in Spain but they told him to bugger off as he was to young.

“Let’s call it 12 O’Clock High and have Gregory Peck toke on a roll-up for the poster.”

I am not sure about the blurb either.

It's been a while since I last watched it, but I don't recall seeing any women in the film.

That's why they didn't know them.

Sometimes buggers can't be choosers.
Wargames dreams never die, they just get left in a box.
