WW2 Movies

eraserhead rules.

Unless your of the generation there is no way you would comprehend GWTW.

Retaking the original treat, I recall two movies, one was with Richard Burton acting as a german seargent, it started on the Russian front and ended up in Normandy (or something like that) Don't remember the name...

And other was based on one of Sven Hassel books (it was made in Spain or in Denmark) The Misfit squadron?...

It was some years ago...

there was also a mini-series made in the then USSR...

What generation, the Civil War generation? ;-)

John Hairell

i am and i think it is crap history from pop trash literature. well made but dull.

The author of GWTH (Margaret Mitchell?) wanted a particular actor to play the part of Rhett Butler. The studio vetoed her request without any discussion.

Name the actor?

Tom

David Merriam?

Errol Flynn

This probably was "Breakthrough", the continuation to "Cross of Iron" (aka "Steiner - Das eiserne Kreuz, 2. Teil"). The original had James Coburn as Sgt. Steiner.

Ronald Reagan?

Noby has him yet.

Not even in the ball park.

That's why it's one of my favorite trivia questions. :-)

Tom

Gone With the Wind. Continuing on from another OT thread, but at least a fun one.

Care to guess?

Think: "Bizarre but true".

Tom

I think it should be "GWT_W_ Trivia Question"

Bill Banaszak, MFE

OOOOOH!

Closer.

But still no cigar.

Could that be a clue?

Maybe. Maybe not.

Tom

I doubt this is the answer,but I know George Reeves had a small part...

"Gary Cooper screen tested and was offered the role of Rhett Butler but turned it down"...

Groucho Marx?

(The mind boggles at *that* thought...)
