Kind of a goof or is it something to do with the character's name portrayed by Allan Cuthbertson ?    Posted:   Apr 14, 2015 - 6:24 AM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) The references to the political background of Stanley Baker's character were deleted from the spanish release copies.

Kind of a goof or is it something to do with the character's name portrayed by Allan Cuthbertson ? Well I never...! I might have to take it back - will need to watch it again for the exact context. That's like a minor character called "Connery" popping up in Thunderball...    Posted:   Apr 14, 2015 - 6:51 AM     By:   Grecchus   (Member) "Close your eyes, pull the trigger and think of England!" said Niven, while up to his neck with Peck.    Posted:   Apr 14, 2015 - 9:49 AM     By:   John B.

Enter a young Richard Harris, making a memorable impression. This was the movie all the guys were loving in my youth. (Later, in prep school, it was THE GREAT ESCAPE.)    Posted:   Apr 23, 2015 - 4:09 PM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) Couldnt leave Mallory and Miller and Andrea way back on page 3. !    Posted:   May 2, 2015 - 12:33 AM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) Hope hitoshi is alright - recent batch of quizzes left incomplete.

Having seen the film - at the cinema on re-run(s) and on TV - I bought a VHS copy: it was a poor P&S version, awful colours, etc. and with dialogue edited. When a restored version was released a few years later I was interested to watch the (short) documentary which detailed the restoration (e.g. getting the light right in the early scenes which had been filmed day for night) and with regard to the dialogue I think the restorers had to find a soundtrack from overseas. As a result all of the bloody descriptive words were back for us to hear ... ... so when I played the film a short while later, my young son asked Is it the bloody version we're going to watch? There's no answer to that ... ... howver it did generate a wonderful family get-together anecdote!

I could be wrong and memory playing tricks but Im sure i saw it before any extras on a dvd! Glad you are ok hitoshi.     Non-Film Score Discussion: THE GUNS OF NAVARONE    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1
