This is my inaugurated film review.
It will, over the years to come, grow into an archive for film and social historians. It will also be a treasure trove of inspiration, memories, and, above all else, entertainment on a global scale.
It will include memorable quotes, cinematic trivia, and my own musings on the film itself, the stars, and the film making fraternity.
All in all, it will be a marvel.
And so to business. Let’s start now with what must surely be regarded as the finest film made in post-war Britain: The Wild Geeses.
Synopsis
Stars Ronald Fraser (pictured above). Scene: Big black chap with an assegai confronted by gay chap played by Kenneth Griffith. Ouch. Berets. Man in aeroplane croaks but gives away secret so plane can land safely. President Lubimbi in backflash. Social progress and an end to racism everywhere when chap stops calling other chap 'kaffir' and starts using term 'bloke'. Almost two hours.
Col's commentary
Excellent.
Next week: The English Patient
