The deputy headmaster of my lads' school used to go in my pub. He was a leftie who disliked the film intensely as it was less than flattering about the Soviets. Sad.

As my dad said the first time I saw it, Vienna was still in ruins yet the bars were open until 3 am and later whilst back in this country we were still going home at 10.30pm, 10pm on a Sunday. My uncle found the same thing stationed in Munich at the end of the war, observing this lot lost.

Like him as well. Amazing how we were entertained by those as kids 40 years or so later, then our kids and now I have seen my grandkids laughing at them. The only things in black and white they would contemplate watching. Don't think most of the current comedy will age as well.

We were at a wedding in the summer at a 1930s theatre/cinema and as part of the reception, they showed 'Safety last' - complete with a guy playing the score on the Hammond organ. Our boys (8 and 5) were absolutely mesmerized!

The very first Bond was this bloke, American Barry Nelson in a TV version of Casino Royale in 1954. Always wanted that to be a tiebreak question in the pub quiz.<laugh>

Indeed, some of the best films ever made.

Something about this time of year, must be nostalgia, always gets me watching The Phil Silvers Show again.

That was required viewing at the time. My dad always had that on and the Burns and Allen show as he was a big George Burns fan. It is great being able to have a look at a lot of those old shows on YouTube.
Was watching an old cop one about Scotland Yard and the chief character had to go to the doctor's. The first thing the doctor did was offer him a cigarette.

Doctors, smoking and drinking are synonymous aren't they? At least until not too long ago.
