Michael Caine was so handsome in that movie.
Went too the Movies in the 1960s too see it. The worst 60 cents I have ever spent in my Life.
Michael Caine was so handsome in that movie.
Cpl. William Allen: Heave! Put a bit more weight on that rope, you men!
Pvt. John Williams: He’s even got a voice like a corporal!
Pvt. Fred Hitch: Yeah, sort of like a female hippopotamus in labor.
Bromhead: If 1200 men couldn’t hold a defensive position this morning, what chance have we with 100?
Lieutenant John Chard: The army doesn’t like more than one disaster in a day.
Bromhead: Looks bad in the newspapers and upsets civilians at their breakfast.
Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead: Sixty! We dropped at least 60, wouldn’t you say?
Adendorff: That leaves only 3,940.
Bromhead: Fire at will!
Pte. Owen: That’s very nice of him.
Lieutenant John Chard: [the Zulus are chanting before their final charge] Do you think the Welsh can’t do better than that, Owen?
Pte. Owen: Well, they’ve got a very good bass section, mind, but no top tenors, that’s for sure
Lt. John Chard: If it’s a miracle, Colour Sergeant, it’s a short-chambered, Boxer-Henry .45 calibre miracle.
Color Sgt. Bourne: And a bayonet, sir. With some guts behind it.
[Bourne calls the roll after the battle]
Colour Sergeant Bourne: Hitch... Hitch, I saw you. You’re alive.
Pte. Fred Hitch: I am? Oh, thanks very much.
