Picture, Quote, Movie #12
Holy dog shit, Texas! Only steers and queers
come from Texas, private Cowboy! And you don't much look like a steer to me so
that kinda narrows it down! What movie? Two movies about Rommel have the same word in the title and the same actor playing Rommel. This is the one that came second and the portrayal of Rommel is less flattering due to backlash from the first.
1. Twelve O'Clock High (1949)
ReplyDelete2. Full Metal Jacket (1987) --again!
3. The Desert Rats (1953) is the answer, The Desert Fox (1951) is the other movie.
1. Twelve O Clock High
ReplyDelete2. An Officer and a Gentleman.
3. The Desert Rats. James Mason had previously played Rommel in The Desert Fox.
