PICTURE, QUOTE, MOVIE QUIZ #54


1.  What movie is the picture from?

2.  What movie is this quote from?

I'm just getting started. You're gonna stay right here and get a bellyful of flying. You're gonna make every mission. You're not air exec anymore. You're just an airplane commander. And I want you to paint this name on the nose of your ship: Leper Colony. Because in it you're gonna get every deadbeat in the outfit. Every man with a penchant for head colds. If there's a bombardier who can't hit his plate with his fork, you get him. If there's a navigator who can't find the men's room, you get him. Because you rate him.

3.  What movie is this?

 It was released in 1963 and was a huge hit and has grown in popularity over the years.  It is the most famous movie in its subgenre.  The film was directed by John Sturges and is based on the nonfiction book by Paul Brickhill.    The main screenwriter was James Clavell who spent time in a Japanese prison camp and later the screenplay for “King Rat”.  One of the tunnelers (Wally Floody) served as a technical advisor.  Donald Pleasance was a prisoner in Stalag Luft 1 during the war.

  2. Just discovered this blog, so I'm working my way backwards, so this is a very tardy replay. Anyway, the only time I ever saw Casablanca was a retro showing in a theater. However, it was projected to fit the width of the modern screen, so the top and bottom of the old narrow image were cut off. In the scene pictured, I had to infer she'd pulled a gun on Bogie by his reaction.
