I ain't a-goin' to war. War's killin', and the book's agin' killin! So war is agin' the book!
3. What movie is this?
It was released in 1943 and was directed by the
legendary team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger (The Archers). They also directed the respected “49th
Parallel”. It was the most expensive
British movie made up until then. The
movie was shot in vibrant Technicolor.
It is about as British as you can get.
Although the movie is usually said to be inspired by the comic strip
character, in fact the idea came from a scene cut from The Archers’ previous
film (“One of Our Aircraft is Missing”).
A character says “You don’t know what it’s like to be old”. Film editor and future great director David
Lean suggested a movie be constructed around that line.
Lone Survivor, Hacksaw Ridge, Life and Death of Col. Blimp.

DeleteHacksaw Ridge was an excellent guess. I can picture Garfield reading that line, it makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first read it, my mind said "against" instead of "agin". That makes all the difference. LOL
