Up on your feet. Next man. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
Right, you'll do. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
When faced by an armed and determined enemy, first you... | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
And either you bash him one or stick him in the belly. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
If you want to be real nasty, you... | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
-ALL: -Tread on his blank-blank fingers! | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
Right! | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
Next man. You'll do. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
Let's try again. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
Let someone else have fun. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
-Proper airborne, weren't ya, Canada? -Didn't you hear me, Evans? | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
What about the others? I'm not selfish. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
Come on. Right. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
When faced by an armed and determined enemy, first you... | 0:03:01 | 0:03:06 | |
Either you bash him one or stick him in the belly. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
If you want to be real nasty, you... | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
-ALL: -Tread on his blank-blank fingers. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:16 | |
Right! Gordon. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
He's leavin' himself wide open. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
I am, am I? | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
Come on. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
When faced by an armed and determined enemy, first you... Ooh! | 0:03:31 | 0:03:35 | |
Just a minute. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
What's your name? | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
McKendrick, sir. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:49 | |
The army appreciates you donating free hand-to-hand combat lessons. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:54 | |
The army already has a manual, based on experience in real fighting | 0:03:54 | 0:04:00 | |
Co-operate with instructors, refrain from gymnastics. Is that clear? | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
Yes, sir. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
Who's that new geezer? | 0:04:07 | 0:04:08 | |
I never seen him before. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
-TUTS: -He don't seem to like Canada. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
Fall out. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
Carry on, Sergeant. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:18 | |
Yes, sir. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:19 | |
If you can. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
Next man. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
How long is it now, Flash? | 0:04:33 | 0:04:34 | |
I was born up here! | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
That sergeant must be Dracula's big brother. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
I'm afraid it's my fault. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:42 | |
And you ain't even queasy. How come, Canada? | 0:04:42 | 0:04:46 | |
I'm a roller-coaster man myself. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
That's it, sir. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:55 | |
Thanks. It was instructive. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
Thank you, sir. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
If a little barbarous. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
Excuse me, sir. As you've only just arrived here, sir, and I've...well... | 0:05:03 | 0:05:09 | |
Yes? | 0:05:09 | 0:05:10 | |
Someone who knows the place might be useful, sir. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
For instance? | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
You'll need a second in command for your stunt. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:20 | |
"Stunt" is a word I won't apply to a military operation. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
The chief instructor said he'd put a word in. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
He did. It's a word I wouldn't care to use, but we'll see. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:32 | |
"A falling object descends at the rate of 32 feet a second... | 0:05:35 | 0:05:40 | |
"accelerating to the maximum speed of 176 feet a second." | 0:05:40 | 0:05:46 | |
Blimey, that's descending. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
You'll be all right, Alf, as long as you land on your big head | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
Green light on. Action stations, number one. And... | 0:05:52 | 0:05:57 | |
Hold it! > | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
What are you doing up there? | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
Practising. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:06 | |
To be polite to a regimental sergeant major, address him as "sir" | 0:06:06 | 0:06:11 | |
Practising, sir. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:12 | |
GET DOWN BEFORE I THROW YOU IN THE GUARDROOM! | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
Two volunteers to put him on his bed. You and you. At the double! | 0:06:16 | 0:06:21 | |
Ooh, my leg. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
So, you're what they're turning out as soldiers these days. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:35 | |
I wanted to see for myself. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
Hm. Mm-hm. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
A horrible lot of little men. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
Well, thank God we've still got a navy. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
DISCONTENTED CHATTER | 0:06:56 | 0:06:59 | |
Here. Let's look. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:00 | |
And I'll kick him in the... | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
First balloon jump, 0600 hours tomorrow. Got it? | 0:07:04 | 0:07:09 | |
Balloon jump? Look it up, Taffy. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
What does it say? | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
"The preliminary reports on the use of balloons | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
"for initial jumps are favourable. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
"The lack of slipstream on the body | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
"..means the pupil tends not to twist and somersault. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:31 | |
That's nice. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:32 | |
"The jumper has to fall further before his parachute fully opens. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
"This delay is more thrilling." | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
You lucky people. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:41 | |
"The Roman candle, when the parachute leaves the bag but fails to open in time..." | 0:07:41 | 0:07:46 | |
Lay off, will ya? | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
Canada? | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
Yeah? | 0:08:03 | 0:08:04 | |
What's a Roman candle? | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
A 'chute that doesn't open. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
Did you ever see one? | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
Yeah, I saw one. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
< What happened to the bloke? | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
Go to sleep, will ya? I'm bushed. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
CHATTER | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
Miss? | 0:08:41 | 0:08:42 | |
May I have another, please? | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
What's wrong with it? | 0:08:51 | 0:08:52 | |
It's X-type, different from the rest. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
Pilots and instructors have them. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
Change it, will ya? | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
Hurry up, you! | 0:09:01 | 0:09:02 | |
Well...the customer is always right. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
We do pack about 50 parachutes a day at least. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:10 | |
Don't get sore. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:11 | |
I'm not sore. It's natural to be a bit edgy before your first jump. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:18 | |
Is it? | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
Everybody is. It's nothing to do with...being frightened, you know. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
That's interesting. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:25 | |
You can stop worrying and relax. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:29 | |
It's a special I keep, the best 'chute I've packed. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
Good. I wouldn't like to have to repack it on the way down. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:37 | |
What's your name? | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
Gardner. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
What Gardner? | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
Working girls don't have first names | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
I haven't seen you around. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:51 | |
I don't get around. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:52 | |
Ah, officer material. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
I said we work here. On your way, Mr Maple Leaf. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:59 | |
< Right, left. Right, left. Right, left. Right, left. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:06 | |
Right, left. Right, left. Right, left. Right, left. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
Right, left. Right, left. Right, left. Right, left. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:14 | |
Right, left. Right, left. Squad, halt! One, two. Fall out. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:19 | |
Check the hooks, Corporal Dawes. Who'll go first? | 0:10:21 | 0:10:25 | |
No ugly rush, now. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:28 | |
All right. We'll have to pick out a few volunteers for the first stick. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:32 | |
Canada, suppose you show us how it's done. You'll like doing that. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:41 | |
Who else, Corporal Dawes? | 0:10:41 | 0:10:42 | |
You, Evans. Gordon. Come on, Stubbins. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
Each man check his release box. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
Easy. Don't all hit the boxes at the same time. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
It sounds like the Salvation Army on a Sunday afternoon. | 0:10:56 | 0:11:01 | |
You've nothing to worry about. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
They're smashing parachutes. They ought to be at £60 apiece. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
Morning, Bill. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:21 | |
Morning. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
"All right, you gentlemen aloft. We're ready. We are ready." | 0:11:23 | 0:11:28 | |
He's ready. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
So are we. I don't like your colour. You look a bit green. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
What colour would ya like? | 0:11:34 | 0:11:35 | |
Surprise me. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
"Number one - parachuting position." | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
Action station, number one. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
Jump when I touch you on the shoulder. Are you ready? Go. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:49 | |
There goes my first one. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
"Reach up high on your front lift webs. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:02 | |
"Pull down steadily now. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
"Your head forward, feet together. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:09 | |
"OK, hold that. OK, number two." | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
Right. Go! | 0:12:14 | 0:12:15 | |
"OK, number three." | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
Stand by, number three. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
Ready. Go! | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
Look at mine. Oh, the silly, clumsy clot. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:46 | |
BELL | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |
"OK, number five." | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
AMBULANCE BELL | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
They're not bad. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:21 | |
I've seen worse. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:22 | |
Gardner! | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
From now, I'm in business with you. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
Nothing like an established firm. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
Heavy? | 0:13:31 | 0:13:32 | |
Hm. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:33 | |
How about a drink tonight? | 0:13:33 | 0:13:35 | |
Maybe. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:36 | |
Nice trip? | 0:13:36 | 0:13:37 | |
Ya didn't have to push me. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:38 | |
Just trying to help. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
I don't need it. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:41 | |
What makes you such a ruddy hero, McKendrick? It just ain't natural. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:48 | |
If he puts his hands on me again, I'll brain him. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
How about that drink? | 0:13:53 | 0:13:55 | |
Thank you, McKendrick, but this firm doesn't mix business with pleasure. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:59 | |
SHOUTS ORDER | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
We don't know one another well yet, but today, you start your training | 0:14:08 | 0:14:13 | |
and we can start to find out. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
Now, myself, I'm a professional soldier. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:20 | |
I will be a professional soldier after this war. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
I will see you are better soldiers than the men you fight. It's that simple. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:28 | |
This morning, you jump from an aircraft. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:33 | |
Parachuting has been called dicing with death in the sky. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:37 | |
It's a revolting phrase, and untrue. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
Parachuting is a means to an end. It gets you into battle, no more. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:46 | |
After that, you're ordinary soldiers. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:50 | |
Remember, you're soldiers, not stuntmen. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
You do seven jumps for your wings. Then, you jump whenever ordered. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:57 | |
A refusal means 84 days' detention and your wings stripped off. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:03 | |
If you think you don't want any part of this, say so now. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:07 | |
And it's no disgrace either, not now. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 | |
Good. Carry on, Sergeant Major. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
Sir. Take them, Mr Aldrich. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
-Sergeant Major! Left turn! -SHOUTS ORDERS | 0:15:15 | 0:15:19 | |
Quick march! Left, right! Left, right! | 0:15:19 | 0:15:23 | |
ENGINE SLOWS | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
What was that? The engine changed its noise. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:40 | |
The pilot's throttling back. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
Yes, it means we've got to get ready. Prepare for action! | 0:15:42 | 0:15:48 | |
Nothing to it. I've loved my 88 jumps. | 0:15:56 | 0:16:00 | |
Just like falling off a log, only further. Right, watch the red light. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:05 | |
Action stations, number one. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
Come on now, action stations. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:12 | |
All right. Tell you what I'll do. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:16 | |
I'll jump first to show you a piece of cake. Dawes, you're dispatcher. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:21 | |
Right. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
We get paid extra for this. Proper swindle. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:27 | |
Stand by. Green light. Go! | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
Just like falling off a log. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:33 | |
Action stations, number two! Come on now, any of you. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
Come on. This is an order! | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
If you don't jump now, you'll never make it later! | 0:16:56 | 0:17:00 | |
Action station, number two! | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
Take your hands off me or I'll drag you out with me. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:07 | |
That's more like it. Action stations, number three! Go! | 0:17:11 | 0:17:14 | |
Number four. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:18 | |
Go! | 0:17:18 | 0:17:19 | |
PLANE DRONING | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
# Now come sit by my side if you love me | 0:18:21 | 0:18:26 | |
# You'll not hasten to bid me adieu | 0:18:26 | 0:18:31 | |
# Just remember the poor parachutist | 0:18:31 | 0:18:35 | |
# Who is doing his job just for you | 0:18:35 | 0:18:41 | |
# Now stand by with your glasses all ready | 0:18:41 | 0:18:47 | |
# Drink your health to the men of... # | 0:18:47 | 0:18:50 | |
Here's to a fine man's memory. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
I remember the smile on his face. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
What are you trying to do, turn this into a wake? | 0:18:55 | 0:18:59 | |
You girls sit there, I'll get your drinks. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:05 | |
"Easy as falling off a log," he said | 0:19:05 | 0:19:08 | |
Look, he made 88 jumps, and the odds finally caught up with him. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:13 | |
He didn't have to make that jump. He played it that way. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:17 | |
If he were here, he'd tell you to drink that beer, not cry into it. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:23 | |
Let's have a game of darts. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:24 | |
You two go ahead, I'm all right. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:26 | |
I don't like darts, but it might cheer him up. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:30 | |
-May I sit down? -It's a free country. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
That's a rousing welcome. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
Did you expect a 21-gun salute? | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
Make it 48, will ya? | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
I heard about this morning, about Breton. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:57 | |
Let's talk about something else, huh? | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
I was wrong about you. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
I thought you were like the others - scared inside and covering up. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:09 | |
But you're not scared, are you? | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
Yes. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:12 | |
You're not. You know what they say here? | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
There are two types of men who jump - the crazy and the scared. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:21 | |
You're neither. I don't think I like it. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
Another drink? | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
You pride yourself on it, don't you? It's very important to you. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:32 | |
-What? -Being brave all the time, physical courage. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
Ha. What is this, truth or consequences? | 0:20:37 | 0:20:41 | |
Let it pass. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
I didn't know you were interested. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:48 | |
It's purely academic, I assure you. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
You don't look academic to me. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
It may interest you to know | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
that many women don't like the superman type. | 0:20:56 | 0:21:01 | |
They prefer a little human weakness, some humility. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:05 | |
Look, everybody's scared of something | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
That, coming from you, could be quite an admission. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:13 | |
You gentlemen know each other. Pinky, Mr McKendrick. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:18 | |
-Pleased to meet you. -Sit down, McKendrick. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:21 | |
"Here is the news." | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
"Today, President Roosevelt has transferred 50 American destroyers | 0:21:28 | 0:21:34 | |
"to Britain in a land-lease grant." | 0:21:34 | 0:21:36 | |
Land-lease! | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
"In exchange, the US get leases to construct airfields and bases | 0:21:41 | 0:21:46 | |
"on British land under the US defence programme." | 0:21:46 | 0:21:49 | |
Defence! What are the Yanks defendin'? Who's shootin' at them? | 0:21:49 | 0:21:54 | |
That's right. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
50 stinkin' tin cans that ain't sailed since World War One. | 0:21:56 | 0:22:01 | |
A nice profit they'll make, too. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:02 | |
America'll fight. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
They'll fight to the last Englishman | 0:22:04 | 0:22:07 | |
The last Welshman too. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
They're all right at talkin' war. When do they start fightin' it? | 0:22:09 | 0:22:15 | |
What about right now? | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
You sound like a bloody Yank! | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |

And what's going on in here, may I ask?! | 0:23:02 | 0:23:05 | |
You horrible little man! | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
You're all in close arrest! | 0:23:13 | 0:23:15 | |
Below, Sergeant. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:17 | |
Left, right! Left, right! Left turn! Halt! | 0:23:17 | 0:23:22 | |
Next man. Quick march! Left, right! Left, right! | 0:23:22 | 0:23:27 | |

-Anybody got a razor blade? -What for? | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
Will Private Dawes cut his throat? | 0:23:33 | 0:23:37 | |
You're lucky to get busted. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:39 | |
Hitler was a corporal. It's done him no good. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:42 | |
You got something there. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
-Is that correct, McKendrick? -No, sir. I started it. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
-Anything to add? -No, sir. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:51 | |
Striking a superior is a court-martial offence. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:56 | |
Corporal Dawes says he started it. I want to know what really happened. | 0:23:56 | 0:24:02 | |
You go back under close arrest. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
Private McKendrick, ABOUT TURN! | 0:24:04 | 0:24:08 | |
QUICK MARCH! Left, right! Left, right! Left, right! Left! | 0:24:08 | 0:24:12 | |
Get me his service record. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:15 | |
Yes, sir. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:17 | |
Angry man. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:23 | |
We'll get it out of him, sir. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:24 | |
Directed anger can be good in a soldier. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:28 | |
Do we give him special treatment? | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
On the contrary, Sergeant Major. Let me see. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:34 | |
"Enlisted - Montreal. Place of birth - Los Angeles." | 0:24:34 | 0:24:39 | |
Anything else, sir? | 0:24:40 | 0:24:41 | |
College, two years. Profession says "aircraft industry". | 0:24:41 | 0:24:46 | |
Any military experience, sir? | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
None listed. Pretty vague, eh? | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
Still, when you're short of men, you don't ask questions. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:55 | |
Have Security run a check on him. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:58 | |
Yes, sir. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:00 | |
He interests me. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:02 | |
Hi, there. > | 0:25:06 | 0:25:08 | |
No prison pallor, I see. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
Is it a ladies' rehabilitation society? | 0:25:16 | 0:25:19 | |
I've been waiting to apologise. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
Well, well. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:23 | |
Not to you, not now, but... well...to the United States. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:28 | |
We accept your apology. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:30 | |
I came here with good intentions. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:33 | |
I might admit you were provoked, but for a man to... | 0:25:33 | 0:25:38 | |
It's disgraceful. I ruined my best nylons. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:42 | |
Do you know what they cost, if you can get them? | 0:25:42 | 0:25:46 | |
Whatever it was, it was worth it. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
So help me, next time I have a bottle, I'll launch that guy. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:56 | |
< Hold it! | 0:25:57 | 0:25:59 | |
Keep tryin', Plotsky. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:05 | |
Walewski. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:06 | |
What's wrong, Cookie? | 0:26:19 | 0:26:20 | |
I got my walking papers. They're sending me back to my old unit. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:25 | |
You'll be the army's best cook. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:27 | |
Not me. I've applied for a transfer to the commandos. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:31 | |
Hey, you've got something there. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:38 | |
Not a hope, McKendrick. I couldn't agree to a transfer. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:42 | |
Do you know what it costs to train one parachutist? | 0:26:42 | 0:26:46 | |
Over £5,000. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:48 | |
If I transfer you, what have we got for our money? Absolutely nothing. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:53 | |
There are two ways to leave here - refuse to jump, or feet first. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:59 | |
Is that final, sir? | 0:27:01 | 0:27:02 | |
Of course, you could refuse to jump. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:06 | |
All right, you can fall out. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
This is Gordon, sir. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:42 | |
-Your wings. -Thank you, sir. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:46 | |
You're from Canada. I'm glad to see you. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:49 | |
Thank you, sir. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
-Where are you from? -London, sir. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:54 | |
I should have known. Your wings. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:57 | |
Thank you, sir. | 0:27:57 | 0:27:59 | |
Company! | 0:27:59 | 0:28:01 | |
Eyes left! | 0:28:01 | 0:28:02 | |
You've rehearsed this on mock-ups of the terrain. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:19 | |
You should know it like the back of your hand. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:22 | |
Only this is the real thing. Operation Pegasus goes tonight. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:27 | |
It's to bring back German radar equipment | 0:28:27 | 0:28:30 | |
that's helped to shoot down our bombers. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:34 | |
To recapitulate - our first group takes the house and the radar post. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:40 | |
Our radar expert, who'll come later... | 0:28:40 | 0:28:44 | |
will get the equipment he needs. | 0:28:44 | 0:28:47 | |
We will hold off the Jerry garrison in the farmhouse. | 0:28:47 | 0:28:51 | |
Our second group take the beaches, we join them, the navy take us off. | 0:28:51 | 0:28:56 | |
Any questions? | 0:28:56 | 0:28:58 | |
Any suggestions? Right. | 0:28:58 | 0:29:01 | |
You men come from different places and units. | 0:29:03 | 0:29:06 | |
You've certain things in common. | 0:29:06 | 0:29:08 | |
You're all volunteers, all hand-picked. | 0:29:08 | 0:29:12 | |
It's a tradition we inherited from the first, original Roman legions. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:19 | |
You're well armed. I think you've been well trained. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:23 | |
You've got a full moon and a rising tide. The rest is up to you. | 0:29:23 | 0:29:29 | |
Good hunting. | 0:29:29 | 0:29:31 | |
SHOUTS ORDER | 0:29:31 | 0:29:35 | |
Everyone report to the parachute issuing room in half an hour! | 0:29:37 | 0:29:42 | |
Sir. | 0:29:43 | 0:29:44 | |
What's that? | 0:29:51 | 0:29:52 | |
Oh, one of the girls wrote it. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:55 | |
"Give my heroes kind wind and fair weather. | 0:29:55 | 0:29:58 | |
"Let no parachute sidle or slump. | 0:29:58 | 0:30:02 | |
"For today we go warring together. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:06 | |
"And my soul... will be there at the jump." | 0:30:06 | 0:30:10 | |
It's rather good, isn't it? | 0:30:11 | 0:30:14 | |
I wouldn't know. I... Poetry's not in my line. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:19 | |
Why must you always... | 0:30:19 | 0:30:21 | |
Stop talking there! | 0:30:21 | 0:30:23 | |
Right, out on the Tarmac, you men. Move yourselves! | 0:30:31 | 0:30:35 | |
Next stick in. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:37 | |
Stick...'shun! | 0:30:40 | 0:30:43 | |

PIPES PLAY | 0:30:47 | 0:30:49 | |
Company... HALT! | 0:31:19 | 0:31:21 | |
All right, fall out. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:24 | |
I'm sorry for the man who hears the pipes and wasnae born in Scotland. | 0:31:35 | 0:31:39 | |
"Stand by to enplane!" | 0:31:39 | 0:31:42 | |
"Enplane!" | 0:31:42 | 0:31:43 | |
Climb aboard, boys. | 0:31:43 | 0:31:45 | |
ENGINE RUNNING | 0:31:45 | 0:31:48 | |
Good luck. I'll see you tomorrow. | 0:31:57 | 0:32:00 | |
I hope so, sir. | 0:32:00 | 0:32:02 | |
Everybody, this is Flight Sergeant Box. | 0:32:12 | 0:32:15 | |
He's our radar dismantling expert. Take a look at him. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:19 | |
All right, sit down there. | 0:32:19 | 0:32:22 | |
Our job's to take good care of him. | 0:32:22 | 0:32:25 | |
I'll be taking too bloody good care of myself. Thank you. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:30 | |
ENGINE DRONES | 0:32:55 | 0:32:57 | |
My, my. What a nice little lace doily. | 0:33:29 | 0:33:34 | |
Look at him. No nerves. | 0:33:46 | 0:33:50 | |
Sleeps through it all! | 0:33:50 | 0:33:52 | |
One more crack, it'll be no teeth. | 0:33:52 | 0:33:55 | |
That's enough of that. Save all that for the Jerries. | 0:33:55 | 0:33:59 | |
I think the men are on edge, sir. | 0:34:01 | 0:34:03 | |
Do you think they're the only ones? | 0:34:03 | 0:34:07 | |
Did I tell you about the Gurkhas in India? Wonderful soldiers. | 0:34:09 | 0:34:14 | |
When I asked, the whole battalion volunteered to jump. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:18 | |
I told them about their training | 0:34:18 | 0:34:21 | |
and that they'd do the first jump from 1,000 feet. | 0:34:21 | 0:34:24 | |
There was absolute uproar. | 0:34:24 | 0:34:27 | |
Finally, their subadar-major, their RSM, | 0:34:27 | 0:34:31 | |
came and said "Sahib, the men are not easy in their minds." | 0:34:31 | 0:34:37 | |
"They want their first jump from 500 feet." | 0:34:37 | 0:34:40 | |
I said "At 500 feet, the parachutes mayn't open properly." | 0:34:40 | 0:34:45 | |
A broad grin spread over his face. | 0:34:45 | 0:34:47 | |
"Oh, sahib," he said "We didn't realise we would have parachutes." | 0:34:47 | 0:34:53 | |
LAUGHS | 0:34:53 | 0:34:56 | |
Thank you. I never thought it was that funny myself. | 0:34:58 | 0:35:02 | |
Crossing the French coast. We'll throw you out soon. | 0:35:09 | 0:35:12 | |
Thanks, skipper. Prepare for action. | 0:35:12 | 0:35:15 | |
All wounded must be left just where they are. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:21 | |
Get in and out as fast as ya can. That's all. | 0:35:21 | 0:35:25 | |

Can you tuck that blanket in? I can't reach it. | 0:46:03 | 0:46:08 | |
Sure. | 0:46:08 | 0:46:09 | |
How's that? | 0:46:34 | 0:46:36 | |
Oh, that's much better. They'll get warm in a minute. | 0:46:36 | 0:46:40 | |
I'd...better go and let you get some sleep. | 0:46:40 | 0:46:44 | |
Give my love to the boys. | 0:46:44 | 0:46:46 | |
Tell them I'll be jumping with them in a fortnight. | 0:46:47 | 0:46:52 | |
Sure. I'll see ya in the morning. | 0:46:52 | 0:46:54 | |
Better men than you have felt like that. > | 0:47:09 | 0:47:13 | |
I thought you British were all for the.. stiff upper lip and that stuff. | 0:47:13 | 0:47:18 | |
We're for a lot of things you might be surprised at. | 0:47:20 | 0:47:24 | |
You're not kiddin'. | 0:47:24 | 0:47:26 | |
What does tying the handkerchief to my 'chute mean? | 0:47:26 | 0:47:32 | |
Just an old English custom. | 0:47:32 | 0:47:35 | |
Everything's a custom around here. | 0:47:35 | 0:47:38 | |
Guess I just don't understand you people. | 0:47:38 | 0:47:42 | |
No. | 0:47:40 | 0:47:42 | |
And I don't understand you. | 0:47:42 | 0:47:44 | |
So why should I ever expect you to understand me? | 0:47:46 | 0:47:50 | |
Wait! | 0:48:08 | 0:48:09 | |
Here's something you will understand. | 0:48:11 | 0:48:13 | |
"The new headgear will be worn at all times... | 0:48:17 | 0:48:21 | |
"unless personnel are directed otherwise." | 0:48:21 | 0:48:25 | |
"J Wilcox, Lieutenant Colonel, for Major General Commanding, First Airborne Division." | 0:48:25 | 0:48:32 | |
Right. Fall out, front rank. Draw issue. | 0:48:32 | 0:48:36 | |
Seven one/8, please. | 0:48:38 | 0:48:42 | |
< Seven one/8. | 0:48:39 | 0:48:42 | |
< Seven one/two for me, please. | 0:48:40 | 0:48:42 | |
Put them on, or doesn't the style suit you? | 0:48:44 | 0:48:48 | |
Put it on straight. It's not a fashion parade. | 0:48:48 | 0:48:52 | |
Size seven. | 0:48:52 | 0:48:53 | |
Very becoming, sir. | 0:49:02 | 0:49:04 | |

< McKENDRICK! COME HERE! | 0:49:35 | 0:49:38 | |
You're wanted. Commanding officer's right away. | 0:49:38 | 0:49:42 | |
Come in. > | 0:49:48 | 0:49:51 | |
You sent for me, sir. | 0:49:52 | 0:49:58 | |
Ah, McKendrick. Grab a chair and sit down. | 0:49:54 | 0:49:58 | |
We've been instructed to raise more officers. | 0:49:58 | 0:50:02 | |
I've sent your name in. | 0:50:02 | 0:50:04 | |
Don't worry. You see a selection committee, but that's a formality. | 0:50:06 | 0:50:11 | |
I don't want a commission, sir. | 0:50:11 | 0:50:19 | |
It's not about what you want. We need officers. | 0:50:14 | 0:50:19 | |
Captain Langton and I think you'd make a good one. It should be enough | 0:50:19 | 0:50:23 | |
I don't have to take a commission. | 0:50:23 | 0:50:27 | |
There's no regulation, but if a man can lead... | 0:50:27 | 0:50:30 | |
as I think you can, he also has a responsibility. Think it over. | 0:50:30 | 0:50:36 | |
I have, sir. Others would make better leaders. | 0:50:36 | 0:50:40 | |
What's the matter, McKendrick? Don't you like officers? | 0:50:40 | 0:50:44 | |
There's no regulation about that. | 0:50:44 | 0:50:52 | |
No disrespect, sir, but I'm a private. I take orders. | 0:50:46 | 0:50:52 | |
Let somebody else give 'em. | 0:50:52 | 0:50:55 | |
I see. | 0:50:53 | 0:50:55 | |
Very well, McKendrick, that's all. | 0:50:55 | 0:50:58 | |
Good old Dakotas. | 0:51:25 | 0:51:27 | |
They don't look better than our Wellingtons. | 0:51:27 | 0:51:34 | |
They do. We come out through the door | 0:51:30 | 0:51:34 | |
-WHISTLES: -Oh, you cutie. | 0:51:34 | 0:51:36 | |
He's talking about you, darling, not me. | 0:51:37 | 0:51:41 | |
Morning, McKendrick. | 0:51:43 | 0:51:46 | |
Where's the wing commander? | 0:51:46 | 0:51:51 | |
Search me, mack. I'm a stranger here myself. | 0:51:47 | 0:51:51 | |
Who's in command of this squadron? | 0:51:55 | 0:52:00 | |
Inside. Hey, Shortie, front and centre! | 0:51:57 | 0:52:00 | |
I'm Hamilton. Sorry we're late. We're punchy. No sleep for 36 hours. | 0:52:02 | 0:52:07 | |
Had manoeuvres over Ireland. | 0:52:07 | 0:52:12 | |
Mm. So I heard. | 0:52:10 | 0:52:12 | |
Hey, bud. Catch. > | 0:52:10 | 0:52:12 | |
Thanks, mack. | 0:52:15 | 0:52:16 | |
I just thought someone should salute someone round here. | 0:52:20 | 0:52:24 | |
Where'd ya get that bonnet, mamie? | 0:52:31 | 0:52:34 | |
Sorry, but nobody laughs at the red beret twice. Excuse me. | 0:52:35 | 0:52:41 | |
Take that cabbage outta that silly face. | 0:52:42 | 0:52:46 | |
I don't have to, limey. | 0:52:44 | 0:52:46 | |
Ya wanna play? | 0:52:52 | 0:52:54 | |
Say, I know you. | 0:52:55 | 0:52:59 | |
Kelly Field, you were flyin' that... | 0:52:59 | 0:53:02 | |
Come on, Penny. | 0:53:02 | 0:53:06 | |
What did he mean? | 0:53:03 | 0:53:06 | |
Some mistake. | 0:53:05 | 0:53:06 | |
He sounded as if he knew you. Didn't he? | 0:53:06 | 0:53:11 | |
He got his wires crossed. | 0:53:08 | 0:53:11 | |
What's this? | 0:53:13 | 0:53:16 | |
< Cinderella's pumpkin. | 0:53:16 | 0:53:18 | |
Where'd you get it? | 0:53:19 | 0:53:23 | |
A little game called poker. | 0:53:20 | 0:53:23 | |
Does it go? | 0:53:24 | 0:53:28 | |
We'll soon find out. | 0:53:25 | 0:53:28 | |
We hated leaving here after holidays | 0:53:45 | 0:53:48 | |
Somehow, now, we never seem to come here. | 0:53:48 | 0:53:52 | |
Where would ya get time? | 0:53:52 | 0:53:56 | |
I suppose you're right. | 0:53:54 | 0:53:56 | |
It's good to be in a house again. | 0:54:04 | 0:54:10 | |
We forget you're miles from home. | 0:54:07 | 0:54:10 | |
< You must miss your own home. | 0:54:10 | 0:54:11 | |
We miss a lotta things. | 0:54:11 | 0:54:15 | |
You should do that more often. | 0:54:16 | 0:54:21 | |
What? | 0:54:18 | 0:54:21 | |
Smile. It suits you. | 0:54:20 | 0:54:21 | |
Put a match to the fire, would you? | 0:54:25 | 0:54:32 | |
Sure. | 0:54:27 | 0:54:32 | |
The wood shouldn't be damp. Mother was here a fortnight ago. | 0:54:27 | 0:54:32 | |
AIRRAID SIREN | 0:54:35 | 0:54:38 | |
That's something I could miss, cheerfully. | 0:54:38 | 0:54:42 | |
Oh, don't close them completely. I... I want to look out. | 0:54:49 | 0:54:54 | |

Everything stops for tea in England. | 0:55:28 | 0:55:31 | |
Not always. | 0:55:31 | 0:55:33 | |
Steve? | 0:55:43 | 0:55:47 | |
Mm? | 0:55:44 | 0:55:47 | |
Why didn't you ever tell me? | 0:55:47 | 0:55:49 | |
Tell you what? | 0:55:50 | 0:55:53 | |
I believe you're in some sort of trouble. | 0:55:53 | 0:55:57 | |
Believe that, you'll believe anything | 0:55:57 | 0:56:00 | |
No. | 0:56:00 | 0:56:02 | |
I believe you're hiding something. | 0:56:02 | 0:56:05 | |
What have I got to hide? | 0:56:05 | 0:56:08 | |
The American sergeant, the one you picked a fight with. | 0:56:09 | 0:56:13 | |
I picked a fight? | 0:56:13 | 0:56:15 | |
He made fun of the beret. | 0:56:16 | 0:56:19 | |
Anyway, he seemed to know you. | 0:56:19 | 0:56:22 | |
You seem to know a lot about technical flying, or so the boys who jump say. | 0:56:22 | 0:56:29 | |
That funny ring you wear... | 0:56:29 | 0:56:31 | |
American officers wear that too. I noticed it today. | 0:56:31 | 0:56:36 | |
You oughta belong to the FBI. | 0:56:36 | 0:56:38 | |
Tell me. | 0:56:40 | 0:56:42 | |
There's nothing to tell. | 0:56:43 | 0:56:46 | |
Why the ring? | 0:56:47 | 0:56:48 | |
S McKendrick, serial number 47532. | 0:56:50 | 0:56:54 | |
Go on, Canada. Go on. | 0:56:57 | 0:56:59 | |
I was flying a B24, testing rockets. | 0:56:59 | 0:57:00 | |
Bob Murray was my... He was my co-pilot. | 0:57:00 | 0:57:06 | |
Bob was... Ha! I used to call him Robbie. | 0:57:06 | 0:57:10 | |
He and I were as close as two guys could be. | 0:57:10 | 0:57:14 | |
I was crazy about his wife and his kids. | 0:57:14 | 0:57:18 | |
I practically lived at their house. | 0:57:18 | 0:57:21 | |
One day, we were coming in on a target, I was testing rockets. | 0:57:22 | 0:57:27 | |
A rocket got...caught in the tube. | 0:57:27 | 0:57:30 | |
I got to thinking about Robbie and his wife and his kids. | 0:57:32 | 0:57:36 | |
I knew I could land it without exploding it. | 0:57:38 | 0:57:42 | |
I got to thinkin' about them and I...told him to jump. | 0:57:42 | 0:57:46 | |
He didn't want to. He wanted to ride it down with me. | 0:57:47 | 0:57:52 | |
I told him to jump because it was an order. He jumped and he... | 0:57:52 | 0:57:56 | |
He Roman candled. | 0:57:56 | 0:58:00 | |
Yeah. | 0:57:58 | 0:58:00 | |
Yeah, he Roman candled. | 0:58:00 | 0:58:03 | |
I had to tell his wife. I'll never forget the look on her face. | 0:58:05 | 0:58:11 | |
< I resigned then. | 0:58:11 | 0:58:12 | |
But why? It wasn't your fault. You gave the proper order. | 0:58:12 | 0:58:18 | |
The War Department said that, they all did. | 0:58:18 | 0:58:21 | |
But I was through giving orders. You can give too many wrong ones. | 0:58:21 | 0:58:27 | |
You've filled in some blanks - | 0:58:27 | 0:58:29 | |
..why you're over here and won't take a commission. | 0:58:29 | 0:58:33 | |
Where'd ya hear that? | 0:58:33 | 0:58:39 | |
Things get around. | 0:58:36 | 0:58:39 | |
You know, you should've accepted. All that's over and done with. | 0:58:39 | 0:58:44 | |
So what? | 0:58:44 | 0:58:46 | |
Let's drop it. | 0:58:49 | 0:58:51 | |
I wish I could help you. | 0:58:51 | 0:58:55 | |
You can. | 0:58:53 | 0:58:55 | |
No more true confessions. | 0:58:55 | 0:58:57 | |
Don't blame me for all of it. | 0:58:57 | 0:59:00 | |
I don't. | 0:59:00 | 0:59:01 | |
I guess I'm just a sucker for candlelight. | 0:59:03 | 0:59:07 | |

Winter kit, that means snow. I wonder where we'll invade next. | 0:59:25 | 0:59:30 | |
Switzerland? | 0:59:30 | 0:59:31 | |

McKendrick. Come on in, man. | 0:59:33 | 0:59:37 | |
Yes, sir. | 0:59:37 | 0:59:39 | |
Carry on, Sergeant Major. Come in, McKendrick. | 0:59:44 | 0:59:48 | |
Stand easy. | 0:59:49 | 0:59:52 | |
Thank you, sir. | 0:59:52 | 0:59:54 | |
It's nice to see one's judgement is right. You must know what I mean. | 0:59:54 | 1:00:00 | |
No, sir. | 1:00:00 | 1:00:03 | |
I think you should. | 1:00:01 | 1:00:03 | |
Withholding information about previous service is an offence | 1:00:03 | 1:00:07 | |
I don't think I'll take any action. | 1:00:07 | 1:00:09 | |
Sir, who gave you this information? | 1:00:11 | 1:00:16 | |
Confidential. | 1:00:13 | 1:00:16 | |
I think I know. | 1:00:13 | 1:00:16 | |
Let's talk again about a commission. | 1:00:16 | 1:00:18 | |
Still feel the way I did, sir. | 1:00:18 | 1:00:20 | |
McKendrick, you've got to grow up someday! | 1:00:20 | 1:00:24 | |
You can't run away from responsibilities. | 1:00:24 | 1:00:29 | |
Cos if you do, one fine day... | 1:00:29 | 1:00:31 | |
if you've three stars, three stripes or nothing, the men will look to you | 1:00:31 | 1:00:37 | |
When they do, I hope you don't let 'em down. | 1:00:37 | 1:00:40 | |
Yes, I hope to heaven you don't. Now, that seems to be all. | 1:00:40 | 1:00:44 | |
Sir... | 1:00:49 | 1:00:51 | |
Yeah? | 1:00:51 | 1:00:57 | |
Now the USA is fighting, I want to join one of my own outfits. | 1:00:53 | 1:00:57 | |
It's the same war. Would you take a commission in your own outfit? | 1:00:57 | 1:01:03 | |
No, sir. I'd stay a dogface. | 1:01:00 | 1:01:03 | |
-You might as well stay here. -Yes, sir. | 1:01:03 | 1:01:06 | |
Sergeant Major. | 1:01:11 | 1:01:14 | |
< Sir. | 1:01:12 | 1:01:14 | |
Send the file back to Security and say thank you for the information. | 1:01:14 | 1:01:19 | |
While you're about it, make me out an application for transfer to the US Army. | 1:01:19 | 1:01:26 | |
But don't take his name off the commission list. | 1:01:26 | 1:01:30 | |

What's wrong, darling? | 1:01:39 | 1:01:42 | |
You wanna be an officer's girl. | 1:01:42 | 1:01:44 | |
I suppose I'll have to be someday. | 1:01:44 | 1:01:48 | |
Not mine. | 1:01:46 | 1:01:48 | |
I don't see why you make an issue of this. | 1:01:48 | 1:01:52 | |
What ya told Colonel Snow? | 1:01:52 | 1:01:57 | |
Snow? | 1:01:54 | 1:01:57 | |
Ya had it figured out, a little talk to fix everything. | 1:01:57 | 1:02:01 | |
I told the colonel nothing. | 1:02:01 | 1:02:07 | |
That was just between you and me. | 1:02:02 | 1:02:07 | |
I've told nobody about you. | 1:02:04 | 1:02:07 | |
It doesn't matter if ya did. You know too much about me. | 1:02:07 | 1:02:12 | |
I know it's time you stopped nursing your pet phobia... | 1:02:12 | 1:02:15 | |
you pathological hero! | 1:02:15 | 1:02:19 | |
So long, baby. | 1:02:19 | 1:02:20 | |

Wakey-wakey! Off the down, me lads! Rise and shine! | 1:02:30 | 1:02:34 | |
Draw your winter kit. We leave in one hour. | 1:02:34 | 1:02:38 | |
Turn out the contents of your pockets. | 1:02:38 | 1:02:42 | |
We must be careful about what the Jerries find if they capture you. | 1:02:42 | 1:02:47 | |
Sir, but it's Sunday. I'd made plans. | 1:02:47 | 1:02:50 | |
So has the army. They win in cases like this. | 1:02:50 | 1:02:54 | |
Come on, let's have a look now. What have we got here? | 1:02:54 | 1:02:59 | |
Right, fine. Are these your children? | 1:03:02 | 1:03:05 | |
Yes, sir. | 1:03:05 | 1:03:08 | |
Fine boys, they seem. | 1:03:06 | 1:03:08 | |
Thank you, sir. | 1:03:08 | 1:03:09 | |
Would Your Lordship like a cup of tea brought to him in bed?! | 1:03:09 | 1:03:14 | |
MOVE YOURSELF, SON! | 1:03:14 | 1:03:16 | |
Next man, are you gonna stay in bed all day? | 1:03:16 | 1:03:20 | |
Did you hear that? He called you "son"! | 1:03:20 | 1:03:24 | |
What d'ya want me to call him? Daddy? | 1:03:24 | 1:03:27 | |
Cut the comedy. Gimme a 'chute. | 1:03:55 | 1:03:58 | |
Well... I've got a spot of news for you. | 1:04:04 | 1:04:08 | |
Three hours ago, we began the invasion of North Africa. | 1:04:08 | 1:04:13 | |
The First Army's already landed near Algiers and is moving east towards Tunis. | 1:04:15 | 1:04:21 | |
Sergeant Major. | 1:04:21 | 1:04:25 | |
Sir. | 1:04:22 | 1:04:25 | |
Now, our particular objective is the airfield...here. | 1:04:25 | 1:04:33 | |
It looks as though we'll not need our snow gear. | 1:04:33 | 1:04:38 | |
We refuel at Gibraltar and go 350 miles ahead of the army.. | 1:04:38 | 1:04:41 | |
..to destroy this airfield before the Jerries get it. | 1:04:41 | 1:04:46 | |
Reinforcements'll be rushing there. | 1:04:46 | 1:04:49 | |
< So, this is a race that we cannot afford to lose. | 1:04:49 | 1:04:54 | |

Come on, boys, get going. Get this stuff outta here. Form a chain. | 1:05:07 | 1:05:11 | |
Whose plane is it? | 1:05:19 | 1:05:24 | |
Mine, worst luck. | 1:05:20 | 1:05:24 | |
You must wait for the next lift. | 1:05:21 | 1:05:24 | |
It may not be for days, sir! | 1:05:24 | 1:05:29 | |
Sorry, old boy. Yes, Jimmy? | 1:05:26 | 1:05:29 | |
We have to enplane, sir. | 1:05:29 | 1:05:35 | |
Get 'em cracking. | 1:05:30 | 1:05:35 | |
Sergeant Major, get 'em aboard. | 1:05:31 | 1:05:35 | |
Bad luck. | 1:05:33 | 1:05:35 | |
BATTALION... ENPLANE! > | 1:05:35 | 1:05:37 | |
Nothing for it, children. Turn in your 'chutes. | 1:05:48 | 1:05:52 | |
ENGINES START | 1:05:52 | 1:05:54 | |
How about it, sir? | 1:06:00 | 1:06:04 | |
Not a chance. Forget it. | 1:06:02 | 1:06:04 | |
Hey! You're both under close arrest. | 1:06:05 | 1:06:09 | |
Heaven help me, so am I. Let's go! | 1:06:09 | 1:06:12 | |
Come on! | 1:06:12 | 1:06:14 | |
Holy cats, look at those crazy beefeaters. | 1:06:31 | 1:06:34 | |
You're asking for a court martial. | 1:06:36 | 1:06:40 | |
Sorry, sir. | 1:06:38 | 1:06:40 | |
I should throw you off the plane. | 1:06:40 | 1:06:44 | |
Wait till we get over that airfield. | 1:06:42 | 1:06:44 | |
Well, shut that blasted door or we'll never get airborne. | 1:06:54 | 1:06:59 | |

Get these prisoners away. | 1:10:46 | 1:10:52 | |
Demolish it. Meet at the end of the airstrip. | 1:10:48 | 1:10:52 | |
Yes, sir. You two sappers, over here. | 1:10:52 | 1:10:56 | |
Now, get your charges out. | 1:10:56 | 1:10:58 | |
We're gonna blow all this stuff up now. | 1:10:58 | 1:11:02 | |
If you wait till the Jerries get here, it'll give us a bit longer. | 1:11:02 | 1:11:07 | |
We'll try, sir. Don't worry. | 1:11:07 | 1:11:10 | |

Jawohl, Herr Leutnant. | 1:12:27 | 1:12:29 | |
Vorwaerts! | 1:12:27 | 1:12:29 | |
They're setting up a roadblock. | 1:12:31 | 1:12:33 | |
If we can get them across this road, we'll be all right. | 1:12:36 | 1:12:39 | |

"Englishmen." | 1:15:05 | 1:15:07 | |
"You out there in the minefield." | 1:15:07 | 1:15:10 | |
Keep the smoke going. | 1:15:10 | 1:15:15 | |
"This is your last chance to surrender." | 1:15:12 | 1:15:15 | |
"No escape is possible." | 1:15:15 | 1:15:18 | |
Die Werfer sind hier. | 1:15:24 | 1:15:27 | |
Gut. | 1:15:25 | 1:15:27 | |
"Fire three shots, and we will come for you." | 1:15:27 | 1:15:31 | |
"Otherwise, in exactly three minutes... | 1:15:31 | 1:15:35 | |
we open up with mortars und machine guns. Three minutes." | 1:15:35 | 1:15:41 | |
Plotsky's found a German container. | 1:15:44 | 1:15:47 | |
McKendrick, help. It may hold medical supplies. | 1:15:47 | 1:15:52 | |
Yes, sir. | 1:15:51 | 1:15:52 | |
Can I help? | 1:15:52 | 1:15:56 | |
No, sir. I think I can manage. | 1:15:53 | 1:15:56 | |
< How's that container? | 1:15:56 | 1:16:02 | |
It's comin', sir. Schmeissers and a funny gadget. | 1:15:58 | 1:16:02 | |
Faustpatrone. | 1:16:02 | 1:16:04 | |
If that was a cuppa tea now, it would be some use. | 1:16:05 | 1:16:09 | |
"Two minutes." | 1:16:14 | 1:16:15 | |
< "Englishmen, why are you so stubborn?" | 1:16:18 | 1:16:21 | |
Shall I say there's a stubborn Yank too? | 1:16:21 | 1:16:24 | |
Look, sir. This is a rocket-type bazooka. | 1:16:24 | 1:16:28 | |
I think we can make a path if we fire this on the ground and... | 1:16:28 | 1:16:33 | |
And exploded the mines. | 1:16:33 | 1:16:35 | |
What d'you think? | 1:16:35 | 1:16:42 | |
It might work. We'd have to supplement the bazooka with grenades | 1:16:37 | 1:16:42 | |
"One minute." | 1:16:42 | 1:16:44 | |
It's worth trying. | 1:16:45 | 1:16:48 | |
I can't do it with this leg. I'll give ya covering fire from here. | 1:16:48 | 1:16:53 | |
"50 seconds." | 1:16:53 | 1:16:55 | |
"I repeat, no escape is possible." | 1:16:56 | 1:17:00 | |
"This is your last chance to surrender." | 1:17:01 | 1:17:05 | |
What are you waiting for? | 1:17:05 | 1:17:12 | |
"40 seconds." | 1:17:07 | 1:17:12 | |
Ya had to face it. It was always on the cards. | 1:17:08 | 1:17:12 | |
I told you before, you've got to grow up someday. | 1:17:12 | 1:17:16 | |
If it won't work, if these men get... | 1:17:16 | 1:17:19 | |
When will you stop running away from that? | 1:17:19 | 1:17:23 | |
"30 seconds." | 1:17:23 | 1:17:25 | |
Maybe you're right, sir. Over to that shell hole. | 1:17:27 | 1:17:31 | |
I need some ammunition for this bazooka. Come on. | 1:17:31 | 1:17:36 | |
"20 seconds." | 1:17:36 | 1:17:38 | |
Are you still with us? McKendrick will blast a path through the minefields with a bazooka. | 1:17:38 | 1:17:45 | |
"Ten seconds." | 1:17:45 | 1:17:51 | |
See if you can take out the armoured car then the mortar post. | 1:17:46 | 1:17:51 | |
Yes, sir. | 1:17:51 | 1:17:54 | |
FEUER! | 1:17:54 | 1:17:55 | |
Get that mortar. I'll cover you. | 1:18:08 | 1:18:11 | |
