A Christmas Lesson...

[jjpor]

How the...flip did I not know that William Russell was in The Great Escape before seeing him dragged out of a tunnel by a German guard earlier today?!

Alas, the Luftwaffe dude did not exclaim "Hande hoch, Chesterfield!"

Pre-Who, too, as Wiki informs me the film was released in June 1963 - no wonder David McCallum looks about twelve!

In other news, Last Christmas was imho very good indeed - "Sweet Papa Crimbo!"

Huh. Brand new information, re: William Russell.

Haven't seen Last Christmas yet. (no spoilers, please?)

He <i>Wasn't</i> Twelve?

The Great Escape rewards close watching.

I'll have to keep a sharp eye out next time I watch that!
