Enjoying below the surface. My son and his partner not only won’t watch with subtitles, they won’t watch black and white movies. So they miss out on some of the all time greats. Especially the Third Man. They also will never enjoy Les Parapluies De Cherbourg.

I recommend you rectify that at the first opportunity. Even 70 years later it is a masterpiece of film making. No film marries the music to the story as well. Filmed in a bombed out Vienna it captures the time and feeling in a unique way.

And if you like that you might also like The Spy Who Came in from the Cold for brilliantly capturing the atmosphere of the time.

Seen it a few times. A load of us went to see it in 1966 when it came out. The reason for our interest was in 1965 we got a new English teacher who was telling us he had worked as an extra on it whilst awaiting a placement.He had got the job as he spoke German and the advert asked for a German speaker for the part. Turned out the only German he was required to speak was answering “Nein” when he was patrolling the border when an officer asked him something, which, as he said, hardly required being fluent in the language.<laugh> The speaking bit was then cut out anyway, along with some others, because you got slightly more if you spoke. Hilarious when you consider what Richard Burton and others were getting. We did see his brief bit of walking along though.

This takes me back to the early 50's when a BBC TV drama series called 'Little Red Monkey' had unusual theme music. A version of it used an electronic instrument called a theremin. Also the same year featured another BBC TV series 'The Quatermass Experiment'.
Absorbing dramas which I watched with my mum aged 10. Both were subsequently made into films.
