i first see this film almost 21 year ago when it be an itv ( before the day of cable and satellite ) matinée . i be off school with the mumps and i be totally wrap in the film . i have have it on buy video for about 10 year and i want to obtain a dvd copy of it . david niven be my all time favourite actor and i think it be a travesty that he be over look so many time when the oscar come around . i also think that the queen should have knight him a he easily do a much for the movie industry if not more than sean connery or anthony hopkins . the way the film switch from black and white to colour and back again be well do and the film have such stellar actor a roger livesy and marius goring and an early appearance from richard attenborough .
