  2. Yep - a stellar portrayal by Nigel Green, hard to think of anyone else who did better although others can probably suggest a few.

  3. What has bothered me about that movie is the lack of recoil from the guns.
    400 grains at 1400 fps thump the shoulder.
    I know it was a movie and they were probably just primers, not even blanks being fired.
    Same goes for the revolvers.
    But it still bugs me.

  4. Except Frank Bourne was 24 years old at Rorke's Drift.
