Vid: Enemy at the Door Trailer

[lost_spook]

The commentfest continues! And talking of obscure and British things...

As threatened, a 'trailer' of sorts for ITV's 1978-80 WWII drama, Enemy at the Door. I made this as an experiment, because I thought I'd solved my issues with sound-editing on my vidding software. Guess what? I haven't, so this is not entirely a success - there are some

Lovely vid! I hadn't seen it because I seem to not have you friended--OK if I remedy the omission?

Thank you, on both counts, & of course. I'll go friend you now. :-)

I have mixed feelings about Portrait of a Lady, but James Maxwell does pull off even more epic hand-holding than in SotT, so that was quite something. Also there was Richard Chamberlain, obviously. (I just prefer actors I like not to be playing awful characters who are way too interested in choosing their 17 year old daughter's dresses, really.) In the unlikely event you ever want a list of things to watch (or not watch) with James Maxwell, I am right there, heh.

I think, on balance, the VERY worst resistance movement must be Wish Me Luck,

The thing with Wish Me Luck is that it is supposed to be based on the memoirs of one real agent (S1 & 2) and on a particular real operation (S3, hence the condemnatory speech at the end), so presumably the real Resistance was that useless, or at least the parts where they had help from the British! (It's life, see. Failure is just the general state of being! Have a cup of tea, and never mind.)

One of my first-ever fannish activities was meta about how if the US made B7 it probably would have had lots of glorious victories and the Federation would eventually have been defeated. After all, a tremendous number of things have *happened*, the question is which ones are selected for fictionalization and how they're treated.
