I knew I had seen the movie, I just couldn't remember the name. I had to look it up.

"The Pride and the Passion"

Not really my kind of movie, but I remember there were some funny moments.

A great movie and at least they had a true British actor (Archibald Leach) to play the Brit naval officer..aka Cary Grant.

A classic film I hadn't seen.
Sophie's entrance scene was... pert, interpreting classified naval letters.
Avila, Spain
A few hundred years of building walls, withstanding the malevolent intent of the horde without, the siege.
A travel destination for those interested in the history of war, war for all time.


There in Spain, you may meet by chance Gina Lollobrigida's double, descended from the Roman Legio IX Hispana, bound for Albion.

Been a lot of years since I watched the movie but IIRC, they were found crated up, in the back of a shed, behind a fancy green open-top ox cart....

I'm pretty sure Tri-X was Black & White film.

I would guess 80-100mm focal length and big (small number) aperture.

' A woman at twenty is like ice, at thirty she is warm and at forty she is hot. '

Yep, looked it up, sure enough, I was wrong.
Tri-x was bw.

Likely one or the other of these.

As one of the most photographed actress' from the '50s, It is certain that all the films were used, by all of the cameramen.
