I was a little surpris...Thanks for the compliments. I was a little surprised at first to find Dirk Bogarde commenting on my blog from beyond the grave though...<br /><br />I don't have <i>King & Country</i> but I'll keep my eyes open for it. I did, however, review <a href="http://dawtrina.blogspot.com/2009/07/ill-met-by-moonlight-1957-michael.html" rel="nofollow">Ill Met By Moonlight</a> last month though, and <a href="http://dawtrina.blogspot.com/2009/04/hms-defiant-1962-lewis-gilbert.html" rel="nofollow">HMS Defiant aka Damn the Defiant!</a> earlier in the year.<br /><br />The other Bogarde film I recorded from TCM on the 10th was <i>The Servant</i> as I've heard great things about it. Watch out for that review soon.Hal C. F.

As an admirer of Dirk Bogard...An excellent review. As an admirer of Dirk Bogarde's body of work, I'm always gratified to read insightful comments on his films. Thanks to TCM-US's DIRK BOGARDE DAY which aired thirteen DB films on the 10th of August and to reviews like yours, his performances will not be forgotten.<br /><br />I would enjoy your review of KING AND COUNTRY (1964), one of five Bogarde-Joe Losey collaborations. I consider it the best, or one of the best, but not fully appreciated, anti-war films made.<br /><br /><br />Thanks.Dirk Bogardehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12330951414787588427noreply@blogger.com
