Ah the memories. I haven't missed them.

Quite a few 101 releases are currently £6 and £10 on Amazon.

Has anyone seen Play Dirty with Michael Caine?

Yes. I quite like it myself. Not a bad little war movie.

Yes, i have it.

I'd say it was merely okay. There's a lot of running around the woods with kids rather than any decent war action.

I have the 101 release and was disappointed with the film.

It's a long time since I saw it but isn't this the one in the desert which reuses a lot of footage from Tobruk? It's not imo very good...

The running around with kids in the woods sounds more like Hornets' Nest starring Rock Hudson... and he was in Tobruk too!

...then again my memory is getting terrible nowadays :lol:

Sorry, getting my crap 101 war films mixed up. Yes, you are right, Rob. Play Dirty was even worse.

Tobruk itself isn't a fave of mine. My dad used to love it but i've seen it a couple of times and don't think it comes close to the top tier of WWII films.

Our Dad's were probably of a similar age... :lol:

Well no one has managed to sell Play Dirty to me. Even at £5.99.

RAID ON ROMMEL with Richard Burton is the one that reuses footage from TOBRUK, so you're barking up the wrong tree there !. PLAY DIRTY does not reuse any stock footage from previous movies AFAIK.

There are no woods, in the desert set PLAY DIRTY !. JUst some decent performances from the likes of Michael Caine & Nigel Davenport. I like it myself, but each to their own.
