Here is a movie I saw as a kid and had forgotten about: "Hannibal Brooks" (1969)
Here is a movie I saw as a kid and had forgotten about: "Hannibal Brooks" (1969)
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
This is Mason during the "suicide scene"--the visor appears to have an M-37 political eagle, and differs from the one he wore in the DAK scenes:
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
"Hornet's Nest":
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
That just might be a real SS Officer visor (from "Lebensborn", 1961):
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
Yul Brynner as a Feldgendarmerie Colonel in “Triple Cross” (1966)
Triple Cross was based loosely on the real-life story of Eddie Chapman, believed by the Nazis to be their top spy in Great Britain, although he was actually an MI5 double agent known as "Zigzag". The title of the film comes from Chapman's signature to mark he was freely transmitting by radio, a Morse code XXX. Another meaning of the title "Triple Cross" becomes clear in the final scene of the film. Chapman, sitting at a bar, is asked who he was really working for. In reply, he raises his glass in salute to his reflection in the mirror.
In his autobiography, Christopher Plummer said that Chapman was to have been a technical adviser on the film but the French authorities would not allow him in the country because he was still wanted over an alleged plot to kidnap the Sultan of Morocco.[1]
We can't leave Obergruppenführer Smith out of this thread:
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
All I can say is, "WTH"?:
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
Several different visors used by Mitchell and Webb:
These guys are amazing!
