"Subtitles by Seglora" "Personal Manager,Export,please" "What is your inquiry,Sir?" "I have an insurance problem" "Putting you through" "Harvey,we were expecting you since last night" "The ferry boat was late look I am going to be a bit longer, I got a character tailing me" "Yes,don't worry about him,he is a new boy just learning the trailing" "What?" "He picked you up as soon as you landed don't hang around anymore, drafty places stations" "This is going to cost you a very large drink" "Drinks are rationed, there is war one,you know" "Sorry,must have tripped over your clothes" "How about this.." "Catch" "The head run out as a matter of fact" "You can't say that I don't think about you while I am away" "Expected you last night" "Don't know if you do the welcome home,will you,embarrasses me" "What is this idea having me tailed?" "It's policy,wanted to make sure you came straight here" "I see,where is Peggy btw?" "Whom?" "Peggy,you know,the one that was out there before I left" "We'll all seen these legs" "Her?" "Yes well" "I don't keep track of them" "We had about four since she went" "You mean she is gone?" "Now listen,we had a deal,you remember,you said you'll keep her" "She had some sort of a reason for wanting to go,can't remember what" "Sounded there isn't enough of the time" "But where to?" "I had some unfinished business there, I want to make most of this leave" "That's canceled" "What is?" "Your leave" "Now listen,I know you are the colonel and all that but I've got it due to me it is on the cards" "Yes,I know,but it is still canceled" "Filthy taste these things" "What do you mean canceled?" "Just that" "I need you here" "I see,why didn't you say so before?" "What's that makes all the different?" "You need me here" "Now listen,don't give me the mystery routine,I've just ha a belly full of that" "No mystery,they tell me,I pass the buck" "Is this on the level?" "I'm not going on another drop,that's for sure" "Nobody said you were" "I'm just telling you" "This one calls for brains,not a parachute" "You weren't the obvious choice,of course" "No,no of course" "As you know I like to surround myself with lesser talents" "You ba..sket" "Admit it" "I'm glad you are back in one piece" "One of these days,I'm going to try my hand in that" "Try what?" "I always fancied myself as an author" "You see the answers of version in the men's rooms" "It's nearer than most of our anonymous friends think" "How near?" "I see" "Is this new job connected with it, directly I mean?" "I'll tell you how directly" "Invasion without tears" "Look,there we are,there in due course we undoubtedly go" "Where everyone expects us to" "The question is,can we persuade the Germans that we might,just might do something different?" "Here" "No" "Here" "Here,bloody fools,we did" "Here,possibility,could be" "Could mount an invasion from North Africa,agreed?" "I suppose so" "You're supposed to say, yes,yes we could,just" "And that's the seed of suspicion" "Has to be planted in Berlin" "Yes" "There is the problem" "The war cabinet gave it to deception deception,very wisely threw it under the table to intelligence,us to be exact" "You are not serious?" "I am,top priority" "They want it did yesterday" "How do you kid the Germans where we are going?" "They know?" "They have known for the last two years" "Of course they don't know the date they don't know the map reading but it got.." "here,or here,or here" "Of course we could go around by the Cape and sneak up on them by the way of Tibet" "Good point,do you mind if I make notes?" "Hey,put that light out!" "All right,let's go back to the beginning" "The Germans know we are going to invade this here,right?" "Right" "Right" "They also know that we will go to any length to conceal the actual time and place of the invasion,right?" "Right" "Therefore,what was I saying?" "The Germans will expect us to try to fool them" "Who are you ringing?" "I'm trying to phone,Peggy" "Peggy?" "Look,don't let's go through all that again" "Don't you mind?" "Hello" "Hello,Peggy?" "I see,theatre?" "Do you know the name of the show?" ""Khaki Kapers",yes,sounds great" "Thanks you so much,sorry to have troubled you,Good Bye" "So listening" "We've got two choices" "We either fool the Germans something so big so real that it is even confuses Eisenhower or something tiny something unimportant trivial something that might been conceivably been overlooked in the heat of the moment" "Something human in fact" "I follow you" "I do not where to,that's my contribution for tonight" "I know what human problem angers, all right now" "Good idea,I'll join you,I feel a bit peckish myself" "But all due respect to your rank,Sir,no you will not" "I'll give you two good reasons you are too old ,you have the wrong sex,see you in the morning" "Peggy" "Peggy" "Fine" "Nothing,darling" "Just a minute gentlemen a very special visitor has just arrived, by the damned you weren't here" "Why don't you take a powder" "I just took one" "Officers only,anywhere we are a full out" "I've booked in earlier,Major Harvey" "What number?" "528" "Harvey" "Too late for a meal,of course?" "Kitchen closed at 10 o'clock" "No chance of a drink" "Bar closed 10 30" "You haven't got a evening paper" "You've to order one" "Thanks" "Did you want it to read?" "That was the idea" "You can borrow mine if I get it back" "Thanks" "I'll take good care of it" "Not that much worth reading,load of rubbish,read anything some people" "Thanks" "Sorry about the noise" "So am I" "Don't you going to ask me in?" "Help yourself" "Thanks" "What's the time?" "It's not late" "Just as well,don't dying in bed,do you?" "Mind you the black out" "Sorry" "Damned" "All right" "Look,I want to ask you a question" "Who would you say is certain to command our land forces in the invasion?" "Where have you been tonight?" "Stay with it,who would you say?" "The long shot,I guess,Montgomery" "I'd said Monty" "Now,commanding general would have to be with his forces on the eve of the said invasion,right?" "How long is it since you had leave?" "So if Monty was somewhere else out of the country in the Mediterranean,say, just before the D day,what would the German reaction be?" "I know what the War Office's reaction would be" "They might think the invasion was going in there, right?" "Possibly" "Put it this way" "If we produce Montgomery in the Middle East and they'd assure the Germans knew about it you know an open top secret,there is a fair chance they'll buy it" "That's a big if" "Listen.I.." "I saw Monty tonight" "You what?" "Not officially, I went to the theatre,Monty were in the appearance on the stage big reaction,audience went wild" "At least somebody sold" light" Monty that he fooled me and about 1200 others" "Is a penny beginning to drop?" "Give it to me again" "Look,this character that I saw tonight can be made to give a repeat performance on a bigger scale" "We might be in business" "Who was it?" "I don't know" "It was an army show shouldn't be too difficult to trace him, who is our contact in PR?" "Old Dick Coppard he'll find out for us" "Discreetly?" "Invented the word" "That it is then" "We'll go on to it the first thing in the morning" "Was it worth waking you up for?" "I hate to admit it" "On the whole,I think it was" "The big question is not so much whether this chap can look the part off stage when he got to do it" "But actually thinking" "I mean all you see him do is to walk on stage face the audience and saluting" "That's the start of it" "Mind the step" "Have these things switched" "Another thing,we don't know that he is not a raving phoney" "Good Morning,Sir" "Hello,after all.." "Good Morning" "Is that ours?" "Yes,I suppose so" "They are always circulating" "We get them from the typist pool" "Really?" "That's interesting" "I remembered about the other girl,you know,Peggy" "She got married,that was it" "Thanks very much" "A Mr Coppard just came through with the information you wanted.." "What's your name btw?" "Angela,Sir" "Good,good" "Nice to have you with us,Angela" "Angela" "Yes,Sir" "That's all for the moment,thank you" "Have they traced him?" "Have they traced him?" "Lt Cpt Clifton James, Pay Corps,Lister" "Pay Corps" "Just where you expect the Army to put an actor" "Matthew,I'm still out on the final balance" "I'd read the old diary" "I'm terribly" "You know it's a bit of liberty putting you into it,in the first place" "Being an actor you don't want to be bothered with finance" "There it is,Sir,you have to go that total four" "Really" "Thanks a lot" "Lieutenant James here" "James we want you for an army film" "Would you say that again,Sir?" "I said we might be able to use you in one of our army training film" "Look,I coming through there to tomorrow, I thought we might have a word about it" "Could I have your name again,Sir?" "Major Harvey 1230 tomorrow,Queen's Hotel" "Could you tell me anything about the parts,Sir?" "Hello,hello" "Put your hat" "Bitter,please" "Pint of bitter,large Scotch,please" "Single only,we are rationed you know" "I've brought along some stills" "Stills?" "Photographs" "I didn't know what you want, so I got a good selection,Sir" "Is this your sister?" "No,I was Charley's Aunt there must have just slipped in" "Yes,it's a very good collection" "You're always wear the old mustache,do you?" "I do,but I wouldn't mind shaving it off,I mean,if the part calls for it" "Yes,it's got" "Let's sit over here,shall we" "Of course" "I got some cuttings here some mostly from provincial papers but I always think the local dramatic critics are tougher than the West End ones" "Yes I'm sure" "Cheers" "Cheers" "You don't drink much,do you?" "No,not much" "Now,this notice might interest you" "Ever gone the wagon all together?" "I can do, take it or leave it" "You know I've often wondered whether actors need a drink first night and things like that" "I'm usually too sick" "You get nervous,do you?" "No, not on anybody, just the old butterflies,you know" "But you're in a pretty good health as a rule" "Yes I think so,touch wood" "Why?" "Do I look a bit.." "No,no,no,I just mentioned it" "Film stars cost a great deal of money trickier than an actor gets sick in the middle" "No understudy,I mean" "You needn't worry about me,Sir, I've never missed a performance yet" "Good" "I realize you can't give me an answer now,Sir,but do you see me in this film?" "That's a little bit difficult to say just at the moment,you see,we haven't finalized the script yet" "Documentary I suppose?" "Broadly speaking,yes" "Is it?" "Would it be a large part?" "Yes,yes it will be a very large part if it turns out the way we want it to" "Yes" "Good Lord,that's the right time" "I make it to quarter two" "I must dash,I'm really between trains really" "Been very nice seeing you" "Will you take these ,Sir?" "Well,yes,jolly useful" "Hope we meet again" "Right so too,Sir,Good Bye" "Sir?" "I agree about the likeness,fantastic" "Yeah" "But now,assuming we get the go ahead" "First thing will be to have him posted to HQ staff so he could study Monty at close quarters" "Yes" "And in that case he mustn't look as Monty or Clifton James have to disguise him in some way" "Within reason,doesn't have to be plastic surgery" "Let's run through what we got so far" "Is he a drunk?" "Wouldn't say so" "No,he is bound to be on his best behaviour with strangers" "He smokes" "Yeah,he has to cut that out" "What about his hair,that's need fixing" "This is all supposing he wants to play ball" "He will play" "Yeah" "At one point you handle the rambling up" "I want to stay in the background for the time being" "I got a suggestion there,if you take the mustache off ,that will help a lot" "I'll carve him up so his own mother won't recognize him" "You stand by,enter his progress reports, I'm going straight to the War Office" "It's going take an awful lot of selling" "Don't worry about that,it's just question of deciding whose head to go on well" "All right driver" "Two lumps for my tea,please,sweetie" "Perhaps you think I am sweet enough already" "You know,you're obviously a girl who anticipate a man's need" "I like to do my best,Major but unfortunately at the moment we don't possess two tea cups" "Thank you Miss.." "Bearing" "Bearing" "Are you with us now?" "Yes,Major" "Miss Cook has taken her undoubted talents further down the corridor I am what is known as a permanent replacement" "Are you?" "I am sure that will be very nice for all of us" "Thank you,Major" "Harvey,this is not going to be easy" "I brought those in the middle approving it in principle but that doesn't mean a thing" "No,I left a jungle absolutely hopeless I have to jump a few paces so keep me on the phone" "Btw the permanent new girl turning up,very efficient to look after" "Yes,thanks very much for.." "Marvelous,Miss Bearing,and an egg too" "They are still being laid,Major,if you know where to find them" "Had you a word from the Colonel?" "No,nothing yet,no" "Expect he is laying a few himself" "Miss B,you might get on the Records,will you as soon they're awake and ask for everything they got on Montgomery" "photographs,biographical details" "That's all ready been seen to,Major.." "They have been sent around by special messenger meanwhile here is the material on Lt James" "Thank you" "Who gave that heading?" "I did,Major,just a suggestion" "Operation Hambone" "I like it,Miss B" "Extension 43" "One moment,Colonel,it is for you,Sir" "Thank you" "Any joy?" "You have" "How do you manage it?" "I finally got to the right man" "Right,if you get it to us,I'll take it from here Good Boy,good bye" "B" "It's on the menu" "What is?" "That Hambone of yours, they are all going to take it" "Yes" "You sent for me,Sir" "What's the explanation,James?" "The mistake was in the transfer counts, Sir,I was checking when you sent for me" "What are you talking about?" "I want to know how this character" "Harvey, isn't it,got in contact with you in the first place" "I won't have my officers going behind my back" "I'm afraid I don't quite follow you,Sir" "I just had a call from the Army Cinematographic Unit whatever that is,asking me to grant you seven days unofficial leave to undergo a film test, now do you follow me" "Oh,that Sir" "Coming back to you now,is it?" "They did approach me about a week ago,Sir" "But I thought nothing would come of it" "Getting on a phone,telling me how to run this place" "You know, you want to forget that you are an actor,James and put away the bloody motley for the duration" "Yes,Sir" "I don't like films" "I don't like actors, and most of all I don't like war office actors" "Just because you pull a fast doesn't mean you are going to getaway with it seven days,seven days you are back on the dot" "Otherwise I fell the book at you" "Yes,Sir.Thank you,Sir" "That's all" "Can I put in for a railway warrant,Sir?" "Don't ask me, ask the CSM" "Yes,Sir" "I'm surprised they are not sending a car for you" "That's usual,isn't it,with film stars" "Do wait in here,please" "Thank you" "You can be sure of one thing, he is an actor,all right" "Shal I book him?" "I suppose so" "That's the way is part of all these scheme" "The time always comes when someone has to be let into the secret" "All right,tag him" "Hello,James" "How are you?" "Fine,thank you,Sir" "Good,come and sit down" "Thank you" "How are your nerves?" "Oh,not too bad" "Good" "I got some rather odd news for you" "You are not going to make that film for us" "I see" "On the other hand,we are going to offer you just about the best part you ever have or probably ever will have" "Look before I go any further I want you to read this" "It's not the contract,I'm afraid" "It's an extract from the Official Secrets Act just a part of matters when you've read it,I want you to sign it" "Finish?" "Yes" "Have I done anything wrong anyone?" "No,no that's just a formality towards what's comes next" "Thank you" "If I thought you were really a security risk,you wouldn't be here" "I've got quite a big file on you" "I know where you went to school who your friends are,the books you read the last" "Really?" "I suppose I owe you an apology" "You see I have nothing to do with Army Films" "I'm an Intelligence Officer, and you just been recruited" "What as?" "A very big noise,you may not be God's gift to the theatre but you got one special talent we need very badly" "You look like Monty" "Monty that one,I did that appearance as a gag" "We are going to make that gag pay off" "You are going to act as Monty's double before D day" "Don't look so shattered,you've done it before you can do it again" "This time you are going to play it straight to a much bigger audience" "This is fantastic" "That's right" "It so fantastic,it's going to work" "Between us we are going to trick the Germans and probably save lives of lot of men" "You won't get many more of those when the job starts" "Monty doesn't use them" "That goes for drink too" "But I do not what to say" "From now on you don't exist as Lt Clifton James of Pay Corps" "You won't write any letters make any private phone calls or contact anybody you know, you live and sleep here" "And don't worry about your charming Aterton,that's all taken care of" "Can I ask you something?" "Yeah,go ahead" "Do I have to do it?" "What do you mean?" "Is it an order?" "No,I can't say it's an order exactly,what are you meaning at?" "I can't stay here now,I'm expected home" "You want to do it,don't you?" "I don't know it's quite a thing to decide just like that" "I haven't played many big parts" "I have understudied a few of course but that's completely different" "Well,James it is up to you" "I'll think about it" "What have you to think about?" "Absolute gift to any actor, my name is Logan,how do you do" "How do you do,Sir" "I had no idea,I mean in that" "Don't worry about that,you did very well,sit down,James,sit down" "But what happen to you now then?" "I mean this is a big opportunity for you" "You'll do it standing on your head,of course you.." "Yes," "You certainly got that night in the theatre the audience were completely fooled by you" "Most actors would give their right arm for a chance like this" "Both arms very probably" "All right then" "I think it's rather good" "I always wanted to play a dashing juvenile" "Sit down here,Jimmy" "What" "You may have to sprinkle further the razor up a little bit later on to get it back in time but right now it is perfect" "Now for hair" "You are not going to shave my head,are you?" "No,no nothing to be afraid,look" "Take cares of you" "All service fixed" "I think so,Major" "Good" "You want to get this on" "It's a bit tight under the arms" "It's not meant to fit" "You look marvelous, do bump them" "That's how I feel like something else in the cold war" "That will be wear off by tomorrow" "Tomorrow?" "Is that all time I've got?" "Effective from midnight tonight you are on the strings of Monty's personal staff" "Does he know I'm coming?" "Of course he knows that you are coming don't forget when you get down there,watch him like a hawk" "Wherever he goes,try and get his mannerisms,the way he walks,everything" "You can't tell me only about understudy." "I see,look at this coat,I mean is hopeless" "Is it?" "Yes,you're fit for active service" "Here is your documents" "Hear her,talking to you, quite rightly speaking" "AB 64,driving license, restricted area permit headquarters permit,railway warrant, and movement order" "Portsmouth?" "That's were Monty is at the moment" "You'll traveling on the 1130 from Leeds" "Major,I've some travel warrant and rations,come along" "Don't forget this" "I see" "Who is going to meet me when I get down there?" "Dawson,Colonel Dawson,if you get into a jam just go to him" "I'm worried about the time,Major" "Jimmy,Good Luck" "See you soon back" "Daw..?" "Dawson" "Oh,yes,Dawson" "I'll be back in a moment,Major" "You,out of it come on roll up your guts" "What do you think you are doing,your clumsy" "Yes" "Go On" "Nothing,Sergeant" "Staff Sergeant to you" "You're the new boy,aren't you?" "Yes,Staff Sergeant" "The first thing we got to do is to learn to get up in the morning,got it?" "Yes,Staff Sergeant" "Right" "What are you staring at, come on,let's have you" "I'll be back in 10 minutes,I want to see you washed,shaved and chimed,got it?" "You ought to get a marching dispatcher call" "Blimey,you say it" "What was you calling cuber clock?" "Drivers,Attend,Charge" "Drivers ready for your inspection,Sir" "Drivers,Spread" "Cpl Walker" "Sir" "You'll be driving me to day in that Humber over there" "Yes Sir" "My name is Dawson" "Stay as close to the General as you can without attract attention" "Yes,Sir" "Right,Corporal,let's go" "Come on,sort them out, man" "What's your game Cpl?" "Watch it" "Well done,Walker" "Here,are try to be silly?" "I beg you pardon" "All this polishing log" "That's fairly like you would do you?" "Well,even if you can't do him the first day,at least you did your bid" "Knock next time" "I did knock" "Soft ears" "This has just arrived,Colonel" "Thank you,Miss" "They've given us the itinerary" "First stop Gibraltar,than on to Algers" "Do they mention a date?" "Yes,you leave a week today" "Probably there's vengeance in there" "Excuse me Col Lt James is back" "Fine,show him in" "Hello,Jimmy,how are you" "Fine.thanks" "Bet you won't be sorry to say good bye to Cpl Walker" "Come and sit yourself down" "Dawson told us they gave you a bit of rough time down there" "It wasn't too bad" "Did you get what you wanted, that's the point" "I was able to study him pretty thoroughly" "And?" "I don't know,I don't know if it is going to work" "It isn't I don't think I can imitate his voice and mannerisms" "There are more or less tricks, I can get them all right" "It's the actual personality" "That will come too" "I don't know that it will" "It's one thing getting up on the stage for a couple of minutes but I've watched him,close to, seen the effect he has on people" "You're a professional actor,you'll learn to do it just like any other part" "If you can handle Charley's aunt, Monty would be a cake walk" "I know that I can look like him but that isn't enough" "I've never commanded not even on a platoon level in the army" "There is no questioning of you actually commanding" "But it got to be there,inside, the ability to,don't you see?" "Listen James,I'll never had ask you to do this job if I hadn't complete confidence in you as an actor so,stop worrying" "I'd like to do it" "I liked to play Hamlet at the Old Vic but it doesn't mean I'll be any good" "You better go and change anyway" "I have to say it,didn't I?" "This is all right Jimmy" "I suppose that is better than being overconfident" "Is it?" "With a week to go we haven't any time Primadonna stuff" "I'll get him back into it" "You'll have to do better than that keep him working night and day, don't give him time to think" "Yes,all right but let us give him a few hours breather" "No,start him off straight away, just don't give him time to think" "That's the way to tackle it" "Which is about to begin will be one of the most important battles in English history" "Good,go into it,it's coming,it's coming" "All this is necessary is that every officer of man.Oh,terrible" "What school did you go to when you were 14?" "St Paul's" "Good" "What were you captain of?" "Rugby first XV" "Do you mind?" "Sorry" "What are your two favorite books?" "The Bible and Togran's Progress" "See that,typical stuff, using time and time again when he is listening to people, work on that one Jimmy" "There you are,study it again" "What was your rank at the end of the world war1 ?" "Captain" "No.Lieutenant Colonel" "Not much difference is it?" "I should get in indigestion you know" "That's out.Monty doesn't suffer from it" "All right,Jimmy,that's the air craft" "Line up of waiting officers, navy,army,air force" "All we need the governor's residence" "Leave that till later,let's rehearse the arrival to Gibraltar first" "Now listen,Jimmy,point one,the governor won't be at the airport himself instead he will send his ADC, a Major Tennant" "Tennant" "Point two." "You will be met by the Garrison Commander,in this case an admiral" "Point three." "Don't rush it.Take your time." "Make it human" "Yes,Sir.Who else will be there?" "We got a list,and there is one man in particular" "Carlton,Lt Col" "That's him,Carlton" "He served with you in the South Eastern Command" "You'll have a special word for him" "But how would I recognize him?" "He will be presented to you by the Admiral" "Let's try it once" "Miss B ,you're Colonel Carlton" "I'll stand you by" "All set.Now the plane has just taxied to a stop" "The guard present arms.Short pause and now you approach him" "Salute" "Good" "I'm the admiral now" "Welcome to Gibraltar,Sir" "Glad to be back" "Major Tennant,I believe?" "Yes,Sir.God trip,Sir?" "Very smooth" "This way,Sir" "This is my chief of staff,Captain Knowles" "Commander Baker" "Colonel Carlton" "Nice to see you again,Carlton" "Thank you,General" "It was a bit warmer,when we last met" "Yes indeed,Sir" "I'm sorry,Sir" "Don't apologize" "If you do that on the day,which God forbid just give him a look,the ground will open up for him" "Ah,Jimmy,relax for five minutes" "Harvey,I like a word with you" "I mean,fancy apologizing,if he only progressed that far,well" "He just hasn't done it,has he?" "It is just nerves" "I told them we were ready this morning" "We're obviously not" "Send him off like this,we couldn't get out of the plane" "Don't panic,I've got a vague idea" "You are in a bad way" "Come on and have a glass of water in your office" "I think this may work" "Can't you tell me where we are going?" "Jimmy,you trust me,don't you?" "Of course,I do" "Why?" "And yet you don't believe me,when I tell you you can do this show,you think I'm just kidding you along" "I am taking you to see somebody, who is going to convince you" "The only person,in fact,who really can" "Monty" "Will you say that again?" "Monty sent for you" "You see he doesn't show your lack of confidence" "He wants to tell you face to face" "He sent for me?" "Yeah" "He should be authority,you know" "Thank you,Lt" "All right,Jimmy" "He is only in the flesh of lunch now" "Come in" "Well,it's been a wonderful evening, doesn't change from homework" "I feel good and really relaxed for the first time in ages" "You can outlive it,good isn't it?" "Yes,very good,glad to hear it Jimmy fit for anything" "On top of the world" "Good" "Because this is it,you are leaving tonight" "Tonight?" "It's all right,just relax and got a whole hour" "Whole hour,is that all?" "Come on,Jimmy" "But we will never make it" "I say this also a bit big" "Nonsense,it's perfect,fits like one of mine" "Don't go too far,Colonel.Here is the Major" "Miss B !" "Sorry,Brigadier" "I want a gold chain,that goes across here,please" "Sorry,you got a wrist watch,haven't you?" "Herbin told me that Monty always has a gold chain across the chest?" "Don't panic,General,I got a chain back" "Miss B don't forget the handkerchief" "We have some handkerchiefs down with Monty's initial on them" "You want me to drop one,I suppose" "I say the boy is really caught on" "Handkerchiefs" "It's got a key on one end,penknife on the other,don't try tell anybody the time" "Time is getting near" "I'll check outside" "Jimmy,just one thing more, whilst you are actually you are on the job you'll draw the general's pay, Monty's own suggestion" "He said if James is good enough to wear my uniform,he's good enough to draw my pay" "That's was very kind of him" "How much does he get btw?" "I'm afraid I don't know" "You are in the Pay Corps aren't you?" "Excuse me,help yourselves to your glasses,Colonel" "I brought along a little something of my own" "Just to speed the parting guest" "I'm awfully sorry,I should have thought of that,you know" "Hey,Miss B what's going on here?" "Vodka,quite safe vodka, no trace on the breath you know" "Marvelous,Miss B,marvelous" "Jimmy" "Logan" "Miss B stay with the tipple keep it in the bathroom cupboard" "Cheers everyone" "Dazvadanya,Russian,you know" "Polish,naturally" "Well,Hester,we'd better say our good bye here we shan't have the opportunity at the airport" "Good Luck,General" "Thank you,Miss B" "Good Luck,Brigadier,take care of yourself" "Of course I will,Miss B, I'm all I got" "Come on" "Come on Hester,let's go polish off that vodka" "How are you feeling?" "All right" "Don't worry,Jimmy,they are feeling much more nervous than you are" "You're on" "Jimmy" "You're on" "Glad to have you with us,Sir" "You are lucky to get here in one of those" "I don't know,I think they are here to stay" "You know Harvey?" "How do you do" "How do you do,Sir" "Major Tennant,Sir" "Smooth trip,Sir?" "No trouble at all" "I say" "Our Chief Staff Officer,Cpt Morton" "My Secretary, Commander Higgs" "Cpt Brand" "Commander Blekely" "Colonel Wentworth" "Colonel Carlton" "Major Evans" "You know,Colonel Carlton,Sir" "Oh,yes,Carlton,we're old friends, nice to see you again,Carlton" "Thank you,General" "We lost a few enemies since we last met" "Yes indeed,Sir" "Took us a bit of time,got their in the end,we haven't stopped yet" "We'll save some for you" "I hope so,Sir" "Good" "Thank you,Gentlemen" "Tennant," "Sir?" "Open the window,someone has been smoking in here" "Yes,Sir" "Hello,Monty,good to see you again" "Rusty,looking very fit" "Yes, and you too.You had a good trip?" "Excellent,fine weather all the way" "We shan't need you for some time, Sergeant,you'd better stick around" "Yes,Sir" "Sir" "Excuse me,I found this on the airfield" "Very observant of you,Lt" "I simply can't get over it, it's really staggering" "I'm glad to think I look the part,Sir" "How about me?" "Did I sound all right?" "Yes,of course" "Do you really think so?" "I was as nervous as anything before you arrived" "Cigarette?" "I'm afraid that would be quite out of character" "Good Lord,yes of course I forgot" "You must pull me up if I make a slip like that again" "Would you like to have a shower and settle down in your room before.." "Come in" "Brigadier,Harvey,Sir" "Harvey,how do you do" "How do you do,Sir" "And Tennant,show the General to his quarters,will you?" "Thank you,Rusty" "General looking fit,Sir" "It's quite extraordinary I've known old Monty for years" "I know exactly how you feel" "I shall dine out on this after the war" "Come along and sit down" "Thank you" "Now then,what's the form?" "Now we've got Monty here,Sir we'd like the rumors to start in as big away as possible" "Started days ago,your boys have seen to that too" "It is a small place you know" "The quicker they get to Berlin,the better,Sir" "If you could think of.." "think of any short cuts,Sir" "Let me think" "I wonder come and have a look at my rogue's gallery,that might give you a lead" "Right,Sir" "Plenty of choice,you know, more enemy agents poaching on the rock than there are monkeys" "I hope they are tamed,Sir" "Yes,we got them all at the end of a chain,quite a long one" "They can't feel it dragging" "Here they are" "Carl Nielsen" "Jolly useful bloke,we feed him no end of rubbish" "Quicker than phoning Berlin in most cases" "I wonder if you could stretch a point socially and invite him to Government House?" "That's easy,he dines here,quite often" "How long since his last visit?" "He was up here about a fortnight ago" "Perhaps it's time he made another call,Sir" "Yes,not a bad idea" "Get me Mr Carl Nielsen,will you?" "Is it him?" "Just arrived" "Oh,Lord" "Take it easy,during the head,just remember speaking without thinking is like shooting without aiming" "I read that somewhere" "It's all right for you" "The fact is" "I must ask you to treat our dinner party tonight in the strictest confidence" "You intrigue me,Your Excellency" "I got what they call VIP staying under my roof" "He is passing through on his way through to a top secret rendez vous but in view of our friendship and quite extraordinary contributions you have made to our cause" "I felt we could relax security this evening" "Of course,who is it?" "General Montgomery" "Really?" "It would be delightful to see the general again" "Our last meeting was most stimulating" "Here we are ,Monty a very good friend of ours,as you know, Mr Carl Nielsen,General Montgomery" "Delighted,Mr Nielsen" "Thy you honored,General" "Brigadier Harvey" "How do you do" "Carl reminds me that you met before,Monty" "Carl" "Drink?" "What will you have sherry?" "Thank you your excellency" "Some of your delicious Fino" "I'll get them,Sir" "What about you,Harvey?" "I'm all right,thank you,Sir" "And for you,Sir?" "Whiskey" "I thought I recognized you the moment you came in,Mr Nielsen" "Didn't connect the name at first,though" "I feel very flattered" "I didn't expect you to return the compliment" "I was a very humble citizen in those days" "I don't often forget a face just trying to place where it was" "Sir" "Thank you" "Cheers" "Your health,General" "The there were all that fuss about the Skoda gun,we had quite a chat about it" "I tried very hard to impress your government" "Oh,yes the Skoda gun,not a bad weapon that" "I tried to get the War Office and tested, you may remember?" "Did you,Sir?" "Oh,yes" "Of course in 1938 there were quite a lot of sales resistance in certain countries,if you don't mind me saying so" "I hope I didn't seem disinterested?" "Not at all,you were very polite" "It was I who was rude in trying to combine business with pleasure,no failing of mine" "Of course Buckingham Palace Garden parties is hardly a place to try and sell guns" "Oh no,quite so,those were heavier days and let's hope they come back again soon" "Well,I am no humbling,and you both have come up a few places since then" "Carl is a very influential man,Monty" "And what's more,he is far from being neutral,where we are concerned" "Shall we go in?" "Tell me,General,do you think the war is going to last much longer?" "I never make prophecies,Mr Nielsen" "English history is littered with enough generals who made the wrong guesses" "But you do see the end in sight?" "The end is always in sight" "The trouble is,sometimes the end is a distance away" "Yes,there is no doubt about it these thousands bomber raids must have a devastating effect,don't you agree,Monty?" "Hit them with six with all you got, that's always been my contention" "Carl,don't smoke your own" "Forgive me,these are something rather special" "General" "I don't use them,I'm afraid but don't let me stop anybody else,please" "Haven't seen one of those since before the war,you must have a secret contact,Carl" "You'll all excuse me,I think I'll turn in" "I have a certain amount of paperwork to get through before leaving tomorrow" "Yes,of course,Monty,I'm sorry but it's your own fault you know you shouldn't be such a good talker" "General?" "One last favour" "Surely,what is it?" "My youngster would love an autograph" "Of course,delighted" "I think we can do better than that for the young man so if you excuse me just for the moment" "I don't know what Harvey has got up his sleeve but I expect he'll take care of your boy" "He collects autographs,does he?" "Yes,he is very keen" "Sometime ago I was able to get him Churchill's" "Yes,I used to play stamps,once upon a time,never kept it up though" "One should never neglect a hobby" "I hope you don't mind ,Sir, I remember we had one of these" "Good" "I have a pen,thank you ,Sir" "There we are,thank you,Sir" "Thank you,my boy will be thrilled" "Good Night,General" "Good Night,Mr Nielsen" "Good Night,Brigadier" "Good Night" "Thank you,your Excellency, it has been a memorable evening" "Yes,it has indeed" "You saved the day,damn all right" "Me?" "One of you,you ruddy Skodagun I was ready to jump out of the window" "Do you think he bought it?" "I don't know,he is a pretty smooth customer" "Good Bye,Jimmie,you deserve a good night rest" "You got an early start in the morning" "Sir,we had a radio message,two German fighters milling about somewhere routine staff,they have been engaged" "Right.Thank you ,Flight Lt" "Sir" "A jolly good day for it" "Yes,Sir" "Hey,Skip,we are in luck" "You don't have to tell me" "I said we were in luck" "Bandits heading for home chased by our gallant Gold Race" "On the level?" "Yeah,panic over,we are now taken reservations for dinner" "Good" "This was false alarm,Sir, apparently it is all clear now" "Glad to hear it" "Flight Lt,I don't want to contradict you but is that a thing to worry about?" "Excuse me,Sir" "What's that,Sir?" "That" "I'll just check,Sir" "Something coming in,Skip" "Looks like it is boarded" "You think he wants to know,Skip" "A left turn again" "Coming on" "We haven't got the speed" "He can't steer" "He is not going to make it" "It proofs one thing,Berlin swallowed the bait all right" "That's what we want,isn't it?" "Yeah,I'm afraid it is" "Here you are,Sir" "Ready?" "Ready for Act 2 fit for anything" "Just follow me,Harvey, and you won't get hurt" "Now,guys, listen" "Your job is to escort General Montgomery to allied HQ and make sure that he gets there" "Period" "We have a tip of enemy agents looking after him,so it is up to you" "A word of encouragement if anything should happen to the general every last one of you will be court marshaled" "Period" "Sir,attention" "Hello,Sir,this way,Sir" "What's going on,Corporal?" "Don't worry,Sir,they are carrying out safety precautions" "That was quite a ride your chaps did" "Sorry about that,Sir,couldn't take any chances" "Period" "Excuse me,Sir,this way" "There you are,they told me the plane got in" "Have trouble with the customs or something?" "He's pleased to see us,you can tell" "How are you,Sir?" "What drives you away from home,run out of cigarettes?" "No,I can offer you one,if you like" "Not in front of me,Logan" "Quite right,you keep to it,we have to" "Both flashed with success,I see" "But a dangerous state of mind,sit down everyone" "Thank you,Sir" "I suppose you come all this way to tell us,they've called it off ?" "Quite the reverse" "It's going over big" "It is?" "Bigger than anyone ever expected" "I've been sent to broaden things out still further" "I hope you both feeling fit" "It depends what you got in mind" "The whistle stop tour of North Africa inspecting troops,a lot" "For the time you're finished Jerries really believe something is happening" "When do we start?" "You are leaving tonight" "Tonight?" "Look,I don't know about Jimmy,but I could do with a breather" "You are not going to get it,I'm afraid" "Monty is due to address a meeting of Staff Officers here in exactly 2 hours time" "Thanks for telling me" "I got to say all this?" "It's really all typed out for you" "The allied forces would be present and what's more,the Americans will be there" "So a wrong word could be politically explosive as well" "What are you trying to do?" "Build up his confidence?" "No deviations,Jimmy,it's got to be exactly as written" "This is a 3 Act play" "Hey,Mac,no smoking" "Orders from the general,no smoking" "Have a good house?" "I should think so,everything is paid" "Cosmopolitan bunch" "I've seen one or two already that look like a security risk" "Yes,I spotted one too" "Tell me where?" "There on one side,British Colonel, wearing his sundown belt wrong way round" "Better keep an eye on him" "Right" "Right" "Let me have your attention" "This meeting should be treated as top secret" "Our distinguished visitor is here for an obvious reason" "Let's make sure,that reason stays in the family" "There is no necessity for me to introduce him by name" "Because you all going to find his face very familiar,that's all" "Yeah,yeah,OK,let's take off" "Good Afternoon,Gentlemen" "Can you hear me at the back?" "No" "Very well,I'll speak up then" "How is that?" "We all know,we all have a pretty good idea why we are gathered here today" "Very soon,we are going to send out invitations to a party to a party we are going to throw" "These invitations are going out on a large scale,a very large scale" "What a bloody mess" "Can you all hear me clearly?" "Seeing your faces reminds me some of the stories that we are going around for short time back" "Blurbing about,that is not in the script" "What have we got in his lines?" "One of my remembering was that, it took no time at all to train the American army" "Because you only have to train them to go one way" "Another,that the English were prepared to fight the last American" "I agree with you,they are rotten stories" "And I'm delighted you didn't laugh" "They implied that we were on different sides" "We're fighting separate wars" "We are not,we are in the same war and we are in it together to the finish" "Hear,hear,hear" "We may wear different uniforms and some of us don't draw as much pay and that applies right away to the top" "I can speak with some authority" "I see that found its mark" "Of course we don't always see eye to eye" "We can't expect you to understand anything about cricket" "And it goes without saying the baseball remains to us one of the unexplained mysteries" "I remember an American colleague once inquiring if I had seen a bourbon pitcher" "I thought he was asking me about a new film" "That's a sort of thing that could lead to an international incident" "Because as we all know,we do take our sports more seriously than we do war" "But whatever our material differences, we share one common belief" "That is the freedom is worth fighting for" "I hope you get to the coming party and I hope you to live to talk about it and make sure the invitations never go out again" "If you excuse the american expression" ""Lets make it heaven,hell and hoboken by Christmas"" "How much further,Sergeant?" "We'll be back at HQ within an hour,Sir" "Good" "Keep going,Sergeant" "Right,Sir" "Well,it was a man,whether it was planted or merely astray,we'll never know" "Anyway,that's beside the point as far as you are concerned,Jimmy, the show is virtually over" "Over?" "Is that official?" "I'll have to wait for confirmation from London but baring the shouting,yes" "And what then?" "We've putting you into a solitary more or less but I made sure the cell is comfortable and you'll have that old lay Harvey for company" "And after that?" "Back to Corporal Walker" "A troop ship from Alex, and home by the back door" "And then the Pay Corps" "Well,any time" "Always open to offers" "At least I shan't have to play anybody 10 percent" "OK,Jimmy,I'll drive you out" "Good Bye,Sir" "Cheerio" "That's the place,Jimmy" "Never know that there is a war on" "Thank you,Sir" "Open up" "Thought there was something odd, this running three months old" "Just about to suit my mood" "Any news from HQ?" "Nothing official on" "You know something?" "Yeah" "I don't see why I can't tell you" "The old man got definite word through today" "The Germans have held back 60000 men and one panzer division in the South" "Is that because of us?" "Directly because of us, rather because of you" "Not bad for an amateur" "Right" "Second relief,make move" "Message from HQ to Brigadier Harvey" "Very good,Sir" "Commander" "Excuse me ,Sir,message for the brigadier" "Thank you,Adams" "Brought up from the gate,Sir" "Right,thank you" "Sir" "Anything important?" "No,the old man wants me down in town" "Never mind,the young chap like you should get out a bit more" "You'll be all right" "I won't stir" "Don't relax too much,you might thought up an elopement,see you later" "Shall I get you anything,Sir?" "No,thank you,Sergeant" "Very good,Sir" "Adams" "Sir?" "I expect you are surprised finding me like this" "No,Sir" "I got all the conflictual jobs,Sir" "I think the general feeling is that Adams cooking is not so hot but its security is hundred percent" "If that's the case perhaps security wouldn't mind if you had a drink with me,I hate drinking alone" "Thank you very much,Sir" "Where will I find Colonel Logan?" "You might try the Officer's Mess,Sir" "Did he leave a message for me,Brigadier Harvey?" "Not that I know of,Sir" "Thanks" "Hi there,hi" "Let me buy you a drink" "Hello,have you seen Logan, I have a date with him" "You got yourself a long wait" "Is he out?" "I wouldn't put it as strong as that, he got slightly cut,boy,can't he hold it" "Put him in bed an hour ago" "Did he mention sending for me, I got a message out at the villa" "He never mentioned it" "Hey,something wrong?" "Operator" "Give me Jupiter 40" "What's going on?" "What?" "Are you quite sure?" "Keep trying" "Line is dead" "Look,get Logan and tell him exactly what I told you" "I'm going back to the villa" "Hi,you" "Sir?" "Get in this car" "I just.." "Get in the car" "I just come off duty,Sir" "I'll put you on again" "Could I ask what for,Sir?" "Get in" "Remember that?" "Remember it,I was in it" "Don't tell me you were a pro" "Only one thing stopped me for a great musical comedy career,doubt" "Spot it" "Doesn't matter what we find there when we get back,keep your mouth shut" "Right,Sir" "What's your name btw?" "Butterfield,Sir" "Ueber die mauer" "I'm leaving in a minute,you know" "He is not here" "Why didn't you tell me so?" "Good thing that didn't happen the night you appeared" "Oh,yes,Sir" "I've got some old stage photos and press cuts of my repertoire if you care to see them?" "Yes,I like to" "I'll get them" "Shouldn't be a guard,Sir?" "Shut up" "The General should be treated in accordance with international Law" "He wishes to interrogate you" "I will answer precisely" "Two questions" "My name,my rank" "The colonel says you would soon be in German occupied territory where you will be meeting an old friend of yours,Fieldmarshall Rommel" "Get away" "Get away" "Come on" "OK" "They are leaving the hut, we must reach the beach" "They are coming,Sir" "How many are there?" "Looks like half a dozen" "Right" "Better get started" "When I shout,hit the back" "Right,Sir" "They'll spot our uniforms,Sir" "That's possible" "They are getting very close ,Sir" "They are getting bloody close" "You wait for the word" "Is he dead?" "No,his heart is beating I can say,clever" "Better late than never,I suppose" "D day plus 1" "Under cover of constant sea and air support a build up goes on" "From hundred of landing cars,wave after wave of troops pour ashore" "A bridgehead now extending over 15 miles is being consolidated as the German defenses continue to crumble" "Troops on the beach were confronted by a familiar figure" "Wearing his famous beret and coat" "General Montgomery was there to see for himself" "Why don't you watch were you are going?" "Who do you think you are?" "Yes,who do you think you are,Monty" "Subtitles by Seglora"
