Kellys Heroes on telly


Lauren Child

Recommended Posts

Guilty pleasure that is, Kellys Heroes is just starting on ITV4.

 

I would watch but I'm busy practicing my other dog impression (required to maintain my H license).

 

Seen it many times and still a favourite of mine.

The theme song gained a new dimension when it was played during our friend James's cremation.

A great film which I watched for the first time in over a decade with my youngster recently on DVD. Lots to enjoy in it :)

 

I too love the Burning Bridges song by the Mike Curb Congregation. Here are the lyrics:

 

Friends all tried to warn me

But I held my head up high

All the time they warned me

But I only passed them by

They all tried to tell me

But I guess I didn't care

I turned my back and

Left them standing there

 

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me

All the lonely feelings and the burning memories

Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door

Burning bridges lost forevermore

 

Joey tried to help me find a job

A while ago

When I finally got it I didn't want to go

The party Mary gave for me

When I just walked away

Now there's nothing left for me to say

 

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me

All the lonely feelings and the burning memories

Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door

Burning bridges lost forevermore

 

Years have passed and I keep thinking

What a fool I've been

I look back into the past and

Think of way back then

I know that I lost everything I thought that I could win

I guess I should have listened to my friends

 

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me

All the lonely feelings and the burning memories

Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door

Burning bridges lost forevermore

 

Burning bridges lost forevermore

What I love about this film is 99% of the vehicles are right for this era not like say pearl harbour where they use reos and various other films that use the wrong trucks it drives me potty. ALWAYS WITH THE NEGATIVE WAVES sorry

 

I'm with you on that :)

:laugh: It's probably to my mind one of the all time best theme songs and has stuck in my head ever since seeing the film for the first time so very many years ago :)

......and yeah.........I know it's sliding off topic but!..........

nothing winds me up more than seeing Jeeps with external fuel fillers and one piece windscreens in WW2 films ! ......and M47/48 Tanks being used as Tigers and Chaffees pretending to be Shermans and White Halftracks painted up as German Halftracks and ...and... and.... and.... etc etc ! :D
