Runflat Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Stuart Cooper's 1975 film Overlord is available on BBCi at the moment until next Sunday: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00cjznj/Overlord/ It's well worth watching for the archive footage alone (about half the film), even if you think the supporting plot is a bit trite. Actually, I quite liked it. If you want to be picky the use of the panjandrum footage is questionable, but it doesn't really distract. For MV spotters there are tantilising glimpses of folding bicycles, a tilly, QLs, and some Albion CX22S to name but a few. There is also the well known D-Day landing craft sequence, although I don't recall seeing before the amount of footage used here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
