It's more than forty years ago that I saw the film. Now I hesitate as in my previous message I don't see the real actors...? Here some new youtube with the real actors...

This is from a TV series from the mid 70s about Australian bushranger Ben Hall;
opening and closing credits ( Temp, since you like the Witchfinder General theme, I'm sure you'll like the closing credits of this one which start around the 2:49 mark)

Triceratops,
it isn't exactly a film soundtrack but I couldn't resist to present one of my favourites: "The African Queen" I give the last episode but you can see the whole film too...
All from 1951. At school I was the best in reading, but in 1951 just able to read the subtitles (in Belgium always the original film with French and Dutch subtitles...) I could hardly read the subtitles in Dutch before they moved away...
And "The Great Caruso" Mario Lanza in 1951.
An interesting piece of music I found this evening too: From "Requiem for a dream":
Kind regards from your friend, Paul.

And there was always Davy Crockett who "killed him a bear when he was only three"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAVN_n0PljQ (funny I had remembered it as "killed hisself a bear". I don't know how true the Disney film was to the real Davy Crockett (probably not very). I can remember the cartoon character Baby Crockett and arguing with some friends as to whether he was "King of the Family" or "King of the Jamily" - we hadn't done "joined up" writing at that stage in our lives and some thought the "f" looked like a "j". I see Paul R, refers to "Show Boat". Edna Ferber (the author of "Show Boat") seems to have fallen out of fashion, but in my view it was quite brave of her to include a mixed-race character (Julie) in the source novel of "Show Boat". I saw the 1960 version of "Cimarron" (based on another of Ms Ferber's books) with Mum and my little brother and quite liked it though probably much of the subtlety went over my head at that age. (Mum wasn't very pleased about the lynching scene as my brother was only 6 at the time).

I was so disappointed when I found out his name was "Colonel Custer" and not "Colonel Custard" - well there was a children's character (not real; it was somebody dressing up) called "Mr Pastry" when I was a kid.

I watched this at the weekend. Eight people meet up in a store during a blizzard, but which of them, if any, are telling the truth. Expect the usual violence and bad language inherent in a Tarentino film. At 2 hours 40 minutes it is quite a long film. The closing titles are run to this song, first time I've heard this in about 50 years;

Yes Triceratops, nice theme, some say it has resemblings with "Il Silentio". And I don't remember the film either...as I saw nearly all the films of the Sixties... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commando_(1962_film) And I see now that also Belgium was involved in the coproduction... And you see no real Holywood stuff, nor a UK film. It is perhaps therefore that I didn't see it in Ostend Belgium in the Sixties... Found also this: https://www.silversirens.co.uk/stewart-granger/legion-s-last-patrol/

I learned the first ime about the recent ennoblement when I read "The Kingdom in the Sun" from the Viscount of Norwich about Sicily. By doing research about the author as I always do I learned that his father Duff Cooper received the ennoblement only in 1952...

Thanks again Triceratops for this piece of music.
There was a vague rememberance that I had seen this film. After all in my childhood I had seen nearly all new American films...but now I see that it was certainly on television... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witness_(1985_film) To be certain I looked on internet nearly expecting for sure that it was available...but no all copies were removed, one was the fully one with a Japanese like girl on the foreground and the film on a bowed screen and to see under 45 degrees and I lost it...at the end I checked it with looking to "clips" perhaps that is allowed, bypassing the law,... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GxFab5uMPc
And yes it was the one that I have seen in the time...
Kind regards, Paul.

Triceratops,
yes beautiful piece of music
But to be honest I prefer the piece used for the filmmusic...I skipped through the rest but skipped a bit too quick? I hope I don't "offend" (the Dutch: "voor het hoofd stoten" (kicking before the head) is translated that way in my dictionary) Meles meles with that anti mélomane comment...
I recognize some elements of the philosophy that we commented in the former thread, but to be honest I find it difficult stuff. If nordmann came once from his "isolement" (isolation?)...he could us (I mean our whole group) explain in layman's terms, where it really is about...
Thanks again Triceratops for pushing me to seek it all from the net...
Kind regards from Paul.

Why not just always highlight and press ctrl-c before pressing send?
That way it can be easily reposted if the original gets lost into the ether.

I don't quite understand Meles meles, it happens when I tap many times "preview"...I write a text and see in my tekst (that's also something: this word appears Always in Dutch and I have to correct it every time as the word Always, which appears Always with a capital and I have to correct too, as many other words apppearing with a capital, without actiion from me)a fault against the English language, as many times happens with my dialect Dutch background, also disturbed by the offical Dutch and my background in both French and German. Then I correct or seek first in my dictionary the right translation and correct and press then again preview. And I do that several times during composing my text...and suddenly as I press again the preview, my text is gone and the window appears: the page you can't reach anymore (in Dutch) or something similar and then "no mode specified"...and I only press "send" at the very last moment and only once... "press ctrl-c" I have to say honestly , that I don't know what that is...after 12 years on the internet with windows...
And btw, I am so happy the way I am working...nordmann wanted to help me too...and I can't blame anyone for my difficulties, as I want it the easy way and as it happens only from time to time...
And I thank you Meles meles for trying to help me...

I've been tlod by wargamers (who tend to obsess about such minutiae) that at that period the two battalions were markedly different - 1st Bn being mostly Brummies, 2nd mostly rural farm hands. They also claim the "Welsh" figures are inflated - they count anyone giving their address as Brecon as Welsh, but many moved there (mostly married men) specifically to enlist with their family close by, and were more Hereford & Gloucester folk by upbringing. Conversely, regiments such as the KSLI had a higher proportion of Welshmen than might be expected as the lower minimum height requirement for Light Infantry let them scrape under the bar.

The film 'Zulu' is full of annoying little errors. My particular gripe is that the Zulus are nearly all depicted using the Mark E Assegai, but that was only introduced in 1880, and even at the battle of Majuba Hill it equipped only 30% of regular forces. At Rorke's Drift they were still using mostly the Mark C Assegai and a few Mark Bs. The Mark D Assegai, with the stainless steel blade developed for navy use, remained experimental and was never issued as standard.

The "Welshness" isn't an error, though. It was a deliberate Baker decision to big-up the Welshness for his own reasons.
