replies: text: For most of the relevant period there were well over two dollars to the pound, the pound only started to slip in the early seventies when the UK government-of-the-day had to resort to the IMF.  For much of the 1950's there were almost five dollars to the pound.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.150.10.248 (talk) 08:32, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: It wasn't new. The editor made it sound like that Paramount co-distributed the film with Embassy Pictures in the US when the studio only released it Internationally and Embassy only released it in the US. - FilmandTVFan28 (talk) 18:48, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: So it's a matter of it looking like the USA label applies to both distributors? Why don't we keep Paramount at the top and write (int'l) after it, and keep "Embassy Pictures (USA)" as it is? Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 19:16, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

message: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Bourne states 'At the end of the war, he (Frank Bourne) was given the honorary rank of Lieutenant Colonel and appointed OBE.' This page (Zulu_1964_film) claims 'He was the last British survivor of the Battle and died as a full colonel.' What rank did he acheive?

thread_title:  The men of the regiment 

message: The basic premises of the film are true and largely accurate; however, the film must be viewed as simply that and not a historical reenactment of real events.
The words “the film must be viewed as....” are clearly biased, and should be changed to something else. The Very Best Editor (talk) 20:39, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  “Historic Accuracy” - Biased information 

message: Just watched an old and little-remembered western "Apache Drums" (1951). In the film some of the white men are Welsh silver miners (accompanied by a nonconformist minister, who is frequently rebuked for his racism by American characters). They are besieged in a building by the Indians and sing "Men of Harlech" (in Welsh) back at them. I wonder whether this was the inspiration for Stanley Baker having the South Wales Borderers anachronistically singing "Men of Harlech" (a specially-written English verse) at the Zulus. We'd need a source.Paulturtle (talk) 16:15, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
