thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:GunsQuinn.jpg

message: I rm ...and later Miller tells him to "think of England and pull the trigger",  so possibly he is English, though with his particular accent, an Anglo-Canadian background would be much more believable. I'd tolerate this poorly enough if there were some credible source for this speculation; without it, no. 
For the benefit of those who might find some value in this content, I counter with speculation of my own. Niven's character (Miller) -- indeed, his character in many films -- is flip and veddy British. He is a particular stereotype of the upper class, a graduate of the British "public" school (equivalent to an American prep school). This stereotype is given to carefully casual mannerisms, cleverly saccharine nicknames, and offhandly cynical references. Such a character deliberately satirizes yet another British stereotype, the stodgy chauvinist whose narrowmindedness leads him to complain in the middle of the Sahara that the teapot is not fully boiling. The latter is fully capable of making without thought the most idiotic remarks -- made with only his viewpoint in mind. The chauvinist (or patriot if you prefer) is fond of urging his fellow men to greater effort on behalf "of King and Country" and so forth, entirely without regard to who is being urged. The flip fob intentionally mocks him, in keeping with the prep school code that nothing is important enough to be taken entirely seriously. In this context and given Peck's purely Californian accent, Miller knows quite well that he invokes a meaningless totem to Mallory. It is not an obscure clue to Mallory's nationality; it is a fine and poisoned edge to Miller's resentment. 
Note that Miller also says, "Be a pal! Be a father to your men!" Yet I think even the slowest-witted amongst us will not speculate that this is anything but idiom. 
For reference, see the black comedy Dr. Strangelove. The mad (and quite American) General Ripper demands that Group Captain Lionel Mandrake -- played by Sellers, in this role quite British and of the same upper-class, public school stamp -- help him manage the ammunition belt for the machine gun which he pulls out of his golf bag. In the name of Her Majesty and the Continental Congress, come here and feed me this belt, boy...The Redcoats are coming! Note the inversion of this particular hallmark of this stereotype. — Xiong熊talk* 10:56, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

message: As noted in the article, Peck's character speaks poor German. Stilted, non-idiomatic, accented. Not what the viewer is told to expect at all from the character. Varlaam (talk) 05:16, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
