Ah, I completely forgot about Enemy at the Gates.  Good movie [;)]

If I had to choose an actor I would go with Coburn. Oh, and what about the aristocratic captain Stransky of that movie (Iron Cross): Maximilian Schell [8D]

There are some nice screen captures to be had from that movie,thanks for the reminder. Wish they would have followed a Russian rifle or smg squad and not done the sniper scenario.

Never watched the movie, but the sniper rifle looks impressive. Many years ago a peer of mine brought his WW2 guns to the range (we call that Ordonnanzwaffen here). He owned a Mosin-Nagant, K98 and Luger 08, and we spent the day by trying to hit targets on 50m (pistol) and 150m (rifle). In comparison to the SSG 69 I normally used back then, the ricol of those old carbines was brutal, in particular the Russian rifle. I wonder how anyone actually could hit targets on long ranges with these guns.

Well, since the Shaw movie was on the Western Front, let me throw out the most hard-bitten character, even more so than Steiner. I forget the name, but it was a 50's TV series called, I think, "combat". His face would make a great icon..

Or how about the US actor (darn poor memory - the guy with Jane Fonda in that cowboy movie where his lazy horse was leaning on the barn and he kept saying "I'll drink to that!") in the war movie where at the end he stabbed a surrendering German soldier not knowing that the war was over? He was also in "The Dirty Dozen".

You are talking about Lee Marvin....

He was a actual WWII vet as well, combat and all.



PyleDriver -> RE: Did Cary Grant do any WitE movies??? (12/15/2010 5:30:16 AM)

It was Vick Morrow, even Dr foo's avatar looks like him...



PyleDriver -> RE: Did Cary Grant do any WitE movies??? (12/15/2010 5:32:05 AM)

Opp's he had two actors in mind...



PyleDriver -> RE: Did Cary Grant do any WitE movies??? (12/15/2010 5:39:33 AM)

Btw, I love Lee Marvin movies. A man among men...Who doesn't love the "Dirty Dozen". Or who doesn't love Charles Bronson the uglyest lead man of all time. With those two in a dark alley, run...



jjoshua -> RE: Did Cary Grant do any WitE movies??? (12/15/2010 5:41:49 AM)

Sorry, I forgot to add Vic Morrow for the 'combat' actor. My bust...

I do have to agree tho, Vic Morrow face is definitely chisled for a war vet look. Too bad he had to die so horribly.



PyleDriver -> RE: Did Cary Grant do any WitE movies??? (12/15/2010 5:52:15 AM)

I love goggle image search. As my memory fails its a couple clicks away. I wasn't sure haw to spell Marrow... He died on the set doing what he loved, can't get much better than that... My wife says I'm going to die with the mouse in my hand...



jjoshua -> RE: Did Cary Grant do any WitE movies??? (12/15/2010 6:00:00 AM)

Perhaps you are right...but to be honest; dying by 'Over Mousing' vs 'Big O'le Chopper Blade'; I'll take the mouse click of death everytime.  My wife has assured me, that my demise will be burned out retina's by PC monitor abuse.

Take care all...luv the game by the way.

No, as some have correctly pointed out, I was thinking of Lee Marvin and Vic Morrow.

Well, the movie where Lee Marvin stabs the German after the war is over is the "Big Red One." That's what the poster was trying to say.

Ah ...OK Thanks. Another character that pops up for the Russian side is the rapist supply-hogginf sadistic German officer in the movie "Stalingrad" who is shot by his own men near the end.
