When Lions Roared ; Grrrr!

Out shopping yesterday with Mary, I picked up two absolute bargains at an aptly named bargain book store. Except they weren't books.

First off, I picked up a video of Coogan's Run, for the princely sum of £1.49. Secondly, a copy of Then There Were Giants ( otherwise known as World War II: When Lions Roared (1994) (TV)). This bemused me from the beginning. Which is least likely:

Michael Caine .... Joseph Stalin
Bob Hoskins .... Winston Churchill
John Lithgow .... Franklin Delano Roosevelt

I'll post about it again when I've actually watched it...

On a similar note, I discovered today that there is a Le Carre adaptation in which George Smiley is played by Denholm "Indiana Jones" Elliot!

Fantastic! On a similarly similar note, Mary and I watched a great voodoo-inspired Murder She Wrote set in Jamaica and starring John Rhys Davies as a disgruntled plantation owner.
