I'm not quite sure why the Union didn't make the young Irish actor change his name, though the older actor is usually billed as 'Col Farrell' which may be the reason why.Sergio (Tipping My Fedora)http://bloodymurder.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169151311037688512.post-8733555195157604772011-12-14T01:13:43.161-08:002011-12-14T01:13:43.161-08:00Well done Prashant, this post a blockbuster in and...Well done Prashant, this post a blockbuster in and of itself! KELLY'S HEROES is very much the joker in the pack, a 1960s counter-culture caper comedy masquerading as a war movie - but fun all the same! I noticed that you like Robert Ryan so much that he appears twice in the cast of THE LONGEST DAY - Incidentally, the Colin Farrell that appears on THE LONGEST DAY (and Richard Attenborough's other great war epis, OH! WHAT A LOVELY WAR) is not the same person as the star of HART'S WAR.Sergio (Tipping My Fedora)http://bloodymurder.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169151311037688512.post-72283655514857720982011-12-13T08:04:22.065-08:002011-12-13T08:04:22.065-08:00I completely missed the book, Charles.
