- "Lord, Didn't It Rain"
Dick Player makes an escape but suffers dreadfully because of ongoing bad weather and rain and at one point is given a lift by an SS officer. He becomes sick, runs out of money, and eventually tries to get help from the American consulate who turns him down. This in reality was the circumstances of an escape by Anthony Murray 'Peter' Allan.
I have a shit load of work to do. And here I am binge watching a 50 year old TV series
Me, too, and it pisses me off!
2 years on, did you get that work done ?
I absolutely love this series so far well made. I can't believe it's not more popular
At the 48th Minute and 20thSecond there was a scene that made me cry and really felt the British World War 2 heroes sacrificed a lot. It made me cry when even An American Diplomat could not help a British Airman in Vienna Austria, Pre-December 1941
The scriptwriter must of got Carpal Tunnel from typing "Cough" every other line
A curious episode, half tragedy, half 'Allo 'Allo.
I shall say this only once……
Why isnt this more popular? I'm pretty knowledgeable about classic ww2 movies and series and I have. Ever even heard of this movie before I just stumbled upon this at random. Does anyone else have any recommendations for more lessar known movies and series
Secret Army, Manhunt 1969+, Enemy at the Door are a few good ones.
Colditz is a British television series co-produced by the BBC and Universal Studios and screened between 1972 and 1974.
Universal Studios were only involved with the first series.
.....hence the inclusion of Robert Wagner as an unlikely Colditz inmate
I know he's the enemy... but I really, really love Ulmann. Somehow despite being a hardcase, the guy is likable. I have no idea why.
*****
Well either way, I like him a lot.
Is that lickable or likeable? Are you sound? Are you a Wykehamist?
Likable is an acceptable spelling of likeable. So says my spell-check anyway. XD
He is not a hypocrite - genuine/sincere, disciplined, dedicated to excellence, sophisticated, unpretentious, intelligent, careful, discreet, etc.
MrKiriakopoulos He's an officer in the opposing army. By definition he's an enemy.
@45:28 Michael Wisher. The first actor to play Davros in Dr Who, Genesis of the Daleks.
The old 'Tart with a heart'... needs must and I wouldn't blame any woman for having to do it in very difficult times.
Also, the chubby officer who picked Player up was... rather nice for an SS guy.
Perhaps there is there an ulterior motive to your comment.
Bill Hiers the black uniform in the cafe is a tankers uniform. Not part of the SS
@@JohnoO_O_ SS Panzer Division Totenkopf he has the deaths head insignia.
@@stevenclark9987 Interesting thanks. I was unaware that the Wermacht Panzer Grenadiers also used the deaths head insignia.
Can't any of you read? He meant the *chubby* officer that *picked him up* when he was standing outside in the rain.
The officer even said that if his own driver wasn't on leave, his driver wouldn't have bothered to stop.
the woman goes out in a red dress and comes back in a blue one.
my kind of woman …
tough episode to watch...don't know why
i don't know why Dick keeps escaping he keeps getting sick
how in the world did this guy keep that cough going?? He must've damaged his vocal cords or something.. I hope that story of this poor guy begging for food at the American Embassy is NOT a true story...Breaks my heart if true...
Probably was true, yanks only look after themselves that’s why the won’t go for universal healthcare
@@kevinpierce3458 this was a good tv series.
@@kevinpierce3458 that was actually very selfish and self centered of you to say as well. Touche'
I need her help.
What happen to Dick Player later?
He`s a decent human being....
I quit after 30 minutes of Player coughing his guts up......
10:00 A snap escape!
The British and New Zealanders turned away our American Citizens from their Embassies during the iran hostage crisis. That said, I wish we had helped that British Officer.
As a kiwi, I feel embarrassed the New Zealand embassy did that to American citizens.
kw d
The Canadians took your embassy people in.
Karma, you also never helped us during the Suez
Incorrect. That was one of the inaccuracies in the film.
payback.
Ulmann I mean
Ffs, grow up Carter!
OTT
For God's sake. Churchill was half American. Diplomatic coward in the penultimates.
Take Player off the escape rota, German soldiers LOVE him and want to be his friend. Its a liability.
20:53 Looks right down the barrel! BBC too stingy for second takes.
Depressing fellow coughs too much!
The guy was just a cheapskate.
not the best episode, very tedious
He wouldn't beg like that..He would be picked up within minutes....Great series but this was very badly acting...Annoying it ruined the whole series for me now
is this in any way true, or just hollywood, crap
It's based on the experiences of Colditz POWs and in some places it's realistic. Dick Player's escape is based on Peter Allen's. Also Maj Pat Reid MBE MC was technical advisor on the show, and he'd written about his experiences in two best-selling books.
This is British anyway and nothing to do with Hollyweird.
