I would have to, reluctantly, (very reluctantly), choose the George Lazenby, as Lazenby came from Queanbeyan, the neighbour of Canberra and a place we Canberrans go to when we want a breath of real life.zmkchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08972549292961948240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-16564331155817049702014-05-10T18:06:05.501+00:002014-05-10T18:06:05.501+00:00OHMSS, definitely.

Perhaps also, as a nation, we were becoming far too 'sophisticated' for films such as 'Birdmen' from 1963 - 'John Wimpenny is the first man to pedal himself through the air for more than half a mile'.

Apparently Mel Brooks asked John Wayne to play a small role in BS and Wayne liked the script but thought it wouldn't suit his image.CulturalSnowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08157706824386160157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-65959349209167142702014-05-07T15:12:25.233+00:002014-05-07T15:12:25.233+00:00Don't remember that, but I can still do a full...Don't remember that, but I can still do a full rendition of the Cresta commercial, with the obligatory "It's frothy man" at the end.Steerforthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07627936539372313828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-35317626315043952062014-05-07T12:43:28.801+00:002014-05-07T12:43:28.801+00:00It's the Kia Ora slogan.

It was a bit off my beat because it was the other end of town, but I remember going to see The Servant there one afternoon some time in the mid-60s, probably bunking off school.<br /><br />The official title of Everybody's At It, according to IMDB, is The Female Response, which sounds a bit more legit somehow.<br /><br />I'm amused that John Wayne shared a double bill with Blazing Saddles! I remember enjoying Freebie and the Bean when it came out, so I'd plump for that, I think.MikePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08589363260977274335noreply@blogger.com
