[@phbrinsden]

All my old stomping grounds when I was a kid out there on summer holidays from UK boarding school. I loved old KL in the 50s and 60s and the lovely rest stations in Frazers Hill and Cameron Highlands. We had fireplaces and porridge for breakfast up there! Quite a restful change from the hot and humid lowlands. Lunch at the Selangor Club! Air Limau by the pool. We lived on Kenny Hill. Good times. Loved Malaya and Malays.

[@hilarityensues]

As a kid growing up in the late '80s to early '90s this movie was on UK terrestrial TV quite a bit. Pretty sure ITV featured it a few times a year daytime to early evening on Saturdays. Always found it very emotive. The old stager regaling the young kid who hangs on his every word with fantasies of an imagined life that he wished he'd had and no adults around to debunk his false valour. Then having to face up to the realities of the world and how real danger is never as romantic as the fantasy. Niven really was a classy actor. There's a warmth, sincerity and even a quaint almost regality to him. Very much a gentleman of a time long past. Roger Moore always commentated that of all the friends he lost through the passing of time that Niven's was the most affecting due to how much of a wonderful person he was. May he Rest in Peace.

Anything David stars in is brilliant.Even when he was only an extra with a small role he brought redeeming qualities to an other wise B rated movie.Sadly missed,RIP.

[@nickpantalones4606]

Thank you for making this film available! David Niven played his role beautifully, as did young Kazuhito Ando. Toshiro Mifune, as always, lends his commanding presence onscreen. Nowadays, the actions of David Niven's character Walter Bradbury would be condemned as *stolen valor*, particularly by overzealous vets who are tired of seeing unscrupulous individuals with phoney military credentials dupe people. Yet his commitment to saving his young ward makes him the hero that anyone, military vet or otherwise, aspire to be.

[@jimmytate7587]

I think you might check Mr. Nivens work during the war. even though he was in a few movies he still served in a commando unit and was active during D-day. Stolen valor does not apply to him

[@nickpantalones4606]

@@jimmytate7587 Did you watch the movie, or did you go straight to the comments section? When I brought up stolen valor, I was referring to David Niven's character Walter Bradbury, not David Niven himself. The movie pivots around the fact that Mr. Bradbury, although he was a military veteran, still saw fit to embellish his service history in order to gain employment. As I mentioned before, I'm not a fan of veterans shaming people publicly for stolen valor, but I respect their (the vets') way of honoring their and their comrades' service and memory.

"It is not such a terrible thing to dream of glory..." To me that is the most amazing thing I've ever heard in a movie. I felt like as if my Father was speaking to me. Yes we all dream of doing great things & becoming more than all our expectations combined. To reach a place of absolute glory or greatness or impeccable integrity. No amount of training or discipline can enable us to reach this place of impeccable rectitude in character or perfection. But its a dream worth dreaming. If not in our ability then may be a miracle of God can make this a reality. What's your dream? Because at times dreams do come true.

[@paulwolf7562]

Don't think, I've ever seen this or heard of this movie? But, one thing I do know... David Niven wasn't a pretender. He actually did serve as an officer in the pre-World War 2 British Army and during the War. He was a Commando and also, worked on films, during the war. So, even though the character was faking his military service... He really wasn't. BTW, I always like movies, David was in. He was very much a gentleman.

[@josefkurz2594]

34:00 .... By the way ... A true story: Hardy Krüger repeated many times in an interview that he was often quite lucky - including on Christmas Eve in 1943. At that time he was buried with his family after a bomb hit in the basement of the house. Krüger reported that he was "simply the smallest" and was therefore able to escape through an air shaft and free his family and the other residents of the house. As he went on to say, there is a possibility that he indirectly made the acquaintance of one of his future acting colleagues: James Stewart (1908-1997) might have thrown the bomb on the house. He later became friends with him in Hollywood and asked Stewart about it. And indeed Stewart flew exactly this attack. In retrospect, he even hopes that it was his bomb that hit his house: "Because it was a friend." Hardy Krüger starred with James Stewart in the film Flight of the Phoenix (1965).

[@varonadee6980]

Thanks for the interesting Hardy Krüger story; Flight of the Phoenix has always been one of my favorite films, and Hardy Krüger, a favorite for his irresistible intelligence, good looks, and English with a German accent.

At 2:48 that is Singapore from the air way back in 1974 or so. Marina Bay Sands not there yet as they had not yet reclaimed the land from the Sea. You can see the Singapore River, the War Memorial, Chinatown and the old Pearl Bank Apartments circular looking tower. The Temple he walks into at 6:04 is "Chan She Shu Yuen Clan Ancestral Hall" located at 172 Jalan Petaling in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. At 08:14 the school girls in the Blue Uniforms are from the Senior Methodist Girls School about one block behind the camera in Kuala Lumpur. The White building is the KTM Train Station in Kuala Lumpur. The tall building on the left is the old UMBC Building (United Malayan Banking Corporation) now hidden by other buildings. The fort visit at 34:56 is St. John's Fort in Melaka, Malaysia. The skyride @ 23:00 is the KL Eco Park. In the background is the AIA Building and that same year JRA Terrorists took 53 hostages from the US and Swede Embassies there. The Kulagong Police Headquarters seen at 43:34 is the actual Kuala Lumpur Traffic Police Station. Still there but since renovated. All Malaysian Police Stations are still painted Blue and White like that even today. But the Chinese shops on the right are all gone. Replaced by the LRT line. The building the Ambassador enters @ 54:52 says "Foreign Ministry" but is in fact the KTM Railway admin building. We even see Niven ride past both the KTM station and admin building when he is in the limo before arriving at the Ambassadors home. In several scenes with newsmen (The Martial arts at the Fort, The Ambassador at the Foreign Ministry, and the Helicopter shots) they have disguised one of the Panavision cinematic movie cameras as a News Camera. You can tell as they covered the large film mags with a white waterproof bag to hide the Panavision name. Most News teams by 1975 were already using videotape and had stopped using film even abroad years earlier. Tape is much easier and faster to process for news. Film has to be developed then printed. Same with the chopper shots as the Panavision cameraman is in there filming but disguised as a News Cameraman. The German Journalist even takes the camera from him when rescuing David Niven late in the movie. So they had to have at least two Panavision cameras working the scenes since in many scenes we see the "B" camera disguised. Look at the lenses on it too. News Cameras never had such expensive cinematic lenses. All in all a decent film too watch and fun to see Malaysia 46 years ago. In various scenes you can hear the local Malay language. Even on the radio when listening to an announcement at 1:28:54. It's entirely in the local Malay language. The announcement says that all of the 5 PRP terrorists in custody will be killed. That's why they bring a white flag to Niven as they realize their plan is backfiring on them.

[@TrueSonOfOdin]

I don't know about David Niven in North Africa, but he certainly was one of Montgomery's "phantoms" in Northwest Europe. These were Monty's personal frontline observers/reporters and intelligence officers. One time in the Ardennes in the Battle of the Bulge Dec44 he emerged from behind German lines and was suspiciously interrogated by some GIs. Finally, David lost his patience and told them co-star Betty Grable could vouch for him, whereupon our guys remembered him in the film. :-) Niven came from a military family, although there is question about who his biological father actually was, and attended Sandhurst - the British Army's West Point. After graduation, he was apparently bored and something of a discipline problem. He got into trouble on Malta - it may have been something about young naval officers' wives while they were at sea - and was about to be court-martialed, when he DESERTED and fled to America! He had odd jobs in New York City and then went out to Hollywood, where he was an immediate hit with its British actors/colony there, and got movie roles. His acting was always self-deprecating and actually quite good, but his best role was in Spitfire! with Leslie Howard, about R.J. Mitchell and the development of that splendid fighter plane. When war broke out, Niven immediately returned to Britain - risking the court martial - and returned to service. Churchill went over to him in a London restaurant and publicly commended him for responding to the colours. Niven was commando-trained. During the war, Niven met a sweet English girl, and they had 2 little boys. Clark Gable was a good friend and frequent guest, who loved to play with the kids. One time, Niven looked out the back window and saw Gable out there with them, crying. Carole Lombard was expecting their baby, when her plane crashed and she was killed while on a war bond tour. Gable swore vengeance on the Nazis and became a deadly aerial gunnery instructor and then gunner. Pilots and crews were happy to have him sneak aboard on missions, because he scored hits on German fighters at extreme range and kept them away. After the war, Niven returned to Hollywood, but then tragedy struck, and I'll leave it at that. He was actually a great man. I do wonder if the medals he mentions in the film were indeed his. His missions were dangerous.

Funny thing is that David Niven was in real life a British Commando during WW2. He was the only British actor in the US who returned to Britain and re-enlisted when war broke out. He "re-enlist" because he was a graduate of Sandhurst and served in the British peacetime army in the early 1930's, but got bored with it, deliberately committed insubordination, got sent to military jail, broke out and came to the US.

Damn c.t. s,hang em at Pudu.👍🇳🇿

[@willwen6600]

it used to stand out as a landmark along Jalan Ampang, I remember it from my childhood. Nowadays, if it's still there, is quite hidden by walls and trees, I hardly notice it while driving along the road.

The archetypal English Gentleman was our David Niven. Apparently shared a beach house with the great Errol Flynn in California and called it Cirrhosis by the sea.

[@edmonddantes3640]

Niven wrote two incredibly entertaining books on his life and experiences called The Moon Is A Balloon and Bring On The Empty Horses. His friendship with Flynn is covered in both. What a life he led.
