Not a bad film if its the one I was thinking of. It Follows the Guards Armour in Normandy with an American in the ranks, but he's a tankie not a superhero.
Is this film worht buying its sounds pretty good on the read up I found the following quote on IMDb: They Were Not Divided (1950) This is an early work of Terence Young, the director, but a well-made, engrossing and ultimately very moving British war drama of World War II. Interestingly a very young Desmond Llewelyn has a cameo role as a Welsh tank commander, and when it came time for Young to find a new Q for the second James Bond movie, the original no longer being available, he remembered Llewelyn and cast him in what is now the longest running continuous role in the James Bond saga.
Yep Ive seen this a while back,a good little movie,even shows the British involvement in the Battle of the Bulge.
It turns up on Channel 4 on wet Wednesday afternoons in February every so often. It's typical of its time and interesting to compare with later films which exaggerate British/American rivalry and distrust. It also marks one of the film appearances of RSM Brittan, the 'man with the loudest voice in the British Army', who was a bit of a celebrity at one time. He featured on a record of military music which my dear old Dad owned (and which I heard again years later playing at the Sanctuary Wood Museum in Ypres!). I can still hear him booming 'Grenadier Guards... By the centre...quick march!'
Watched the film on DVD tonight & it was well worth watching if your interested in British armour in WW2
