Isn't he wearing his Sam Brown belt incorrectly. The cross chest belt isn't doing that and is on the same side as its attachment. Is this a Highland way of wearing this belt ? Why ?

He's wears what seems to be leather suspender/harness type of rig, note the strap and buckle on the other side, the sun's glare hides a bit the strap going over the shoulder. Something similar seen on Caine's Bromhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willysmb44 Posted December 2, 2015 Share #516 Posted December 2, 2015 I love the look on Peck's face, almost as if he's thinking, "Hey, Captain, let's go to the bar and ditch these women..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted January 2, 2016 Share #517 Posted January 2, 2016 It's now available on DVD finally, and inexpensive. No joke, when I looked for this around 4 years ago it was unbelievably expensive, something like starting at $100, and that was only the VHS I recall . When it first was released in 2013 on DVD it had some glitches, missing scenes etc. So it appears if your interested you must get this one, it's a 2014 remastered re release of what is supposed to be the complete series. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MARZSW6/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1944687462&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B009OE2O70&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1YY14GT4GWKRE82G08PE Got it a few weeks ago, watching it now, great series, it bit hard to watch though as it has no scene selection, in others words, if your like me and watch stuff over a period of several nights, you can't just select the scene you left off at, you got to start at the beginning and fast forward, viewing everything and pausing and playing at the point you left off at. Apart from that, it worth the buy, as it's now inexpensive. Make sure though you buy the one I linked, any others apparently are butchered versions IE Cuts and Deleted scenes.

patches Posted January 30, 2016 Share #525 Posted January 30, 2016 Having some fun tonight with Washington DC. From the movie The Pink Panther Strikes Again. Dick Crockett as President Gerald Ford. Byron Kane as Henry Kissinger. Now in the credits they are not listed as such but clearly this who they are in this 1976 movie, Crockett falling and tripping, and Kane with a German accent . When the hell can we start deleting images again for Christ sake!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
