Last Night I watched the excellent 1958 film ' Dunkirk' with John Mills and Richard Attenborough. For a film made all those years ago it really is very good indeed, some great action scenes and very good beach scenes filmed at Camber Sands on the UK coast.
Anyway, one of the most memorable scenes is the one in which French refugee's struggle along a country road with all they possess. Looking at these people it is easy to see that K&C's refugees could be straight out of this film, they really are very similar to those depicted. I remember Andy listed this film as one of his favourites and I can see where the inspiration for these came from. Put these together with those now retired British figures trudging back to Dunkirk,perhaps the ambulance and Bren gun carrier, mix them all up a bit and you have a very evocative scene.
Any of you guys got these figures and have them in a dio?.
