Right
93 year old (according to RudeBoy) back on here to correct misconceptions with a bit of historical accuracy
Has anybody on this thread actually read “Boys’ Own”?
Regarding “boys own” movies (whatever that means…):
That last post just about sums it up!
Cos I have
And although I like tits (a lot) there were no tits in Boys Own. Almost every film suggested fails the basic test:
A Boy’s Own film deals in some way with the British Empire
So: Zulu; Breaker Morant; the Four Feathers: the Thirty-Nine Steps; The Man Who Would be King; Beau Geste (French Empire here, of course)
Most of the posters on here just don’t get it because they haven’t read Boy’s Own.
However, Baden-Powell’s “Scouting for Boys” (oooh err Matron) is in print and will give the ignorant some sort of starting point for defining a true “Boy’s Own” film
