Dear All - I've been putting together a really exciting evening on 10th June for fans of the film ZULU. The film has been digitally remastered and is to be seen in its original wide-screen format (a rare opportunity, this). There are many extras to make it a memorable evening, including a Zulu choir, the Welsh Guards choir, some never-before-seen original set footage, and more. It is all in aid of 3 fantastic charities (Walking with the Wounded and two charities which help Southern African children into education, The David Rattray Trust and Sentebale). I'm very proud of this film as my dear old dad, Cy Endfield, directed it, and co-produced it with Stanley Baker. I do hope some of you will be interested in coming along to support us - I'm not allowed to put a link up here, but if you google Zulu 50th the page for info and selling tickets comes right up at the top.

Thanks - it's not that I don't know the link, but rather that the site won't let me post any link in the first 7 days of membership! A short cut is: zulu50 dot com - which will get you to the same page (obviously replacing the space and the word 'dot' as appropriate) - that's another way round not being able to post a link!

Well John you wouldn't expect anyone else to do it would you????? - one of the joys of "Zulu" related jobs is my ability to work in as much sub Zulu text as possible - the highlight of this one followed the deployment of the lads around the cinema foyer and entrance - which was done by an artistic director. When security took over it was obvious that some of the lads were in the wrong places so I told my NCO that we had best move them:
ME: Corporal, the men on the centre stalls, they aren't doing anything, bring them about and use them to reinforce the north balconies.
CORPORAL: But suppose they start to come through the central stalls?
ME: Quite ..... but we need to outgun them somewhere.
We were privileged and honoured to take part in this unique event celebrating "that film" supporting the charities and showing yet again how much a remarkable 50 year old film has engrained itself into the British national conciousness - proud to have been able to help Suzannah on this one - atb Tim

Well done Tim smart turnout indeed. Interestingly I was mooching around the open air market in Cape Town on the weekend and I spotted black market copies of the movie on a number of stalls. Shows how popular it is if the Criminals feel they can make money out of it. The police incidentally where informed by the markets management and moved in to confiscate and arrest.
Cheers

Wow, that really bring back memories of going to the flicks in the early sixties..i have not seen one of those preview mags till today..they had stacks of them in the foyer, being a kid i never would dream of paying for one..i got sixpence on a Saturday and a penny on Sunday, point being there was always a few left in the auditorium by the adults fleeing in haste to beat the playing of the national anthem, us artful dodgers knew this well.

The best part for me was lord Ashcroft inspecting my Martinis at the aftershow, he said "I'm Lord Ashcroft"...I said " I know and I'm martini Neil" touche!, a very nice bloke indeed.

Re Mike Snook..from the other place!.
No, not there at the screening; I fear we provincials cannot readily afford to mix it with the metropolitan elite, however worthy the charitable cause. (Especially anybody who resigned his commission in protest at an infamous act like the unwarranted disbandment of a Welsh battalion and now has to scratch a living as a Victorian military historian!).
Me!.. "not many people know that". maximum respect..Mr Snook! not his biggest fan in the past..but greatly admire anyone who takes a stand, and has the guts to stick to it!.
