This got me interested
I watched this for the first time yesterday
PS Anyone remember Palm Pilots? I believe those came out around the same time as the Blackberry devices, but not sure.
Peter Cushing plays Winston in that version.PS apparently there is a 1954 TV version made for the BBC. It was so popular they made it into a movie.
Didn't know Mann attempted at making Heat earlier in his career. 'Heat' is such a a brilliantly made film. The shots are just amazing. Just amazing action sequences, especially at the end with the shootouts. The way it's shot is just amazing.
I see why the cinematography seemed so similar.
They are the unsung heroes of hip hop, disco and a host of other genres, whose message of peace, love and funk sailed beyond Britain's shores and helped shape music for five decades. Long after they stopped playing, the music played on, so they returned to play some more.In the racially turbulent UK of the early 70s, a group of black musicians came together in South London with a common love of rhythms and a message of peace. Cymande – with the dove as their symbol – combined jazz, funk, soul and Caribbean grooves to form a unique sound. Despite success in the USA they faced indifference in their native Britain, becoming disillusioned and disbanding. But the music lived on, as new generations of artists imbibed and reworked their pioneering sounds in fresh ways. From Soul II Soul to De La Soul, MC Solaar to The Fugees, the Dove had spread Cymande's message far and wide, prompting their return after forty years. This is their story.
