Ever watch the same movie a BUNCH of times, only to watch it again, and catch something that puts you on the floor with laughter? Well, it CAN take me some 45 years to get a punchline, but I DO eventually get there.
I couldn't help but post this on my Facebook Page, and here:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK...this is PROBABLY gonna make even my best friends roll their eyes, or maybe plan an "Intervention" of some sort, but I can't help it.

I've been cleaning my junk room with an eye toward making it an ACTUAL bedroom at some point, and taking breaks to watch another of my favorite movies: Universal's "Battle of Britain"...a pretty accurate account of England's 1940 battle against the NAZI's before the U.S. entered the war.

Britain desperately needed pilots and many volunteers came from other nations to help them, including the U.S., Canada, and others. Poland had fallen to the NAZI's, and many of their pilots escaped to continue their fight against the Germans by flying the Brit's Spitfires and Hurricanes.

Communication was a major problem with these guys, and in the movie, this young man gets shot down over England, but parachutes to 'safety' among a bunch of British farmers gathering hay.

Because of his thick accent, the farmers take him for a German pilot, trying to smooth-talk them, and take him prisoner despite his best efforts to convince them that he's on their side.

That situation is funny enough but, in spite of watching this movie dozens of times, I NEVER caught this follow-up in one of the final scenes where the camera pans slowly across the pilots waiting to be scrambled---check out the last frame---I about fell out of my chair laughing...
