No, it's really amazing how a good screen performance can 'colour' our perception of history.

Another 'voice' one is Major-General R E 'Roy' Urquhart ( of Arnhem fame ), played most memorably in 'ABTF' by Sean Connery. His gruff, Scots burr fits the burly General's image very well. When I read Urquhart's memoir, I hear Connery's voice. A couple of years ago, I heard a taped interview with Urquhart, who sounds tewwibly, tewwibly 'upper crust' with a pronounced lisp.

'Hey !' I thought, 'This doesn't sound a bit like Sean Connery !'
