Typecasting? (No, just a coincidence.)


In 1955, Tim Considine appeared in "Private War Of Major Benson" as a young cadet who writes a letter to his mother, complaining that Major Benson is a big bully who picks on him.

Fifteen years later, Considine appeared in "Patton" as a soldier who....writes a letter to his mother, complaining that General Patton is a big bully who picks on him.



Heck is where people go who don't believe in Gosh.

What scene was that?

What scene was that?

Seriously?


I don't seize the day. I just sort of poke at it with a stick.

Please. Stop evading. Tell us about that scene where he writes his mother. Good luck - it doesn't exist.

Thank you for my chuckle of the day. You're a hoot. 

LOL! That's the best response you can come up with, when confronted on your inaccuracy? Sad.

In reality, the slapped soldier wrote a letter to Patton's mother, who then told Patton that if he didn't behave himself, she'd personally fly over to Europe and take away all his tanks.
