ОТНОСТНО ТОЗИ ЕПИЗОД
Returning to the fertile fields of WWII cinema, we explore one of the more unique storylines of this era. The most common form of artistic translation into film today is probably from the good old fashioned book. But wind the clock back nearly a century and many stories for the silver screen were lifted directly from the stage and it's a path less commonly trod in the 21st century. The story of Lieutenant James Stagg's challenge to present key information to the Allied leadership in the build-up to D-Day regarding weather conditions in the English Channel and beyond, is the perfect scenario for a contained, kitchen sink drama, where the stakes of the situation extend far beyond the fourth wall, but over a decade later, how has that story fared in its transition to the big screen? Was James Stagg's relationship with Dwight D. Eisenhower as depicted? Was the plan really aborted and restarted so late on? And when is someone going to give Kerry Condon the decent role she deserves?! Join us to find out on That's Not How It Went Down!
