Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The character of George Custer is addressed as "General" Custer, and he wears a cluster of stars on his collar. Although, during civil war service, Custer received a "brevet", or temporary promotion to brigadier general. At the War's end he was returned to his permanent rank of Lt. Colonel. While the public and media might refer to him as "General" Custer, he never wore a cluster of stars on his uniform, nor introduced himself as "General" Custer. more

After years of searching I have finally found it! I remember this film from my childhood and I recall it giving me a spiritual lift, which for somebody who is now not very spiritual I could kind of do with rekindling. I could only remember certain thinks about the film, such as a old man passing on a golden gun and a white suit whilst training a young apprentice to shoot at plates when blind folded. I would love to see this film again, and would appreciate someone telling me where I can buy it from. Now and again I have thought about this film with a golden gun and asked friends and work colleagues whether they had seen it. Each time I was met with a blank face, or with the reply 'you mean the James Bond film'. At least now I know I did not imagine it. I suppose it's quite a sad admission but this film really made me feel happy!
