Trivia
LMF - Low Moral Fibre was the classification of those RAF airmen who refused to fly on operations in WWII. The men were swiftly demoted, transfered to another base or even sent to work down the coalmines. It is unlikely that the character Pink would have been classified as LMF at the Royal Military College Sandhurst as it trains officers for the British Army not the RAF.

Quotes
Sir Charles Ferguson: Mummy left me the most extraordinary amount of phenobarbital.

Great acting, fascinating script..

The undoubted highlight of this movie is Peter O'Toole's performance. In turn wildly comical and terribly terribly tragic. Does anybody do it better than O'Toole? I don't think so. What a great face that man has!

The story is an odd one and quite disturbing and emotionally intense in parts (especially toward the end) but it is also oddly touching and does succeed on many levels. However, I felt the film basically revolved around Peter O'Toole's luminous performance and I'm sure I wouldn't have enjoyed it even half as much if he hadn't been in it.
