Correct (or RIKTIG! DIN JÆVLIG HESTEKUK! as a viking might say).

Didn't Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis play brothers in this?

Yes, though Kirk doesn't know it's his brother...

Trapeze. Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis Gina Lollabrigia and lots of talk about doing a "triple"

The best way of telling Kirk Douglas from. Burt Lancaster.

I often pass through Longnor, just south of Buxton on my rides. In Longnor church there is a display about one of the Telemark heroes who was born and brought up there. There are pictures of him in the school choir aged about eight, school photos etc and a picture of where he lived (which can be seen in the village and hasn't changed a lot). Aged 21 when shot by the Nazis. Very moving tribute.

I like Kirk Douglas, his son's a different matter.

I'm planning on riding through Longnor on Sunday so I'll take a look thanks.

Happy Birthday Kirk. I gather he's not in the best of health but he's lived his life for sure.

Typical Hollywood. We send children to fight in wars but have them played by men in their late 40s (or mid 30s) in movies.

Ref - Slaughterhouse 5 or A Children's Crusade

I think you've fallen into the Kirk/Burt trap there.

Is it Peppa Pig's Big Day Out?

 

[Stephenite]

Yes, though Kirk doesn't know it's his brother...

Nobody else would know it either - looking at them.

I can recommend the Cobbles Cafe as well, although go easy on the oat cakes if you're planning the Crowdecote bends afterwards.
