      Phrases Never Heard in the Cinema, #45367:

      I always thought there was room for a rather more literarily-inclined secret agent:

      "The name's Bond; Basildon Bond"

      (I'm sure that's an old one off the radio... )

      In my mind's eye, he'd look like the moustach'd geezers in the old Simpson of Piccadilly adverts...

      "...the isle is full of noises,
      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

        Him again! Only seems like yesterday we had him in a question. Oh... it was (or a couple of days back, anyway!)

                      So far I haven't a clue. EYS and Wolverine are pretty awful films. Not sure about the other.

                      But are these films at all? Hmmm.
                      Pacta sunt servanda !!!

                        The Wolverine
                        K626? aka Mozart's Requiem?

                        I remember it featured in Eyes Wide Shut (Flay - I am one of the only people I know - the other being a Belgian friend with whom I saw it initially - who really likes that film. I've seen it 3 times, I think. First time was in the cinema, I was dreading it as I had a really painful knee, and the film's over 2½ hours long... but it flew by as I was competely engrossed and I never noticed my knee)

                        I find it also featured in the soundtrack of The Wolverine.

                        And A Hooded Man features in the legend of its composition (certainly in the film Amadeus, to keep things cinematic)

                            I'd got as far as Korngold for The Adventures of Robin Hood, but then quickly came to a grinding halt!

                                A rather splendid puzzle, too, if I may say so; I didn't even get as far as Robin Hood! Bravo anton - and, indeed, Cali: inspired, both.
