Old Bill Comes to Life on British Zone Film Set
Capt. Bruce Bairnsfather, famed for wartime Old Bill cartoons, returns to the ground of his first Old Bill for a new film Old Bill and Son. He arrived with a cameraman and technicians to shoot background scenes in 1989 BEV E for a company he directs in England. He found a few real vintage Old Bills among veterans and says the sons appearing in the film are well set up and quiet. He cites the war's uncanny atmosphere as the most striking contrast to the prior conflict.
