This has been in my head for a couple of days and I can’t place it. It’s from a WW2 movie, probably from the 70’s.
German guy: “There - you have made me burn the tea.”
Good guy pulls gun: “That’s OK - let it burn.”
IIRC the good guy was impersonating a German before he pulls the gun. Possibly British actor. That’s all I can remember. Unfortunately I’ve seen way too many WW2 movies to narrow it down just on that.
Robert Shaw seems to have been a decent actor in the action genre. Specifically, I am thinking about his roles in “Force 10”, “Jaws”, “The Deep”, “The Sting”, and the original “Taking of Pelham 1-2-3”.
Is it my imagination, or does he not seem to get much credit as an action star?
Reading IMDB, it is stated the he was a bit of a drinker, and sometimes this made him hard to work with. (I saw this in the “trivia” section in “Jaws”.)
I believe he was a “Bit of a drinker”, in the same sense as the late Oliver Reed. I.e. He was a raging alcoholic. Died of a heart attack at 51, almost certainally helped along by his heavy drinking.
