Re: On this day.....

On this day in 1908 John Mills, English film and television actor, was born. He made more than 120 films in a career spanning seven decades. He often played traditionally British heroes and he was particularly associated with war dramas, such as The Colditz Story and Ice Cold in Alex . He won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor as the village idiot in Ryan's Daughter.

I added this because he was in my all time favourite film Ice cold in Alex

and just to keep this in the right time frame part of the film was used in an advert for Carlsberg in the 1980's
