Pic 31. A sad moment, onscreen, where the Captain character tends to Craig’s dying hero. PANEL ABOVE: MOST OF NEVILLE CRAIG’S FILMS HAD ENTERTAINING, BUT CLICHED SCENES LIKE THESE. NEVILLE: YOU’RE TOO…IMPORTANT, SIR. THE N-NAZIS CAN’T…WIN! CAPTAIN: THEY WON’T HASTINGS. YOUR NOBLE SACRIFICE WILL SEE TO THAT! Pic 32. The final scene of the film. A close-up on a gravestone. It reads: IN MEMORIAM. LT. JASON HASTINGS, V.C. 1911 – 1940. HE DIED A HERO. It would be good if we can pull back a bit, to see a less-than-impressed Charlie watching this in the cinema. PANEL ABOVE: CHARLIE WAS LESS THAN IMPRESSED WITH WHAT HE HAD JUST WATCHED ON THE CINEMA SCREEN. CHARLIE THX: HUH! IF CRAIG WANTS TO BE A HERO, HE SHOULD JOIN UP AND FIGHT THE NAZIS FOR REAL! 16
Pic 33. Charlie, back in RAF uniform, stands at ease in Wing Commander Campbell’s office. Campbell is seated behind a desk. PANEL ABOVE: A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER, CHARLIE WAS BACK ON DUTY, BUT NOT FLYING YET, MUCH TO HIS CONSTERNATION. WING COMMANDER CAMPBELL CALLED CHARLIE INTO HIS OFFICE. THE C.O. HAD AN UNUSUAL QUESTION. CAMPBELL: AH, BOYD. HAVE YOU HEARD OF NEVILLE CRAIG? CHARLIE: THE ACTOR? YES, SIR. I SAW ONE OF HIS FILMS NOT SO LONG AGO. Pic 34. Charlie now looks a little taken aback by what his C.O. has just told him. PANEL ABOVE: CAMPBELL EXPLAINED THAT NEVILLE CRAIG WISHED TO VISIT THEIR AIRBASE, AS RESEARCH FOR HIS NEXT SCREEN ROLE, WHERE HE WOULD PLAY AN R.A.F. PILOT. CAMPBELL: I’D LIKE YOU TO BE CRAIG’S CHIEF LIAISON OFFICER, AN “ESCORT”, IF YOU WILL. CHARLIE: WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, SIR, I THINK I SHOULD BE IN THE AIR – NOT BABYSITTING SOME MOVIE STAR! 17
