Puppet on a Chain

For Bob Macarthy & friends.

I can see Kitten in that white hat and outfit the badie wears.

Nearly 125 meg, so it'll take a while to buffer.

Not sure, but the chase scene was set in the canals in Amsterdam and I think one of the boats was a Shakespear Sigma.

The Shakespeare I thought was a Clubman or mini clubman, the other I think is either a Broom or Owens, I helped with the soundtrak of the engines when I worked at Eastwoods, only to find they never used it as it was deemed too loud.

I reckon Mini Clubman (12'6") and a Broom (mebbe 14')

The soundtrack, which sounds like a circular saw to me, is crap, they should have used yours. Did you do that with Eric, or was it before his time?

Recall an article on it at the time in MBY- Bulman on Power section, used up a lot of boats in the making between 7-14 I think. Pre dates the old live & let die one but they had a bigger budget being a "Bond"

Still what a great clip to post

I think the Clubman was in Puppet on a Chain and the Sigma was in Amsterdamned.

Eric was around at the time but he was still at school, the engines in the film are 69 vintage so that puts Eric at 12 to 13.

Haven't had any hurry canes, just day after day of 80+ F. First 4 days in Boston, then we went to Provincetown, CapeCod, which has to be the gayest town in the USA, makes Key West appear straight. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provinc..._Massachusetts

Spent a couple of days chilling on the beach, and chowing down on lobster. Plenty of beers, the odd cocktail and a brilliant classic car parade.

Now in Woodstock staying at a friends house, then off to New York for a couple of nights.
