mozza Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 it's a good watch , would have been better if there was more emphasis on his colossal achievements with the Rams tho . i'll dig it out and watch again sometime.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r4derby Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I love it just for the end when the narrator refers to Forest as a small team from down the road!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petersimple Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I thought the film was very good. Colm Meaney was perfect as Don Revie. He looked and sounded just like him. That's what you get when you hire top actors. I also thought Michael Sheen got Brian Clough just right. He is another great actor. You could see that a lot of effort had gone in to finding lookalikes for some of the players. That bit set in Majorca - with the sunshine and the atmospheric music - really captured the feeling of escape and relaxation you felt when you got away from England in the 1970s.

Perky1106 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 A decent flick but two really annoying things. None of the filming is done in Derby. Halfway through the film were PT shows BC the newspaper it is called the "Derby Chronicle" even despite it being quoted rightly as the "Derby Telegraph" in the book. Just demonstrates laziness and lack of research by the producers really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
