The Albion in film?

[Hercules Rockerfeller]

There are plenty of seagulls in one of the Hitchcock films, can't remember which one

Vertigo?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

We used to feature regularly in The Great Escape.

 

[Danny-Boy]

Palace got a mention in "My Bautiful Launderette"...

The gay English bloke gets asked by one of his straight friends why he's supporting Millwall now and not Pal;ace like the rest of his old schoolmates. Guess that's not a quote the New Denners are proud to mention.

 

[Danny-Boy]

Vertigo?

"The Birds". But they don't do much damage, it's the starlings I think and the Crows. No club's adopted them funnily enough, apart from Adelaide in aussie Rules.

The 1962 detective film, Jigsaw, had Jack Warner (the veteran actor; not the allegedly corrupt football administrator) playing a long-suffering Albion fan. At one stage the inspector moans about losing to Southampton. The film was set in Brighton.

Dammit, of course it was The Birds. Me so silly!

Vertigo?

Rear Window?

 

[Gully]

Not quite the Albion, but Sussex-by-the-sea can be heard in the background of the film Alice in Wonderland.

Slades give Us a goal.
Note in the video Brighton didn't actually "give them a goal"
Some things never change

We're in the trailer for this - 1:28

Not a big screen but I remember an episode of Judge John Deed when he went down to Brighton for the weekend with his girlfriend and son and spoke about going to see the game on Saturday afternoon - this was when we were at Withdean when POTG was a distant dream so there was much sniggering from me.

Yes he did actually go to the game at Withdean, clear footage of play, but not sure what game though.

But he wouldn't have got tickets on the day though - bet not even a judge can swing that

Jigsaw was probably the best feature film ever set in brighton. Wish I could get a copy

 

[RowleyBirkinQ.C(deceased)]

Not the Albion but which big war film was it that starred Donald Sutherland as a Nazi officer. I distinctly remember senior ranking officers and s s standing around talking about the invasion of Britain and Donald Sutherlands character replies " I hear Brighton is lovely this time of year"

'The Eagle Has Landed' perchance?
