JackHenry Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Movie or TV Show name needed please. I have a recollection of a film from MANY years ago.It included a woman standing on a landmine on a beach. She'd been standing there that long that birds had landed on her and she was covered in bird poo. The people that found her gave 'crutches' to help take the weight off her legs while they dug the mine from beneath her. Anyone know the film name or actress?

Mirror Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Does it star Paul McCartney's ex Heather Mills? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pindrop Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) Sounds intriguing, could it be 'A Quiet Earth' not to be confused with 'The Quiet Earth' but 'A Quiet Earth' doesn't seem to be on youtube, unlike most things!

JackHenry Posted August 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 No. I just had a look at the plots for those, and it's not them. It's fairly old, but probably not 'black & white' old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackHenry Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Thanx Muchly. I didn't even think of a series. I was sure it was a movie I'd seen. How did you figure it out??? Excdllent work........ Edited August 19, 2015 by JackHenry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pindrop Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Yes excellent detective work, how DID you do it Mike? Even Google doesn't bring AI to bear on searches, does it? Yet? There are limitations, like with visual searches for example but I digress. Excellent background action by multiple seagulls, almost makes the makeup believable Edited August 19, 2015 by pindrop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Robertson Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 The search terms from the post brought me to an obscure message board [archiveofourown.org] with a loose transcript of the episode under a tittle "The Librarian and the Bobbie". I found what I thought was the series name - from there and it was google and youtube to the rescue. google - "The Librarian and the Bobbie" and the first result will take you to the site I found it on. I have no idea how to navigate that website. It was fun, glad I could help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
