Notorious Gentleman (1945)

Charles Victor: Old Sweat

Quotes 

• Vivian as a Boy : I'm going to Eton later on.

  Coldstream Guardsman : Eton? Oh I say!

  Old Sweat : Eton's no joking matter old cock. Half the war cabinet came from there.

  Vivian as a Boy : Well they won the war for us, didn't they.

  Old Sweat : No. I'll tell you who's done that for you, if you like. Me. And 'im. The common fighting man. The most long-suffering bloomin' animal in 'uman creation. Forgotten in peacetime. A 'uman target in wartime. And bewitched and bewildered all the time.
