Don't Fence Me In (1970)

Arnold Ridley: Pte. Charles Godfrey

Quotes 

• Mainwaring : [the platoon is trying to communicate with an Italian P.O.W]  Does anyone speak Italian?

  Godfrey : I speak a little, sir.

  Godfrey : [to the Italian POW]  Vostro piccolo mano e ghiacciato. Permesso e caldo ancora a vita.

  [the P.O.W. looks shocked] 

  Mainwaring : What did you say to him, Godfrey?

  Godfrey : Your tiny hands are frozen.

  Mainwaring : What on earth did you say that for?

  Godfrey : It's the only Italian I know, sir - you see, I'm a very keen opera fan.
