A Bridge Too Far

 

Something for the weekend:  the theme from A Bridge Too Far (1977).

 

Bonus:

 

The officer carrying the umbrella was based upon Major Allison Digby Tatham-Warter, who brought an umbrella into battle because he could never recall the daily passwords and assumed that no one would think that anyone other “than a bloody fool of an Englishman” would carry an umbrella in a combat zone.  Completely without fear, he would make humorous quips while in combat.  In civilian life he was a big game hunter and organized safaris.  He married and had three daughters and lived until 1993, dying at age 75.
