There are two well known versions of this film which sort of bookended the Second World War, albeit they were 15 years apart. The earlier version, nominated for 2 Oscars, featured a well known actor from a family who manufactured tractors.

The Prisoner of Zenda?

You’ve got it PR. Over to you…

Thanks Amac. Next: Traveller for a well known food company?

Sylvester Stallone turned down lead role.

Romancing the stone

No sorry Feey.

Comming home

No Feey. This is 1990s film described as an action thriller

Steven Seagal was offered a role but chose a different film that was being filmed around the same time.

Demolition Man

Not that Feey. Liz Hurley was in it as one of her early film roles
