Toevallig (maar wat is toeval) zat ik vanmiddag in een stukje eigen (nog ongepubliceerde) tekst te lezen waar ik tegen kwam dat die Watt en Half-watt films ook in de Hongerwinter in de niet meer <br />verwarmde Amserdamse bioscopen nog gedraaid werden. Leuk toch?"<br /><br />My translation:<br />"Was back again watching on your postcards site and ended up at the Danish boys (according to Bram Reijnhoudt they were in their own time more popular than Laurel & Hardy). By chance (but what's chance?) I read this afternoon in an old (yet unpublished) text of my own and found that during the last famine winter of WW II, the Watt & Half Watt (or Ole & Aksel as they were known in the USA) films were still running in the not heated Amsterdam cinemas. Nice, right?"<br /><br />So, they helped hungry Dutch people during the winter by keeping them laughing. Nice? They were heroes! We demand a Watt & Half Watt series on Dutch TV :) Thanks, Egbert for your information.Paul van Yperenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00839067381947344501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082052777383347559.post-52375256593295565362010-01-21T00:12:31.326+01:002010-01-21T00:12:31.326+01:00It's a pity, that their films are never on TV ...It's a pity, that their films are never on TV here.
