  1. I remember the filming in Almuñécar well as I had been hired as the local interpreter for the Spanish extras. Sad to hear that John had died. What happened to the rest of the filming crew and both main actors?

  2. Hi Martin

    I’ve changed your ‘here’ to ‘hear’! I saw the cameraman, John Williams just last week, and he’s very well. Gail Herbert is also in touch, and Dave Evans is still in the business. I’m not sure about Richard Reynolds, the soundman though.

    Best wishes
