It's the patter; bullshit claims of secrecy, avoidance of details, etc.
From personal experience, Lee sounds pretty normal to me.
My ex-FiL (WO1 in the REME) would talk about his military career pretty openly, but never, ever about his time in Oman in the early-70's. We only found out after his death he was involved with running transport for the Hereford folks.
PS: Niven's record is pretty well documented and he opened up about his war experiences just before he died. It was pretty horrific and the experiences haunted him all his life and that was the main reason he never talked about them.
and Michael Caine. When I read in detail his account I understood why he seldom talked about it but why his acting in Harry Brown felt so genuine.
Bleak film, that.
Great though

True, but living on an estate in a not so nice area, knowing older men with a similar level of communication, it felt real to me, I forgot he was acting.

Agreed. One I've watched a few times and will again sometime.

Watching the Glickenhaus/Walken action flick, McBain. Good 80s style action so far, great opening scene in Vietnam.

That's exactly who I was thinking about, the Arnie inspired Simpsons version

Any list without Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is meritless

Fun facts/coincidences re Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Two actors appeared in both CCBB and Goldfinger - Gert Frobe and Desmond Llewelyn. Goldfinger was written of course by Ian Fleming, as was CCBB.

Not forgetting of course…
