A sad post to record the passing on Friday of Sylvia Syms, the luminous actress best known for her role as nurse Diana Murdoch in "Ice Cold in Alex" (1958):
Sylvia Syms (1934 - 2023)
"Ice Cold in Alex" is one of a very select group of movies - including such greats as "Colditz", "Went the Day Well", "The Dam Busters", "Mrs Miniver", "Brief Encounter", "633 Squadron" etc. - that must not only count as most VBCW wargamers' favourites, but also - with a cast including John Mills and Harry Andrews - as the quintessence of Very Britishness.
