Trudge On To The Screen

By PETER LOVEGROVE The Two Types-those legendary characters with unruly moustaches, suede boots, gaily-coloured silk scarves, corduroy trousers, sheepskin coats and shaggy, knee-length pullovers, whom a cartoonist of genius picked out of Eighth Army as it marched from Alamein to Tunis, and from Sicily to Venice-are back in London Town with their sartorial eccentricities, well-worn enamel mug and surprised expressions.

"I say, old man, jolly good show," says the Dark Type with the battered peak cap to his inseparable companion, the pop-eyed Fair Type in a black beret. He is speaking from a hoarding outside a West-End cinema, and he is referring to "Private Angelo”, the delightful new British film Peter Ustinov has made from Eric Linklater's novel of the

same name.
