Oh! What a Lovely War (1969)
Director: Richard Attenborough
Screenplay: Len Deighton (based on Joan Littlewood stage production of ‘The Long Trail’ by Charles Chilton)
Role: Stephen
Joining an impressive list of British stars, Dirk had a cameo role (Stephen) in Richard Attenborough’s treatment of the Joan Littlewood play, shot almost entirely on Brighton’s West Pier. Taking part was consistent with the anti-war sentiments Dirk expressed often in his books, drawings, interviews and, most prominently, King and Country.
