...And the Band Played On (1980 TV Movie)

Trevor Howard: Saltie

Quotes 

• [at the parish council meeting, the treasurer has announced that tickets worth £114 were sold for the brass band concert] 

  Mr. Fennel : But that was for sale of tickets, not for the people who actually turned up. There were sixteen in all, and nine of those accounted for the six pound profit at the bar.

  Dan 'Saltie' Wicklow : Damn poor turnout.

  Council Chairman : Yes but it was still a profit. After all, if there hadn't been a concert, people couldn't have bought tickets not to come.
