One of the best movie lines of all time is in A Bridge Too Far. Connery is leaning against a vehicle looking at maps as his aide brings him a cup of tea. The mission is compleetely fubared - even the pre-drop air raids were off target, blowing up an insane asylum and letting all the crazies out in the woods around the paratroopers. Connery takes the offered tea...
Connery: Sargeant, the jeeps are a mess, the radios arrived with the wrong crystals, and I've got lunatics laughing at me from the woods. Do you really think all that can be solved by a cup of tea?
Sargeant: It couldn't hurt, Sir.
If you've never seen A Bridge Too Far, you REALLY should. It is a true and tragic story of one of the Allies real blunders during WWII.
