And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Back in the day when there were actual, real movie stars
Nevada Smith was on last night. While it was on, I perused the IMDb images, many of which were casual pictures of him relaxing between takes. In many of the pictures he had a cigarette in his hand.
He was ill during the filming of Tom Horn and had already quit cigarettes but continued to smoke cigars.
Martin Landau's 'death scream' in Nevada Smith is one off my favorite movie scenes of all time, and in my opinion Brian Keith's part in the movie was fantastic.
I could get close but haven't watched it in years. I'll try it if you can do the Dirty Dozen. I will give you some hints. Kojack, Inspector Callahan, Deathwish,Lee...guess the rest
Steve McQueen was 5'6. Yul Brynner was 5'4. Yul Brynner built little mounds on his marks to make him taller than McQueen. McQueen flattened them.
ReplyDeleteMcQueen 5'-9"

I guess Brynner's chair was taller too, right?
Yul was 5'8"
ReplyDeleteThis was back in the Good Old Days before idiots like Rober De Nero opened their pie holes and tried mightily to be political commentators.
