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.
He was crazy good in Kurosawa's 'Throne of Blood'. It's the Japanese version of Macbeth. He sure gets hit by a lot of arrows in the end. Steve_in_Ottawa
I've enjoyed pretty much every film I've seen him in. Excellent actor. For anyone who hasn't seen it, I would highly recommend "Hell in the Pacific" with Lee Marvin. Fantastic movie!! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063056/
I remember him is a bunch of WW-2 theme movies.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Benicio Del Torro's dad.
ReplyDeleteTCM's "Noir Alley" had him in a movie several weeks ago. Subtitles, of course.
ReplyDeleteLooking like that he could have been a member of the Rat Pack.
ReplyDeleteThe Rat Pack could have used a Samurai

Last of the samurai. Did he make a bad movie?
