Det Jim McLeod

Jonathan Winters was in The Loved One with Rod Steiger

8. He played Dr Kildare in a series of films in the 1930s and 1940s.

Sunbeam Serenade sung by Patsy O'Connor in the Abbott and Costello film "It Ain't Hay" Next-your favorite song from "Oliver!" (1968)

The Omen Next-transients

Donald MacBride was in Room Service with Frank Albertson

Spencer Tracy was in Broken Lance with Richard Widmark

A Song To Remember Next-The Big Combo (Cornel Wilde double feature)

The House Of The Seven Gables Next-Muriel Spark

One of my top ten horror films and favorite Vincent Price movie. I saw parts of it last night and the print looked pristine from what I saw. The color was beautiful and the images clear as a bell.

Somebody's been hitting the bottle again. Sticking to movies, what do you think of actresses in the classic years like wisecracking Glenda Farrell or Eve Arden?

Wait Until Dark Next- a merry go round

John Forsythe was in In Cold Blood with Robert Blake

Two working class New York loudmouths

Champagne For Caesar Next-Burt Lancaster

A View To A Kill Vamp (1986) Grace Jones double bill

Purple Noon Next-Elizabeth Kata

Never saw it

I would like to see "The Rack" again, it's been many years but it was memorable. One of Paul Newman's earliest and most underrated films. Lee Marvin has a great role as a soldier who had been horrifically tortured by the enemy.

John, David, Keith or Robert?

The Goose And The Gander Next-Matt Dillon

The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea Next-Term Of Trial (2 with Sarah Miles)

Bette Davis was in Jezebel with Henry Fonda

Thanks, it's been awhile since I saw that one, but it has very memorable ending.

He was a granite faced tough guy who could give great performances when given the chance. He rarely gave interviews and there has some things written about him being cold and distant at times. Billy Crystal said he was angry and foul mouthed when he was offered the Jack Palance role in "City Slickers" and flatly turned it down. I saw a Dick Cavett interview on youtube he did in 1972 and he seems calm and personable. Although he does mention getting angry with the director of "Someone Behind The Door" in which Bronson grabbed and throttled the man. Richard Attenborough was also on that Cavett show and the two "Great Escape" co stars greet each warmly, which was nice to see. Anyway here are my 5 favorites, in chronological order, what are yours? 1. The Magnificent Seven (1960)He stands out in a great cast as an Irish/Mexican gunman protecting a village from bandits. He also becomes a hero to the children there, he was very touching in his scenes with them. 2. The Great Escape (1963) He plays a Polish POW in a Nazi camp, he is called The Tunnel King since he is adept at digging tunnels for the escape, unfortunately he also suffers from claustrophobia. One of the few times he used an accent and he is pretty good at that as well. 3. The Dirty Dozen (1967) Once again he is part of a macho group of tough guys and once again he does stand out. This film about US soldiers convicted of crimes on suicide mission against the Nazi is much different than the two films above. Those had a mostly likable group of heroic types. Here we get killers, rapists and thieves. The reason Bronson stands out is because he is one of the few sympathetic members, as he killed in self defense, much different from scheming wiseguy John Cassavettes and sadistic woman hater Telly Savalas. 4. Once Upon A Time In The West (1968) He is a mysterious stranger who comes into town looking for cold hearted hired killer Henry Fonda. Bronson has a great ghostly presence in this one, his first and last appearance in the film are haunting. 5. Death Wish (1974) He plays a liberal New York architect who becomes a gun toting vigilante when his family becomes a victim of violence. This is a tough gritty revenge film which later has some moments of dark humor. Bronson is excellent as he first is disgusted by his use of violence but later comes to like it. Most of his films after this one were junk, including all the sequels to this one, but I feel these five assure him a place as a Hollywood legend.

According to the book Robert Wise And His Films by Sergio Leemann, it was a lunch honoring Bunuel at George Cukor's house.
