McGinley, is an always- compelling actor I'll watch in anything (including the <i>Charlie's Angels</i> pilot).ANTHONY SIDEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05787405026283860499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5550868480663112358.post-63262900318803713542010-12-03T14:35:44.210-05:002010-12-03T14:35:44.210-05:00I love those bleak 70s movies, too - Scarecrow com...I love those bleak 70s movies, too - <i>Scarecrow</i> comes to mind - and after Connery became a national treasure in the UK in the late 1980s I went off him,only for <i>A Fine Madness</i> to make me respect him again: I'd remembered it as some small movie from before he was a star, but it's actually between Bonds, and, sure, he's trashing his 007 image to upset the producers, but it's also a reminder that actors used to think they had a responsibility to stretch themselves as artists.<br /><br />There's a nice UK interview with Ingrid Pitt where she says Burton and Eastwood had a bet about who would sleep with her first. When she's coy about who won, the normally unfunny interviewer asks, "It wasn't a draw, was it?"ANTHONY SIDEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05787405026283860499noreply@blogger.com
