They put so many bullets in him you could see Pluto through his gut! It's good to know that an expert craftsman takes pride in the work that he does - and does it well.
"there's nothing I can do about it", the first words uttered by Burt Lancaster in what was to be a long and great career by one of Hollywood 's great actors. Burt was so talented & versatile an actor there were few who could compare with him. he never made a bad film.
Why would they call him the "Swede?" Everybody knows he was Sicilian. The blond type.

The Swede being found working at a gas station in a small town reminds me of how Jim was found in Out of the Past.

Burt Lancaster is one of my favorite actors. I just have one question...WHY WAS HE SO FINE????!!! Good God!
ohsnapitsme59 7 months ago
@ohsnapitsme59 What do you mean by Fine? He was a trapeze artist when he was first noticed. That is why he was so light on his feet. Lovely man.

I don't think those two hitmen are homosexual.

@LightStijn Yeah! Why does everybody read homosexuality into everything! And especially in films from this era?

Both were terrific. But Burt didn't get to narrate a chimpanzee's funeral.
Although he made friends with one in ELMER GANTRY.
