there are so many things done right in this video: the best for me is that luxor had the smarts to put it all in slow motion, giving us a chance to enjoy the grace of it all. Hemingway once said (something on the order)::, "courage is grace under pressure". Here it is in full view.

this baby surprised me how good it was with its swarm of known faces disturbing the real look, the german stuff is astonishingly good and even the plethora, stickily sweet ladling on of all the american cameos almost works. As usual Mitchum turns in the most convincing job with oddly enough Rich...

Lasker was so good and profound that even Fischer couldn't fathom him. Even later when he tried to, shall we say, backtrack, even then his remarks were not in the least insightful. I suspect that at the rrime of each, Lasker might have lost their first game just to get the sounding of his man, ...

@ArtinArt here dummy, just to show you how stupid your are Or maybe you dont even know just how good Fine was.

As I pored over the games of the great masters, two styles appealed to me above all others: Lasker and Steinitz. In Lasker I saw, above all, the supreme tactical genius . And in St...

yep, terrible movie, however it does have one great actor Wolfgang Preiss, playing senor Erwin, and that alone is enough. And for those who want, uhh, realism: well hate to break the news but George C. Scott was nothing like the real Patton. For starters Patton had a very high, almost girlish v...

Larsen was a very interesting figure in chess. Many points on his brainy compass. Multi lingual

mucho and apparently fluent in most, very likable fellow, probably would have been a neat one to sit down over a few glasses of beers and hot dogs with.

two fine actors Preiss and Schofield, and perhaps they belong in JUST that order

a familiar face Preiss, almost too familiar, drafter as it were into many a war film, he was truly capable of anything however, hard to say whether or not I preferred him over Curt Jergens. Both were fantastic.

it truly is a flawless two and a half minutes the sort that deserves about 3 million viewers if they truly knew the depths and heights that cinema can reach he hits about nine different distinct emotions, none of which were in the script, all his doing, most actors would drive through it with ...

thank goodness somebody just posted his bit in the film Anzio: he was amazing in that scene, just flat out great dont miss it, fabulous

they finally tok it down but for quite a while Betrayed was here: very fine stuff Gable did there, if you can get it somewhere be sure and catch it.

first off fisherrandom is practically a misnome: long before he, Pal Benko was advocating random chess. And as for computers taking the game over, once you are in the middle game chess is just the same as it always was, terra incognita all computers really do is supply future gms with a stron...

a real tossup for me whether Harry O is better than Columbo for what.....just watching them in action. So different in style, kinda, yet so similar: but of the two I still find more subtlety, more variation in Jannsen Columbo is great but finally rides the same train the same track each ...

was this Lester also in the harry o Gertrude or was that some other guy?????????????

could not disagree more: actually the first bit not pictured here I found him very believable, but here he descends into overacting. Never bought a single bit of it. It's a fine line to tread when you play things big, particularly this big. Cagney could, White Heat, Mitchum Cape Fear, Steward ...

very curious bit of good acting in the first part of Pecks rage where he says you think that's easy, and then descends into just flat out unbelievability when he tells Niven he's in the mood to use this thing: very overdone. Never believed a word of it. There is another moment earlier with Qui...

Crawford was very very good: that John Wayne walk, the fastest on the draw with words of anybody ever and I do mean ever, and always believable. Quite a guy.

the real crime is how Chaplin hornswoggled Welles: the opening is standard, and stupid but it gets much much better: notice how Chaplin uses his hands

in this like big bees flitting about. Only Lancaster used his hands better, and of course much more obviously. No other actors ever came clos...

cavett has a point: he is saying just because everyone speaks they are not necessarily writers, and brando is saying yes we are all writers

cavett says we are not always acting

brando says we are always acting

cavett says no once you mount a stage or go before a camera THATs acting, bu...

perhaps the test of any actor is to ask him or her to impersonate somebody whom they have worked with or know any of the good ones seem to fall into

that sort of thing when they recall any of their most intimate encounters

Here Stamp does a fairly good rendition of Brando, capturing the feel

of...

brando gave us Godfather, and not much else except some brilliant showoff spurts of acting in only a very few movies: is that enough? F Scott Fitzgerald gave us Gatsby and a few neat short stories. More than enough. Brando was a showman and guilty of his profession, that's all, but he was not...

this was done in 88

this is easily enough check by the credits perhaps but isn't the guy who ropes Crawford back into the stuff at the end the same guy who plays the producer near the end of La Dolce Vita at that famous party, he comes into his own house, window broken, is handed a plate of spaghetti, etc a minor p...

its shots like these which puts him in a class few ever got remotely close to

Woods could never have done what Seve did with that bloody three iron

as well as Trevino inventive as he was Hogan probably would have shrugged

and said my job is to stay out of bunkers Nelson would have just la...

odd how almost nobody is still aware of how this dialog was lifted almost

verbatim from the book. Does anyone know if Higgins ever commented on

how he felt the job that Mitch did was ok, good, great, Higgins, much more

than Yates deserve credit for this being as good as it was, though Yates w...

someone here posted but would this have been so hilarious had the characters been white. Sorry try to come up with a series like that. It plays off Harlem, and ethnic humor which is no more racist than Fiddler on the Roof. Try doing that in the U.S on the farm say. They are funny precisely b...

screen presence yes, but nobody ever filled the screen with a physical aura like Lancaster look at him say in Valdez is coming how he leaps around so gracefully and then settles over his rifle so powerfully shooting at a one thousand yards or breaking the beer bottle in From Here to Eternit...

fischer could easily have made an offer to play Karpov had he wanted" there were plenty of backers to put up the money for a match: had Karpov refused Fischer would have called him the coward. He didn't. At bottom he was the coward, look at how then cravenly he comes back to play Spassky for ...

maurice ronet had a sadness to his looks that Malle used well in The Fire Within

this was when they still knew how to make movies
