I enjoy Jim Brown of that period, too, so it was double the enjoyment for me, though I typically like late-'60s movies in general anyway. I haven't seen it since I traded in my old-style TV and am eager to see it again on a big, wide screen myself, too!<br /><br />Rico, it would have been wonderful (and priceless) for Taylor to reflect on his career in a book. He worked with some amazing people. Maybe he will?<br /><br />NotFelix, I adore Shirley Knight, then and now!<br /><br />TJB, I know you know what it takes to run a blog and, yes, I exhaust even myself sometimes when I get going like that!! This was a rough one, but hopefully worth the trouble.<br /><br />Thanks all!!Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-43232006224650849522013-06-18T22:46:22.458-04:002013-06-18T22:46:22.458-04:00As always, darling, your thoroughness leaves me br...As always, darling, your thoroughness leaves me breathless.

I love that movie. Cheese-factor aside, he plays a very convincing H.G. Wells. My one regret about the movie, though I am a fan of La Mimieux, I am a much bigger fan of Knight. There's much more subtlety and nuance with Knight's acting style.

I've always found ...Yet another enjoyable post. I've always found Rod terribly sexy and his willingness to appear shirtless always welcome. Even when he wasn't without a shirt they usually were so snug it was just as good. <br /><br />I had found out several years ago when I watched Welcome to Woop-Woop that he was an Aussie and it did take me by surprise but the English and Australian always do seem more adept at believable accents than Americans do.<br /><br />Like most everyone I love The Birds and him in it but I've always had a soft spot for that fancy dress trash wallow that is The V.I.P.S. Liz & Dick are the spotlight couple with whiny Louis Jourdan hanging around the periphery but Rod and Maggie's segment is better I think. I believe they had an affair during the making of the film, they certainly have a nice chemistry. The movie also has the one of a kind Margaret Rutherford so all around a fun flick.<br /><br />I've never seen Dark of the Sun but will have to keep an eye out for it, sounds entertaining plus Yvette Mimieux makes anything better! I'll also have to check out the toga flick for obvious reasons.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-57986059076028655792013-06-14T12:58:14.896-04:002013-06-14T12:58:14.896-04:00The poem in question is sexual in nature, so out o...The poem in question is sexual in nature, so out of respect I will not post it in your comments section.<br /><br />The truly curious can use the link below to read it. <br /><br />http://girlyskirtjamboree.blogspot.ca/2013/04/if-you-want-to-work-up-bit-of-saliva.html<br /><br />Enter at your own risk!<br /><br />But you did make my day with this last posting.

He makes it look so easy! <br /><br />Scooter, I, too, was surprised the first time I found out Rod wasn't American. He seemed to be able to portray someone from most anywhere.<br /><br />Knuckles, you should paste your poem here in the comments section for others to enjoy! I like the ending. ;-)Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-14958823883140411672013-06-14T08:52:46.466-04:002013-06-14T08:52:46.466-04:00Fantastic post on a great actor.

We liked him in those early small parts, but he is perfect in The Birds - his Mitch Brenner is ideal sparring with Melanie Daniel, coping with his mother and all those birds! Fate is the Hunter is amusing too. Pity the 2 Doris ones are a bit feeble. There can't be too many actors around who have worked with Hitchcock, John Ford, Antonioni and Tarantino!
