Guess they forgot to tell Bill Buckley. "...as we reason and love, we are able to hope. And hope enables us to resist those things that would enslave us." |

I just picked up the 'Dollars trilogy' at Costco last week. A good reason now to go and re-watch them.
I hadn't realized that Eli Wallach was only in the last one until looking at his wiki article. Here's another interesting tidbit: "Wallach and Leone had built a good relationship during shooting The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, but had a falling-out later on. Leone had asked Wallach to play a role in his upcoming film, A Fistful of Dynamite, but the actor explained he had a scheduling conflict. After much pleading, Wallach finally relented and turned down the other offer and waited for Leone to raise enough Hollywood money for the picture. However, the studio Leone went to had an actor, Rod Steiger, with one more picture in his studio contract and the studio announced that Leone would have to use him if they were to put up any financing. Leone then called to apologize to Wallach, who remained dumbstruck on the other end of the line. After even refusing to give Wallach a token payment for losing out on two jobs, the actor said, "I'll sue you"—to which Leone replied, "Get in line", and slammed down the phone. In his autobiography, Wallach relates the incident as regrettably being the final time the two spoke to each other." |

The third of three different actors to play Mr Freeze on the 60s Batman show. The first was George Sanders, who later killed himself; the second was Otto Preminger, who was such an unpleasant prima donna on set that the cast and crew would have never had him back again.

Always liked him in the Magnificent Seven. He said if he known how energetic the music was going to be, he'd have rode his horse with more gusto.
