Right, turns out it was actually a theme park in northern California with all of the villagers in on the trick but not the John Wayne character - according to the unproduced sequel.

Richard Wydmark.

Max Von Sydow.

Max Von Sydow is the Michael Caine of Swedish actors; in lots of groundbreaking and classic art house films early in his career, then wasted in copious amounts of Hollywood fluff afterwards.

NEVER!!! Harrison Ford was made to play Indy!!

And Tom Selleck didn’t turn it down, per se, he really had no choice as he was in contract to play Magnum.

Regarding Henry & Witness were also very good Harrison Ford movies.

I have to agree with you - it wouldn’t be the same movie with Tom Selleck.
 
Ok, but I saw him in a very good film about a man imprisoned in a cell which was impossible to escape from…and Needful things, very good.

Richard Burton.
 
Last night I started to watch “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf”.

Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.

I like her in Cat in a hot tin roof too, with Paul Newman.

Pelle le Conquerant won a lot of praise at the time it was released, but I thought it was just gross.
 
I don’t understand, what is that film? Is that the film about the cell?
 
I’m not familiar too much with his American films other than the Exorcist, and he played the father in the film, “A Kiss Before Dying”
 
I’m not too big of a Seleck fan. My sister came across a filming of “Blue Bloods” a number of years ago. She let me know he’s quite tall.
 
Max was awesome in Needful Things.

If I remember correctly, he is one of the only actors to have played both Jesus Christ (The Greatest Story Ever Told) and the Devil (Needful Things)
 
Tony Curtis, the Boston …strangler 😲

And how about Burt Lancaster an actual ex trapeze artist in the trapeze film?

Burt Lancaster was my godmother’s favorite actor.

I like him in “Come Back Little Sheba”
 
Did the actor who played little Sheeba play the part of lassie too?

Leslie Nielson.

David Niven
 
No.

Little Sheba was only mentioned in the film, never seen. ( that’s why she needed to come back).

Lassie might have been a distant cousin. 😉
 
James Mason

I fell in love with Merle Oberon when I was four.

And I think I first fell in love with Catholicism when I saw Ingrid Bergman in Joan of Arc at a very young age.

I wonder why the Vatican doesn’t promote Catholic feature films?

I think he was in ‘Judge Dread’ and definitely ‘Hannah and Her Sisters’ (a little more dignified).

I want to say he’s good in whatever he appears in but the movie around him more often than not is pretty cheesy.

But check out ‘Hour of the Wolf’ or ‘The Magician’ or ‘The Spring’ or ‘The Seventh Seal’ from the earliest part of his career - astounding movies, gifts to civilization!
