That project I have kept alluding to over the past 2 or 3 weeks:
My William Holden tribute is up at House Next Door!

Oh my goodness…that picture!!!!!!!
Outstanding write-up.
Timely also in that I have 2 Holden movies queued up, “Bridge on the River Kwai” and “The Counterfeit Traitor”.
There have been a few movies that left me thinking about them long after having seen them and 2 are Holden flicks, Sunset and Wild Bunch.
Regards.
Emily – isn’t it great? Love him.
Hank –
Wild Bunch is amazing – I decided not to cover it and focus mainly on Sunset Boulevard and Bridge on River Kwai – but I agree: a powerful and deep performance!!
I’ve never seen The Counterfeit Traitor – let me know what you think of it.
Me too, Sheila! I won’t get a chance to read your essay until a little later, but I can’t wait, especially since you’re covering Sunset! One of my all-time favorites!
i don’t know how you get me all choked up about movies i’ve never seen!
and now they’re all on my list…
Lovely piece, as usual. Maybe someday we’ll get your thoughts on The Wild Bunch in a separate article? Please?
