More to come – much more to say about this flawed yet lovely film<\/a> – but for now.<\/p>\n

Best friends in real life. They’d been best friends since the 1950s at this point. And here they are – Playing characters in a movie. Over 10 years before Frank Booth and “Ben” came together in Blue Velvet<\/i>. The two of them had a VERY tough decade ahead of them at the time of the shooting of the film below – work drying up, nothing happening, careers stalled, serious drug addiction, financial strife, dead in the water. But for now: It’s 1974 (that’s when it was shot). They’re listening and talking. And enjoying<\/i> each other – it’s wonderful to watch their dynamic. I could look at stills like this all day long.<\/p>\n

They’re traveling – On the train. A real train – not a set. A moving train. With no “extras” – whoever was in the car, was also in the scene. It was that kind of shoot. So they’re going across the country. Listening to each other and talking to each other. Their faces.<\/p>\n

There’s something so honest about it. They’re showing more than they’re telling. In every shot. It’s great.<\/p>\n
