Im getting ready to watch old episodes of Donnie and Marie and the Cher show. Thanks guys...smile
I have never heard of any of these movies...giggle
Spot was my favourite Siskel and Ebert dog.
Saying Huppert was an actress to keep an eye on...wow that aged like prime scotch! (As did she actually)
Wild Geese has one of the best/worst things to say to a threat.
Matheson "Well..I suppose you'd better kill me!"
Faulkner "Yes I suppose I better had.."
Loads gun
Matheson "Now wait a moment!"
The two queens of the lousy takes do it again. The Wild Geese is brilliant.
Did Donnie and Marie find that tiki doll yoo?
No, The Brady Bunch got to it first.
Donnie & Marie were in a movie? Who knew?
A DREAM OF PASSION inspired by Euripede's Medea. If I had to suggest what was the first Greek Tragedy a person should read first, it'd be Oedipus Rex and Philoctetes by Sophocles, Medea by Euripedes and Seneca (a Roman), and Prometheus Bound and the Oresteia by Aeschylus. Also seeing some inspiration of Medea in Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction.
You learn something new EVERYDAY. Donny and Marie, made a movie??
Now the challenge becomes forgetting it.
Violette was an early great performance from the divine Isabelle Huppert - a truly magnificent movie! It's the only one of these films I have seen.
Slow Dancing In The City 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟
Violette 👍🌟🌟🌟
3.50 to see a movie?! Man AND the movies were better?...smh.
No need to blame Burton doing this for the money. What about R Moore who was a major star at this point and the current J Bond.
I think they were singling out Burton, because he was coming off several stinkers at that time ; Burton was pretty blatant that he was making films strictly for the cash, even though he had built up a formidable reputation ten years before The Wild Geese. Richard Harris had been in some crap, as well. With Moore, you knew what you were gonna get for the most part (men of daring-do and all that).

I be fair they all knew they were making it for the money and they were pretty clear about it.
There’s actually a Richard Harris quote “wild geese is a film? I thought it was a summer camp”
IIRC Siskel also indicted Moore for grabbing a quick paycheck when he named Wild Geese (a personal guilty pleasure) Dog of the Year.
Last thing Richard Burton did was be in 1984, based on George Orwell's novel. Nifty way to cap off a long varied cinematic career.
The one problem with the movie at least in my opinion is it no mercenary fully trust a man who he's working for in the real world I think Colonel Faulkner would have had a back-up plan and not trusted sir Edward for one second
