This one's a helluva stretch @thedove. But had Cubby managed to cement a deal with Columbia Pictures, who owned the rights in the Eighties, then I'm pretty sure they would've waited for Roger Moore's tenure to end before filming Casino Royale with e…

No, @mtm. That's not what the topic of this thread is about. 8-X

There's multiple reasons why men look much younger than their actual years nowadays than our bygone actors. One of the biggest factors is that life was so much harder for certain people growing up in war-torn Britain than it is today. Of course ther…

All very good points @Since62. I've watched an awful lot of Tarantino interviews and he claims that he doesn't like being hired to write screenplays, citing the Crimson Tide as a very unhappy creative experience. He said he just can't be required to…
