On Netflix there is a program of Peck after retirement just giving a question and answer session. One of my favorite roles is The Big Country. I am sure that under the critical eye of Roberts that movie would be in second tier status –
For awhile there was a great web program called the Icons (?) with Steven Bogart. They interviewed a lot of classic Hollywood people and Katheryn Wyler came up. She told a lot of interesting things about the making of TBC including a feud over a scene that developed between Peck and Wyler that lasted decades. (you do have those interviews don’t you Robert?)
She did say that she thought at times the music was overpowering (it probably is – but it endures) and her father wanted to do a bit more editing but he had to go to Italy to start Ben Hur.
Myrna Loy sounds like she had her head on right.
I wonder if it would bother Peck that his most remembered role is in the war movie “12 o’clock high?”
Of course “To Kill a Mockingbird” is a famous role. My favorites are “Holiday in Rome” and “The Big Country.”
“12 o’clock High” is most famous for the writing which is used in leadership seminars all the time.
Ah, Myrna… 🙂
(and the link for Ric von Neumann won’t work for me, Robert)
Fixed. Enjoy.
