One more David Lean film:
Brief Encounter

Very much of its time (1945) - not only is it a very good screenplay, but also offers a glimpse into post-WWII British society.

Bob Hope, whose on-screen comedic chemistry with sidekick Willie Best has a lot to do with why this film works, once called Best "One of the finest actors I've ever worked with."
Remade as the 1953 Dean Martin/Jerry Lewis comedy "Scared Stiff." (bob hope had a cameo in it)
This film was such a big box office hit that, for years after its release, other studios made similar movies in hopes of replicating its success. Among those "copycat" films was 1941's The Smiling Ghost, a Warner B-movie that starred Alexis Smith and cast Willie Best in a role similar to the one he plays in Ghost Breakers.
My Favorite Brunette, 1947... bob hope and dorothy lamour star...

Paint Your Wagon, 1969..
Lee Marvin drank real alcohol throughout the production, even though director Joshua Logan fought him about it. In most movies, the actors and actresses drink tea for whiskey and water for vodka. Marvin would only work if he got real liquor. He was apparently drunk nearly every day of filming.
Lee Marvin's single recording of "Wand'rin' Star" from this film hit the top spot on the record charts in Great Britain, with a peak sale in excess of 34,000 copies a day. He was set to star in The Wild Bunch (1969), a project that he helped put together with stuntman Roy N. Sickner, when Paramount Pictures offered him $1 million, plus a percentage of the box-office take, to star in this movie (it took over $30m at said box office)

Good series - I have it, but I think it went downhill when they were 'exiled' in the US.Quote:
