Kirk Douglas is a great and beloved actor but who has some nutty ideas about gun control, as in “no citizen should be allowed to own a handgun”, etc.
He was appearing in a western movie, Colt six-shooter by his side, when his co-star chided him for his inconsistency about toting guns on camera while preaching confiscation in the name of public safety.
“But you don’t understand, this is all make-believe!!”
“No, Kirk, this is all about `make-money’!”
Anyway, my favorite Kirk Douglas film is his role as the WW1 French Army officer (oops, lots of guns there, too).
He was great in “20,000 Leagues under the Sea”, as well.
