633 Squadron was a good movie. Now I have to find a video of it.

I liked him in “The Devils Brigade” or what ever the name of the movie was.

Blows my mind to hear he was 88. He was in a wild-and-woolly early episode of “The Untouchables,” as a thug who gets plastic surgery. Quite memorable episode.

He was the star of the very first episode of “The Outer Limits,” “The Galaxy Being.”

The World Almanac has his date of birth as 9/9/25, but Wikipedia says he was born in 1923 which would make him 88.

I remember the movie and that plywood Mosquito was one of the greatest WW-II warplanes.

“J.W. Coop” (1971) was just on last week - a fine portrayal of a cowboy just out of prison making some money on the rodeo circuit. Cliff Robertson starred, directed and co-wrote it - Geraldine Page played his mom. Good movie.

I think you meant to send that to someone else.

It didn’t help his acting career That's putting it mildly. Robertson was blacklisted for blowing the whistle on producer David Begelman's accounting fraud, and he didn't work in the industry for several years.
