There are some leftists I will not support at the box office: Sean Penn, Danny Glover, and a few others. James Garner was not one of them, as far as I know he did not support third world dictators and he did get along with conservatives. I would not be able to view many movies if I judged actors and directors strictly along Party lines.
I agree with your comments.
Will add I respect him for his 14 months
of combat in the Korean War.Two PH`s.
Saw today he was a Red Devil as I was in VN.
So many great movies he made that will live on.
Don`t agree with his politics,but I will miss him.
RIP
