Almost 40 years ago. Maybe lay it to rest like the dead body they were looking for in the movie.

Ignoring the fact "Stand By Me' was produced by Meathead (Rob Reiner), it remains and endearing classic movie (IMHO) from the 1980s, as it takes a nostalgic look back at the 1950s.

Hard to believe, but the 1980s are farther back in the review view mirror than the 1950s were in the 1980s.

I’ve read its fairly common for directors to create wedges to enhance the emotions between actors. One example was Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer in the original Top Gun.

In 1990, I worked many days and nights on DIE HARD 2. One afternoon, I was sneaking peeks at the footage in what they call “video village”. I left to go back to my area through a path in deep snow. Took ten steps and a tall figure walked toward me and stopped in the narrow path. It was Bruce Willis. He just glared at me. With one look, I stepped aside into the snow and let him pass by. It didn’t take long for me to realize that it wasn’t Bruce Willis just being a jerk, it was “John McLane” telling me to get out of his way. Kind of cool, in a way, to have an interaction with a fictional cinematic character.
