It was, although not many of them were A-listers when it was made. In fact, some of them became A-listers on the strength of it.

Yeah, Viggo was in Hidalgo, which I enjoyed quite a bit. Most recently, he was in The Road, which I haven't seen yet. I didn't get all hot and bothered about his "no blood for oil" T-shirt. I expect that kind of nonsense from actors; it comes with the liberal territory in Hollywood.

His only major attempt at a non-swashbuckler/historical role was a huge bomb, Elizabethtown.

I liked that movie!! While we were watching it, on DVD, our youngest son was in another room. When he heard Paula Deen talking, he walked in and said "Mama, that lady sounds like you!" ;o)
