The weekly old movie review from Kathy Shaidle at Steyn Online.

Have to admit I've never heard of this one, and I'm a big Frankenheimer fan (Ronin anyone? The last good flick Robert DeNiro did...). I'll have to give it a watch.

Anything with Jeff Corey (who I know as Mr. Lomax) in it is usually great. LOL

This is a great movie. I discovered it by accident in my 20s and it was very powerful. And Mark Steyn is right, the final scene is haunting and not something I’ve ever forgotten.

Does anyone know why Mark seemed to be missing for awhile recently?

-—”In 1900, the average American male life expectancy was 47.”

This is misleading. Does anyone think that the newspaper obituaries were filled with 47 year olds dropping dead? The average(!) includes all the infant deaths and children who died from TB and smallpox.
