Great performance as Rockwell Torry’s XO, CDR Eddington. Complex character made believable...

Probably the first attempt to tell the story of Ragnar Lothbrok. Ernst Borgnine was Ragnar.

He was one of many Hollywood actors who served in the military.

Its been on one of the movie channels here lately. It was on like twice in one day and disappeared. I’ve seen it a couple of times. The story fit the French to a “T”. Always find someone responsible for getting their sorry @$$e$ blasted by yet another enemy. It took those colonist’s from the west to come over and save their sorry butts. That is France alright. Blame someone else for their faults.

One of my favorite actors (I watch old movies). Does anyone know what kind of Jew he was? Maybe Orthodox?

Rest in peace, Issur Danielovitch. Thanks for the wonderful entertainment - you were one of the best - and condolences to your family.

Typical Hollywood lib of his era, but a great actor nonetheless.

"Top Secret Affair" with Susan Hayward was always funny and intelligent to me.

Kirk Douglas was a presence. A real star.

RIP

The last time I saw him, it was on an episode of ‘Touched By An Angel’ back in 2000. He did a great job on this, even after his stroke.

Rest in Peace, sir.

In Harms Way with John Wayne and Patricia Neal is one of my fave Douglas films. He plays a very broken character who gains some redemption...
