If there ever was a REAL movie star, there is Burt Lancaster. Its depth and range and incredible physical presence remain unmatched. He gave the impression that he knew more than we ordinary people, that he had some sort of a deep wisdom.

Just brilliant! What incredible performances and what a powerful and productive partnership between John Frankenheimer and Burt Lancaster. Two of the greats!

He really knew how to 'chew up the scenery.' When he's preaching, or charming, you can't take your eyes off of him...such amazing charisma.

Burt was a great man, and a brilliant actor, they broke the mould when they made him, for sure.

It's all about 4:49! Damn! Thanks for uploading, uploader. Sadly, I missed his TCM month back in 2013. I can't wait for From Here to Eternity on the big screen in December!!
I'd read that he sometimes made films he wasn't crazy about, as a trade-off to do films he had a passion for, like Come Back Little Sheba & The Swimmer (my favorite of his).

The climactic 7 Days in May scene where President Lyman (Frederic March) confronts the seditious General Scott (Burt Lancaster) in the Oval Office includes the finest defense of freedom I have ever heard spoken. Jordan Lyman is the best president of my lifetime; the fact that the best is not real is troubling indeed.

Rod Sterling wrote the screenplay for 'Seven Days In May' and March delivered the dialogue with great conviction.

Certainly a great actor. Yet somehow he always kind of gave me the creeps too. It's hard to describe, but maybe you know what I'm talking about.
@nicholasschroeder3678 Жыл бұрын
I think his looks and physique made him the ultimate alpha male, and there's always violence just before the surface. I think Sean Connery had that same quality, which made him such a believable Bond. Just dangerous being themselves.

John Wayne went up to him an offered his hand and said we should make a film together, lancaster refused the dukes hand and said, you must be crazy, that to me shows a lack of class in the man, great actor or not !

John Wayne was a hero only on screen but a notorious coward in real life. World War II. Check bio and facts.

Hey mybluecat1, don't let the facts get in the way of your opinions. From John Wayne's biography on Wikipedia: "Wayne applied to the U.S. Naval Academy, but he was not accepted. U.S. National Archives records indicate that Wayne had, in fact, made an application] to serve in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). Wayne was exempted from service due to his age. Wayne toured U.S. bases and hospitals in the South Pacific for three months in 1943 and 1944.[4]:253 with the USO. By many accounts, his failure to serve in the military was the most painful part of his life.""
