#if i never watched another movie again but this one i think i’d be fine #i love the homoerotic relationship w your priest joke #but also that it’s just a beautifully shot scene about how your hot uncle has a favorite prostitute #and that’s something tancredi needs to tease him about

“I like to find out how the camera works, then I can try for the best effect in what I’m doing. I want to know the director’s angle on things as well. I know it’s difficult. But I’m like that, restless and strung up inside when I’m working. I am searching for something and I haven’t found it yet.”

— Burt Lancaster

#this reminds me of the anecdote on the cattle annie set #where amanda plummer was talking about the awe she felt watching burt’s relationship with the camera #specifically about how he moved for the lens #burt lancaster #quote

#self reblog #so did he bring those from home or

oooooh thoughts?

#ulzana’s raid is the best film but idk if it’s the best character #vengeance valley is overlooked #he’s a charming scoundrel in the professionals and i really think that was his favorite kind of role #not the lead but a character #not ok corral—he had one piece of analysis about earp and holiday being latent homosexuals but beyond that i think he was bored in the role #and its a boring part #he’s so brutal in lawman he’s got jj hunsecker stillness #winner was terrified and wanking behind the camera #maybe vera cruz?? that was his first villain
