"So...what's all the fuss about: boring!"
But, with an erudite, astute, and clever film appreciator, such as yourself, praising it-----I'll check it out again, soon. Garner is a strange one, kind of like a non-drunk Dean Martin.
Follow Ups:
James Garner...now there is an actor!My favorite Garner moment on film is in "The Great Escape", when he is cradling Donald Pleasance's body. The dazed, surprised expression on his face will live with me forever.
Of course, "The Great Escape" is a family favorite, but not just for Garner or McQueen's motorcycling...my wife's father was in Stalag Luft III AFTER the escape attempt. Just before the Soviets arrived, the Nazis cleared out the camp and began marching the POWs westward. Happily, the Soviets caught up with them in a day or two later.
We can't wait for the special edition DVD with the documentaries on Stalag Luft III. My wife's father died when she turned 15, and every scrap of detail she can find out about his experiences means so much to her.
I liked him in "Murphy's Romance" with Sally Field.
