Movie Reviews of The VillainMovie Review: Nostalgia: Memories of Ann-Margret & Old Tucson Summary: 5 Stars
As a bit-part traveling salesman in the film, I had the distinct pleasure of having a scene with Ann-Margret where I had to steady her as the train rolls into town (actually just fifty feet back-and-forth for each take). Ann-Margret held a suitcase in each hand, so Hal Needham directed me to stand behind her and hold her by the waist to keep her from falling as the train lurches to a stop. We did about eight takes and I wish there had been a dozen more! Hell, I would have paid them to do this part! What a sweet, endearing lady she was and is, and such a fine actress! On the next day's shoot, I told Arnold that if I had his amazing physique, I could be a star; ever the gracious gentleman, he told me that if he had my accent-free speaking voice, HE could be a star! (Guess who won?) Kirk Douglas was (and is) as charming and kind a gentleman as you'd ever hope to meet--not to mention an amazing actor, to boot! (See *Lonely Are The Brave*) This was not an easy role for a wonderful dramatic actor like Kirk, but he played it perfectly, like the consumate professional he is. After moving from Tucson to LA, I drove limos between acting jobs (ahem!) and became Kirk's regular driver. They just don't come any better than Kirk. Folks, enjoy this simple film for what it is: a wonderfully-directed live-action Road Runner cartoon played to the hilt by some of the country's finest actors and character actors, too. Grab a bag of hot, buttered popcorn and a cold beverage of your choice, then sit back and watch this film for what it is. You'll get a belly full of laughs. How can you not love a horse named Whiskey? Ah, how I miss Old Tucson, a train to nowhere, and one glorious day holding a beautiful starlet by the waist. Didn't think I'd ever wash my hands again...
