Boy, do I agree! He had me from the first moment, when he dragged his fingernails down that blackboard - a genuinely fascinating man to watch! Singing his song as they left port, and telling his memories of sharks when his cruiser sunk - unmatchable! As Henry VIII in A Man for All Seasons, he was just an interesting figure. Did you see him as the terrorist in the original Taking of Pelham 1 2 3?

Bob..I just wanted to briefly comment on this poem and..
the movie "Jaws" - one of my all-time favorites...we have it on dvd and watch it around late spring-early summer...I thought Robert Shaw stole that movie as far as acting's concerned...

Extraordinary talent was there to entice our imaginations though, was it not? I like the way you write it.

I think this is the secret to the old black and white movies, so much was left to our imaginations, imaginations that were larger than film...Great post. I will catch up on those I missed.
