I’d love to see THE MACOMBER AFFAIR, and thank you for the references to Robert Preston’s other films. Later in his career, he steals every scene from Steve McQueen in JUNIOR BONNER, the same way Bonner appropriates Junior’s horse. I don’t like the film, but Preston is super.

The last time I saw “The Macomber Affair” was on the Million Dollar Movie in Brooklyn, New York.
I guess my favorite is “The Old Man and the Sea”, Spencer Tracy was outstanding.

I always like the romanticized characters, especially if they are expatriates. And, Errol Flynn is downright touching in THE SUN ALSO RISES. I think my favorite is THE SNOWS OF KILIMANJARO, even if EH himself didn’t like it. Susan Hayward gives a lot of weight to her character because of her tough-as-nails star image. Great post as always, Moira.
