Re: Above.
Interesting because I watched my Blu-ray copy of T I M just last night. I couldn't believe that Rod hadn't been mentioned on this thread as yet, but there you go. I love that movie despite the fact that the critics and Ray Bradbury himself, didn't like it. Ray did state though, that he enjoyed Rod's acting but that the script was lousy. I disagree there too. There was lots of cool dialogue sprinkled throughout the picture. Early on, Rod's hobo character (his skin illustrations were covered up by a large coat) came upon a young Robert Drivas' camping spot. After a few words of greeting, Rod strides over to Robert's gunny sack and starts reciting what he see's inside of it. "Grapes," is one of the items mentioned at which time the Drivas character grabs his sack away from Rod. In a second, Rod grabbed the sack back and with eyes shooting daggers, said, "I said grapes!" Great movie, and Rod was paired with his real life wife at the time, the sexy Claire Bloom. I get the impression that they enjoyed working on the movie together despite the fact that their marriage fell apart not too long after.
