Very true, Red, but Thompson had more talent than the average Hollywood player and he clearly had something to say at the beginning of his career. Sometimes I think that part of the problem with any career is that people only have so much they feel deeply about, but making a living may require going through the motions much of the time. A career in the arts seems to be even more demanding, and movies are the most expensive of them of all in terms of moolah, time, effort and the determination needed--not to mention talent.RedRiver wrote:Certainly THE GUNS OF NAVARRONE is nothing to be ashamed of. A tense and atmospheric action film. I just checked his credits on the internet. Most of it, I haven't seen. Or even heard of. Maybe some of it's not what the director himself would have liked. But you know what? Everybody has to make a living. A filmmaker who made three or four top notch movies can be proud of his work. A couple of Planet of the Apes sequels? Well...it's not exactly Dr. Moreau, but I've seen worse!
