I'll warn you, it's not moral -- Jude's character and Cameron's character start their relationship based entirely off sex, but Kate Winslet's half of the plot, which involves interacting with Eli Wallach, is enormously sweet.

No way I would sit through all of it if Tuco wasn't there quipping things like, "If you're gonna shoot, shoot! Don't talk."

This is kind of ironic that Eli Wallach just died, because I was just reading about him in an old issue of American Cowboy, and that was the first I'd ever heard of him. I've never seen him in a movie before and don't know much about him, but I'd really like to see The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

Magnificent Seven would just not be the same with his Calvera. And I loved him in "Tough Guys," with Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas. He has a great body of work. I do need to read that autobiography sometime. RIP, Eli Wallach.DKorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819702518388146971noreply@blogger.com
