      P.S. Yeah. Once upon a time in the west is the all time great western. Ennio Morricone's music is stunning.

      'Telefon'- Donald Pleasence also starred, as did the lovely Lee Remick, Patrick Magee and Alan Badel, and Tyne Daly as an intelligence analyst.

      He also had a part in 'House of Wax' with Vincent Price.

      He was a better actor than most of his films would indicate, but with a physiognomy like his he was never going to get roles played by less gifted actors.

      And yes, the Death Wish series is trash- with Michael Winner as a director there's not much hope for any film. Like King Midas in reverse, every thing he touched turns to crap-ola.

        Death wish 3 had the best "bad guy is distracted, good guy grabs a gun, shoots the bad guy". Charles shot the bad guy, with a basooka! Neat.

        He was a bomber gunner during WWII. Not much famous people can say that. And Dirty Dozen was good.

          What a shame now that he can't make DW4.

                I thought that was how you liked it.

                    I'll bet St. Swithin is getting a lot done around the house tonight...
                    Life and death is a grave matter;
                    all things pass quickly away.
                    Each of you must be completely alert;
                    never neglectful, never indulgent.

                      Actually, he was a driver who never left the states. The gunner thing was something that his agent made up. A lot of bomber aircrew got killed during the war, especially in the heavy bombers. My grandfather's cousin was killed in 1943 during the ill-fated first daylight bomber offensive. So perhaps it's better that he was in Arizona for the duration, especially as he was able to make a film you liked.
                      He's got the Midas touch.
                      But he touched it too much!

                        He was great in Once Upon a Time in the West, and casting Henry Fonda as the baddie was brilliant. That was his best film...

                          I just wish to add that He was Lithuanian immigrant... But to be exact, He was Polish. Just to not make Saras to happy...
