Oliver Reed has always been one of my best favorite actors. In fact, I simply love this man, I'm terribly sorry that I didn't know him personally and, ideally, that we played together in a movie. Not having this chance, I am always happy to see his movies again and again, any of them, for me, are a huge joy. Too bad he died so young, only 61 years old, he would have been 81 now and we could have filmed something together, I'm convinced that we would have gotten along wonderfully, from all points of view, including outside the set, with a bottle of wine, whiskey, anything good. Ian McShane is another actor that I really like, in all the movies I've seen with him, very natural and talented. Edward Woodward, Frank Finlay, Freddie Jones, all three, very
talented and natural too. Jill Townsend, very beautiful and delicate, too bad she doesn't make movies anymore. And Jill St. John, she was a beauty, but not really to kill for her. The movie is good, it has some great scenes, the escape from prison, the duel between Oliver Reed and the cops on motorcycles among the sheets lying in the wind to dry in the inner courtyard of the block, being just two of them. Stanley Myers' music is great. The ending is very special, Oliver Reed and Jill St. John in the car burning and exploding. Absolutely worth seeing.
