There are other, arguably more talented, filmmakers whose work I do regret spending time on.Robert Cashillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076036979390614870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22795193.post-66989783464669121732008-04-02T10:40:00.000-04:002008-04-02T10:40:00.000-04:00I saw Taras Bulba on an import DVD a couple of yea...I saw <B>Taras Bulba</B> on an import DVD a couple of years ago. Originally it was intended as a Burt Lancaster vehicle, possibly with Curtis. Miscast, but there are some pretty good action sequences.<BR/><BR/>I saw <B>Ice Cold in Alex</B> and <B>Tiger Bay</B> also on British DVDs. Both are worth checking out. Lee-Thompson may not be a pantheon director, or even far side of paradise, but he did make a handful of films that I don't regret seeing, including <B>McKenna's Gold</B>.Peter Nellhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04161286159856159772noreply@blogger.com
