Forget Charlton's politics for a moment: his competition w/Peck's character in "The Big Country" is classic. Peck makes passivism courageous---in a Western, for God's sake! One of his least appreciated roles, and one of the few Hollywood budget busters that was truly great (Burl Ives, Chuck Connors, Jean Simmons [she never looked more beautiful], Charles Bickford---what a cast!).

--My fav demo track for the non-believers--' Main Title Theme from the Big Country' Morton Gould /London Symphony Orchestra Varese Sarabande LP--it's an early Digital but stupendous dynamics and clarity,probably recorded before the 'Digi' hotshots started screwing up analog bigtime.
Yep great movie.

I do not too much about Helston politic, only that he likes arms....I think that he certainly is an decent person..anyway he belong to the classic, and, I should have write...One of the last hero......
I am very sad about his dismise.
