'The Bridges At Toko-Ri' in reserve. Where are the William Holden's of the current age? I guess I can think of a few contenders.

I can never get enough of Robert Mitchum and 'The Hunters' is a bit dodgy on the ground but has IMO the best and most thrilling flying sequences on film. Forget 'Top Gun', give me an F-86 going toe to toe with a Mig-15 any day.

The wife is on an over nighter with her sister so I have a couple buddies over for this a shoot em up beginning to the New Year.

won't be another, in any age.
Same for Robert Ryan. He was a four-time heavyweight amateur boxing champion. Also, a fine war record. When he played a tough guy, he wasn't playing.
It's kind of hard for a Robert Downey or Johnny Depp to play tough, unless one is very young and ignorant of the previous generation's actors.
