Re: Agree with Barry Lyndon...Ryan O'Neal was the downfall of that film...

I guess you're right about O'Neill. But there's something about this ineptitude and fakery that make him compelling in the role in an odd sort of way. You have to wonder if Kubrick wasn't exploiting O'Neill's shallowness in some way.

Marissa Berenson was certainly not going to win any Oscars either.

Kubrick, as you guys know, was notoriously fussy with his actors, often insisting on take, after take, after take to get the exact thing he was looking for.

Nichelson once quipped "Just because you're a perfectionist, Stanley, doesn't mean you're perfect."
