In Reply to: "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" A very well thought of posted by tinear on April 29, 2009 at 12:06:53:
He gives a great performance, one that would pigeon-hole him for the rest of his career. I thought Michael Sarrazin was wrong for the part-too bland. And he was meant to be the heart of the movie. I would have preferred a stronger actor for the role. Fonda just walked all over him. I thought the Oscar winning performance of Red Buttons was vastly overrated-too hammy. Remember it was a Pollack film. He did good work, usually, with big stars. But he was a kind of schmaltzy director. I don't think he was right for it. Too dark a subject matter for his style. It should have been a better movie. A lot of good actors had fine supporting parts in this one. It was adapted from a really a great little novel, oftentimes compared to "Day of the Locust." Just didn't make it to film as well as it could have. I had the good fortune of visiting the sound stage to see the sets. It was my first visit to Warner Brothers as a youth. Met the producers and the production designer.
