Darling, you were wonderful!

One of the real surprises, and treats, of the Christmas period, was Kimbo's showing of an old film that I was in. He has a full-size (well almost) cinema screen, and it's just like being at The Odeon.

I must admit, my film career was short and rather insignificant; Hollywood never called!

We watched a bit of 'The Duallists' on Christmas Eve, and managed to grab this 'still' from the moving picture (hence the poor quality).

On the far left is Keith Carradine, bottom left with Champagne is Lady Magnon, peering out from behind the portly singer in the centre of the picture is the dashing officer Cro, and on the far right is Harvey Keitel. There are a few other worthies in the picture, but I can't remember their names. I had completely forgotten that Lady M and I were in this one scene together. Luckily young Kimbo has a copy of the film..... WE don't.

The Director was Ridley Scott and the Producer David Puttnam. 

I can't say it was all fun. We were filming late into the night, and early in the morning. The catering was very poor, and we spent hours in 'make-up' every day.

Would I recommend that you watch the finished product? Well, if you really have nothing better to do, and nothing else to watch, then you might enjoy it. The film is very 'brooding' in its appearance; influenced, they said, by Stanley Kubrick's film 'Barry Lynden'.

I know, I know; I haven't aged a bit darling.

OK, the story-line is a bit thin, but the superb acting (ahem) makes up for it!!!

Verdict: 4/10 (except for my scenes of course)
