Great film alright. Completely forgot about that one.

Haven't got around to watching it yet but All is lost (2013), one of his more recent ones, is meant to be good too.

Oh No

just 5 days after her famous countrywoman Sophia LOREN turned 91, we learn that Claudia CARDINALE has passed. She was 87.

Loved her Sixties roles in Circus World, The Professionals and especially the marathon italian western Once Upon a Time in the West.

Any of you seen those flicks ?

Heart-stopping natural beauty she was, just like Sophia, Gina and Pier.

Claudia Cardinale: Italian actress and star of The Pink Panther dies aged 87

The actress, who starred in Fellini's 8 1/2, is synonymous with the golden age of Italian cinema.

This is such a pity, yeah, she was great in everything, and at everything, from comedy to drama, and I imagine she was great for her fellow cast members to act with. She certainly was a muse for the great Woody Allen, they were perfect together!

RIP D'Angelo! 51 years young

I have fond memories of Nicola Pietrangeli whenever I visited the Rome Tournament,he and his wife always sat in the front row during the tournament, he was a beacon for Italian tennis, when Rome up graded its tournament, they named a court Pietrangeli after Nicola, so well deserved.
Ciao Nicola and RIP!

Very sad news about Rob Reiner and his wife being murdered at home. Great director, very tragic for them to die this way..

absolutely shocking. It will be interesting to find out who did this and why. I hope to goodness this isn't about his politics

I don’t know his politics but I heard a rumour that his son did it?

I don’t know his politics but I heard a rumour that his son did it?

When this started to break last night, we were hoping it was some mistake. Sadly, true that they are dead, and TMZ has been saying since last night that it was the son, Nick. He had a long history of drug addiction. Apparently, one of their daughters found them.

BTW, Rob Reiner was politically active. He was a liberal.

One of my fave films of all time: “Ghosts of Mississippi”
