  • ‘Brannigan’ also has the added bonus of Richard Attenborough in the cast. Who can forget his, er, unforgettable performance in that wonderful End of Empire film ‘Guns at Batasi’?

    I wonder how Attenborough got along with Wayne, considering he said he regarded James Stewart as too right-wing?

    Attenborough and Wayne got along just fine. They had an admiration for each other. Many people in the business were leery of working with Wayne because of his strong political beliefs. But once they met and got to know him, they almost unanimously were glad they did. Kirk Douglas and Wayne were far apart on political leanings, but got along great. Mark Rydell, the director of The Cowboys, was worried about working with Duke. But he found himself getting along great with him. People can separate their political beliefs from their friendship with other people. I, for one, have always done so As long as they don't push their ideas on me, I have no problem getting along.

  • With only a few exceptions…I have no problem admiring those of different political or religious beliefs for their talent and work ethic. If they’re successful at their chosen field more power to them.
