Guys, I have no problem with you discussing whether Shenandoah was an anti-war film (it might be an interesting discussion), but this thread is not the place to do it. Feel free to start a thread to follow up the discussion, and I can even move the previous posts from this thread to a new one.

[quote=ColeThornton, 25 Sept, 1:09 AM]Yes, Marvin was only 42 and perfectly cast. Really it's just as well Duke did turn it down otherwise it might not have been as good.

You seem to have a little trouble making up your mind, Cole.
According to Gene Wilder's autobiography, John Wayne was offered the part of Tommy Lillard. Wayne was willing to take the role but was not able to get the $$ he needed.
Actor who got the part: Harrison Ford
This one surprises me, only because of the fairly large age difference between Duke and Harrison Ford - 25 years.
