let's not forget gunfight at OK corral.
I had forgotten "Gunfight at OK Corral", which has always been one of my favorite Westerns with Lancaster and Douglas together.
However, I thought Val Kilmer's performance in "Tombstone" was the ultimate Doc Holliday. In fact, I thought he deserved an Oscar for that role. Not only that but Kurt Russell wasn't half bad as Wyatt either.
I always liked Burt in The Train
That's another of my favorite Lancaster films. I also really like him in "The Rainmaker", where he was his ebullient best.
I bought a boxed set of Lancaster movies not long ago, which included "Jim Thorpe, All American". That was another good Lancaster film, I thought.
Burt was near the top of my list of favorite movie stars. Though he and Kirk Douglas broke into Hollywood prominence about the same time, I always liked Burt best. "From Here To Eternity" was always one of my favorites too.
I can almost guarantee y'all would like "The Devil's Disciple" with Burt, Kirk Douglas and Laurence Olivier, a delightful little comedy set during the time of the American Revolution.
Burt is at his Lancaster best in this film. I don't think it's available on disc - I bought a tape and then recorded it to DVD.
I don't think that Duke and Lancaster had any interaction with each other. And their acting styles were different.
Not only their acting styles - their politics were 180 degrees apart also. Although we know of some instances where Wayne both acted and was directed by people who were his ideological opposites, so politics may not have had anything to do with their failure to get together.
Another actor who I have always liked, particularly in westerns, is Burt Lancaster.
"Ulzana's Raid" and "Lawman" were two of my favorite westerns. I didn't much care for "Vera Cruz".
