Actually his career was still riding high at this point, but it did quickly go down the tubes. Wild Geese was another good film, I agree. Haven't seen it in quite awhile tho.
I too love this film. Richard Burton as an action star-who would believe that? But he was great. Eastwood if fine too, but it's Burton's film. I catch it every time it's on. The scenery, locations, etc-all incredible. Great film!
