loon and Jack Wilson
played by... golly...
RR: Jack Palance...
JLB: Oh gosh. Jack
Palance is really a
scary guy. And he's
sitting there with a
dead stub of a cig-
arette in his mouth.
Roll your own. And
that coffee that
he's been drinking
through two hours,
he never drinks al-
cohol because he's a
killer. Okay, Shane
walks in and how
does Shane put it? He
said, "I think you're a
no good damn Yan-
kee liar." Jack P says,
"I wouldn't push it, cowboy." And then suddenly the gun comes
outta the holster and Wilson is dead. He falls backwards and all
these crates fall on his head. He's buried in three seconds. There's
no falling out a window, no blood splatter...
RR: No glamor.
JLB: It's five seconds after his last threat. Pow, that's it. But then
the little boy gets there with the dog. That is a sad film. That voice
rolling, the way they put that echo on his calling out to him... The
effect it has on me every time, it's like something is lost, but you
don't know what it is because the war has
been won. Some kind of hole that's there,
and I still don't know what the hole is. But
the little boy knows it.
RR: Well thank you so much!
JLB: Take care, sir. Thank you.
