One more comment about BRUTE FORCE. One of the men who shares a cell with Burt Lancaster is actor John Hoyt.
Now, I've seen John Hoyt in films and television shows for decades, and always thought he was a a wonderful actor - commanding, authorative, even sneaky and devious when the situation called for it. But I never thought of him as a sex symbol or even a man who would have had a decent body at all. At one point during the film as the men are getting ready for bed, Hoyt has his pajama top on part of the way. The body he displays practically made me gasp for air!
If I remember to bring it back upstairs tonight when I log back on after evening viewing, I'll do a frame capture and show you what I'm talking about. Those who know who he is will be equally amazed, I think.
