What's better is that the music becomes a character of the movie, trasmitting the brutality and beauty of such a desolate place. Many knock Connery for playing a Berber with a Scots accent, but is it any worse than Alec Guinness playing Prince Faisal in "Lawrence of Arabia?" He plays the role with cruelty and charm in just the right balance. Apparently Faye Dunaway was considered for the role that eventually went to Candace Bergin...I can't imagine anyone else but Bergin playing her part now. Be sure to catch the special extra features on the DVD which shows the Terry Leonard's phenomenal stunt work and the special effects (yes, they really used dynamite in those days to blow up during the battle scenes...they can't do that now). A shame this movie got "lost" in 1975 once "Jaws" was introduced in theaters, so do yourself a favor and discover it now. |
