Garandomatic Posted March 8, 2014 Share #231 Posted March 8, 2014 Robert Stack in 1941, as posted above was a darned good facsimile. I think I read where they asked John Wayne to play the part, but he refused because he didn't find much funny about the era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted March 8, 2014 Share #232 Posted March 8, 2014 Robert Stack in 1941, as posted above was a darned good facsimile. I think I read where they asked John Wayne to play the part, but he refused because he didn't find much funny about the era. Also Charlton Heston was offered the role, he turned it down for the same reasons, but Stack was a great cast, not only did he look like him, buthis performace as Stilwell was humorous, I love the theater scene where he's thoughly enjoying Dumbo, and tearful in that one part, and his irritation when he's disturbed by someone in watching it, "You Down in Front" I read somewhere years ago that Heston on seeing the film when it was released like it, and didn't think it bad at all, or unpatrotic etc, no real foul cursing etc,, he likened it to a good old fashion comedy romp.

Garandomatic Posted March 8, 2014 Share #234 Posted March 8, 2014 It has to be one of my all-time favorites, personally. I was about 8 when I first saw it, shortly after reading about Pearl Harbor and seeing the Sentimental Journey for the first time. Ironically, it was the Sentimental Journey, doctored into an earlier model B-17 in the film! I bet my teacher wondered what the hell was wrong with me... I remember we had to write in our journals about something. I wrote about 1941, and how sad I was (in the 2nd grade) that John Belushi had died some 6 years earlier. I WAS Wild Bill Kelso on the playground when I wasn't busy sinking Japanese shipping from a particular piece of playground equipment that sort of had a conning tower.
