We remember Gregory Peck who was born in California in 1916 and died in 2003.
Has anyone seen "Behold a pale horse"? It is a 1964 movie about the Spanish Civil War.
The story is based on "Killing a mouse on Sunday" a book by Emeric Pressburger. I have not read the book but plan to check it out.
It is the story of Manuel Artiguez, a veteran of the Civil War, who returns from exile in France to see his ill mother. He is confronted by Sr. Vinolas, a police chief who sets a trap to arrest him.
The movie includes Gregory Peck as Artiguez, Anthony Quinn as Vinolas and Omar Sharif as the local priest.
It is a bit slow but very interesting. I love these black and white films because they used choreography in such a unique way. Also, the dialogue is very intense. Frankly, the story could be difficult for someone not familiar with the Spanish Civil War of the late 1930's.
