20th Century Fox and Warner Bros were one of the first to co produce a major film.
The Towering Inferno is et atop a century city skyscraper on the old 20th back lot. Exciting film.
Irwin Allen was producer of this film a giant hit when released. Star studded with William Holden re united with his Love Is A Many Splendored Thing co star Jennifer Jones but in this film Fred Astaire not Holden is the object of Jennifer's attention. Also starring Richard Chamberlain, Robert Wagner, Faye Dunaway, Fred Astaire and in small role Scott Newman son of the nominal star Paul Newman.
Steve McQueen an original and sorely missed superstar had a supporting role in one of Paul Newman's earlier films and demanded top billing on this film which Newman granted. Steve McQueen it has been reported not only wanted the exact amount of lines Newman had but wanted one more to say he was the unquestioned star of the film.
Faye Dunaway is the nominal female star of the film but Jennifer Jones captured my attention by her fine acting and pivotal role. and Jennifer not Faye was nominated for a Golden Globe.
John Guillerman the Director was also at the helm of one of my favorite George Peppard films PJ

Anthony Mann a good Director helms this western a remake of the great Irene Dunne hit Cimarron. The story is well known: The great land Rush opening up the Western United States.
Maria Schell so beautiful was given a great promotion by MGM in a film that Elizabeth Taylor would have been perfect. Anne Baxter steals the movie and is wonderful.
Great MGM production values.
Glenn Ford was a very popular leading man in the mid 50's to early 60's making many fine films. I never was a big Glenn Ford fan and this film should have starred Steve McQueen or perhaps even George Peppard then a young MGM contract player.

Warner Bros released this fine World War II Movie which I enjoyed a lot.
The Cast is very fine indeed with stalwart film work from a cast of professionals such as Robert Ryan, Dana Andrews and Ty Hardin among many other fine actors. The real fine acting is done by one of the finest actors ever in my estimation ever go grace the great silver screen Mr. Henry Fonda.
Congratulations to all for their work on this fine fine film and I recommend this movie to film buffs of the Military and the great men who fought for the ideals of America in The Battle Of The Bulge.
