#1 Trivia Q: in what 1964 movie did Ronald Reagan give Angie Dickinson the back of his fist?

Clue: the director went on to make several successful movies with Charles Bronson until Bronson refused to work with him again, after calling him, "the worst liar in the world."

#2 My recollection is that it was called The Killers or The Murderers. Reagan didn't like it because it was the only movie in which he portrayed a heavy, let alone hitting a woman. Bronson was also actually drunk out of his mind in the filming of the last scene. It can be debated whether or not it improved his performance. Great cast in the movie of actors who would go on to make a fortune in TV.

1964. I'm sure something good happened that year, but I can't remember what it was.

#3 OK, now I'm cheating.

Bronson was replaced by Lee Marvin and it was he who was drunk as a skunk. Others were John Cassavetes, Clu Gallagher, Claude Aikens, Norman Fell and Nancy Wilson. Ronnie got lowest billing amongst the stars with Marvin at the top.

#4 yep. Siegel made some pretty damn good movies, including a bunch with Clint Eastwood, and The Shootist (a fine film) - John Wayne's last, IIRC. Even Telefon was good, Bronson drunk or not
