Clint van Gogh

Hattip to Dave Griffey at Daffey Thoughts.

Ah, what a spaghetti impressionist movie might have been!

Not as unlikely as it might now seem.  Kirk Douglas starred in many westerns and in 1956 he played Van Gogh in Lust for Life with Anthony Quinn, another veteran of westerns, as Paul Gaughin.  Clint achieved fame just a bit too late.

Love this image. “Clint achieved fame just a bit too late.” Great director and just kept getting better. 91 and still creating great movies- it’s a good example of “age is nothing but a number.” Gran Torino is a favourite “you kids get off my lawn”. Million Dollar Baby disappointed only because of the whole compassionate death/euthanasia theme…
