    He was brilliant in The Flight Of The Phoenix - a 60s classic of men crash landed and stuck in the desert with Kruger (an aeroplane builder**) as the man to fabricate a working plane to fly them out; fifty years old and still worth watching.

    **Not added to much, in case anyone wants to watch it!

    Absolutely!! Always came across as fairly 'deep' in his acting roles.I had a particular liking for his acting in 'the wild geese'.

    I have just put the film on again now and in 1st 5 minutes i realised just how many major actors from that era where in this movie that are no longer with us, today it would be like putting every A list actor in one movie and it being a blockbuster.

    James Stewart was the pilot, and in real life flew 20 bomber missions over Germany in WWII, and one over North Vietnam in 1966.

    For me, he was the stand-out actor in that stellar cast - Ian Bannen, who was brilliant in the original Tinker, Taylor TV series was pretty sensational too.

    Didn't he play the sniffling corporal who hated his commanding officer, Peter Finch, who is thought to be the father of one of Dame Shirley Bassey's two children. Now there's a weird connection.
