I'm sure Widmark being a major pain in the arse was mentioned in the doc on the ABUS disc. Rich coming from a man who fought the African killer bees eh?

John Wayne almost throttled Widmark due to his arrogant behaviour on the set of The Alamo too. He wasn't known for his charm. |

Cushing, for me. Mainly because I think he was more versatile as an actor and would always give 100% whatever he was in, even if he knew it was a bad film! Lee has irked me in recent years with his attitude towards his Dracula films, even going as far as to refusing to even discuss them. Sad really - as Cushing, when he appeared on Parkinson in the early 80's, was full of enthusiasm for all his Hammer and horror films. A complete contrast to the arrogance of Lee. So yes, whilst I love Lee's work, Cushing just wins out for me. Nobody could've played Frankenstein as well and injected so much humanity into the role.

I'm sure in the past he's been happy to discuss Hammer and Dracula, but not so much these days. http://www.getreadytorock.com/featur...topher_lee.htm From that interview: Quote:
Now, don't get me wrong, I think he's a national treasure and I admire him immensely - partcularly, dare I say it, his portrayal of Dracula. He's a fine actor and I love his body of work, so no disrespect is meant in the slightest. However, like I said, it does irk me a bit his disparaging comments about Hammer - particularly his claims about Hammer virtually blackmailing him into appearing in some of the later Dracula movies.

Its a bit rich when you consider he would appear in walk-on's as Dracula in films like 'One more time' and 'The Magic Christian'.

It didn't stop him doing a DVD commentary for Hammer's later Scars Of Dracula either.

I'm sure once he sees the size of the check he remembers he likes talking about Drac.
