    Robert Shaw lived a long while here in Ireland and died here ultimately. About 5 years ago, Richard Dreyfus was doing a Play in Dublin and appeared on the big TV talk show where he was introduced to Shaw's grandchildren in Ireland. After the difficulties between them working on Jaws, Dreyfus said it was so cathartic to meet his family and wept like a baby with them on the show, because he had never had the chance to resolve his differences with Shaw. It was quite a moment.

      Not quite true. He lived in Ireland at the time; he was driving with his wife and one of his children in the car, felt unwell, thank God pulled over to the side of the road, got out, collapsed and died on the spot. It's in his Wikipedia page.

    I highly recommend the movie discussed here, ‘Young Winston’ (1972) which is on DailyMotion. All star cast, directed by Attenborough, big budget swashbuckler! And it’s based on Churchill’s book “My early life” so it’s historically accurate, unlike modern fictional crap.
    The actor who plays Churchill (Simon Ward) looks and sounds exactly like him. It’s the best ever portrayal of Churchill, and it should have scooped the Oscars.

      I have seen it a few times on Turner Classic. It is a great portrayal, especially the Commons speech at the end and how Loyd George was already trying to get him to switch parties. Had some young co-worker call him a filthy imperialist when his statue was under attack a couple years ago. I told him he was in the liberal party for almost 15 years. He didn't believe me and looked it up to his shock. Asked why he didn't know that and I said because his so-called educators failed him.

    “Anyway, we delivered the bomb!”
    Always a surprise to hear Robert Shaw’s real voice and accent isn’t it? Very interesting man. Compare his lack of ego and ‘ON’ performance with the American guest Jack Kaufman, and the likes of Richard Harris who was also notorious for his displays of misogyny, which Shaw does not do.
    A truly great and believable actor who did not get as many of the roles he deserved. Was any character better written, cast, directed or portrayed than Quint in Jaws? And has anyone ever delivered a more compelling monologue?

    • @pp312
