Best of all time. He never used props, doubles or computer enhanced anything. He was a professional atleta circus acrobat. Also a prolific lifelong reader. Intelligent, handsome, great voice, well read, he had it ALL.
Haven't watched yet,....this cast compells me to get 🍺 and some snacks....it's cloudy and very chilly in New Jersey today,...this is gonna be a treat 🍿🎥
Ambition, vengance, greed, spies, traitors, fights, romance, music, torture, killings, drinks, cigarretes, a treasure map, dogs, horses, dunes and of course: diamonds😂... but a great cast indeed🎉
Lancaster apparently thought little of the film and was eager to move on to more serious projects. Considering the casting of Henreid, Rains, and Lorre, plus the "tough guy" motif, I wonder if Bogart was considered for the lead at any point? Just speculation, but seems like his type of film (he did SAHARA, after all, so he's used to the desert). Not enough Lorre here for my tastes, and Mike Mazurki disappears after a couple of minutes. BTW, the original film script is for sale, if you google "rope of sand original screenplay 1949" for the details.
Lancaster died at 80 of a heart attack, Rains at 77 of cirrhosis of the liver, Henreid at 84 of pneumonia, and Lorre at 59 from a stroke. Jaffe died at 93 of prostate cancer. Calvert died at 76 of an intracerebral hemorrhage. But I get your point!
Burt is one of the best actors of his time. Thanks for sharing this gem.

Sorry, and thanks for the visit!
Boy, I wonder how many of these actors/actresses died of either throat cancer and lung cancer with all that smoking.
Lancaster died at 80 of a heart attack, Rains at 77 of cirrhosis of the liver, Henreid at 84 of pneumonia, and Lorre at 59 from a stroke. Jaffe died at 93 of prostate cancer. Calvert died at 76 of an intracerebral hemorrhage. But I get your point!
I hear you. Thanks for watching.
Miss Calvert looks like a Rita Hayworth wannabe. She doesn't have Hayworth's lovely perfection .
Bert Lancaster looks his very best here.
