although 70 is a relatively old age...

*snort*, sitting here at almost 58, 70 looks 'younger' every year!

“Have you ever seen one of those B-52’s swoop down close to the ground under the radar. You can bet your sweet ass they will get there and deliver the payload”. You are right one of the all time great movies. So many good actors in that movie.

Wow!

I did not know Mr. Sarrazin was that old.

A great, laid back, under rated talent. Very similar to Jeff Bridges. Completely comfortable in any and every scene. Able to stand up and mesh seamlessly opposite George C. Scott in The Flim-Flam Man

James Coburn in the little known pick pocketing gem, Harry In Your Pocket and Paul Newman and Richard Jaeckel in Sometimes A Great Notion.

Yet, one of Mr. Sarrazin's first roles that caught my eye was an NBC Movie of the Week, Journey To Shiloh, with James Caan and a very young Harrison Ford.

Rest well, Michael.

Jack.

Going across kansas back in the mid 80s I was treated to my very own private airshow featuring about 10 B-52s flying N.O.E. in trail crossing the interstate.There was’nt another soul in sight and I had no camera.Damn,just damn.What a sight to be hold.
