The John Wayne The Conqueror clip reminded of another stunningly bad casting in a period film, that of Tony Curtis in 1952's Son of Ali Baba; just as Wayne was unable to modify his vocal patios to match those of his fellow actors, who wer trying to impart some sense of place, so, too, did Curtis stand out with his his pronounced New York accent; one scene had the line "yonder is the palace of my father" which Curtis delivered as more like "yonda is da palace of my fadda"; he was wide ridiculed for years afterward, as was Wayne for his 'Cowboy Conqueror'; the criticism so stung Curtis, he made decided efforts to tone down his accent in later films; he did have a bit of 'accent revenge' in the film Some Like It Hot where he parodied the posh voice style of Cary Grant:

Very nice, laid back trailer for "Vanishing Point" 1971.

Good to see a new approach to this classic.

"Midnight in Paris"....I've seen it. A beautiful movie.

"La Belle Epoque" is always in the past...even if you're actually there.
