Watched all the spaghetti westerns and Rawhide as well back in the day. Clint was perfect for the role. Didn't know about Sergio being offered the director role for Godfather - that would have been interesting to see what he would have done with it compared to Coppola.
Gerry and the Pacemakers - wow that takes me back to 66 and 67 or thereabouts. Damn.
Cheers, Stuart.
