Great actor. My favorite movie with him will always be the spooky Don't Look Now (1973) with Julie Christie. Edit: originally had written the year as 1873!

That has got to be one of the earliest moving pictures of all time! Wow! /s sorry, think you have a typo! We're actually partial to 1971's Klute but that's because of an inside family story!

  Lol, yes Must be a fun story for sure. One of those movies that come to mind when one thinks of NYC in the 70s/post Moses-era

  Disappointed this is the single mention of Klute here.

M*A*S*H. Not for his performance, necessarily. It's just a great, fun movie. I'm watching it tonight.

Anyone wanting to watch this movie (which is great) just go into it cold. Be warned that there's a pretty extended sex scene, but otherwise just go in without expectations.

  > Be warned that there's a pretty extended sex scene, but otherwise just go in without expectations. I want to push back slightly against the idea that's an "extended sex scene", or even that it's a "sex scene" at all. It's one of the most beautiful sequences in all of cinema -- a grieving couple rediscovering intimacy and joy. The way it is intercut with them dressing, getting ready for dinner, the way you can see it brought happiness and affirmation and some sense that life is not over and love survived a terrible loss. It's central to the entire film: to why they are in Venice in the first place, to their commitment to each other, to their determined love for each other.

And at a full five minutes, it's a rather long scene :-) It's also one of the most notorious sex scenes in cinema from that era, with persistent rumors that Sutherland and Christie actually were doing the deed. But I think you wrongly inferred that the commenter was trying to dissuade people from watching the movie because of it. I interpreted it just as a fair warning, lest you think it might be a fun pick for family movie night with the kids and grandparents.

      > Also known as a "sex scene." And at a full five minutes, it's a rather long scene :-) It has almost nothing creatively in common with sex scenes in almost any other movie ever made, which are usually (lazily, and often misogynistically) used to cheaply bond the damsel to the hero. It's not a sex scene; it is fully and completely a love scene. I can think of so few like it. > It's also one of the most notorious sex scenes in cinema from that era, with persistent rumors that Sutherland and Christie actually were doing the deed. Persistent, infantile, somewhat misogynistic rumours.

Incredible that his career spanned 60+ years. When I saw him in _The Dirty Dozen_ it must've already been thirty years old. This got me curious about who had the longest career in Hollywood. Mickey Rooney came in near the top at 90 years. [0] [0] https://www.imdb.com/list/ls058627770/ https://www.imdb.com/list/ls058627770/

  True - although I don't understand the date discrepancy in that listing: > lived 1920-2014 • acted 1926-2016

    Could be a mistake or they're counting posthumous releases.

Don't Look Now is one of my favorite movies! So weird and spooky.

Don't Look Now is one of those unforgettable 1970s movies so ahead of their time, along with The Marathon Man and very few others. And it's spooky indeed, hard to bear if you've got a child. RIP
