Burt Lancaster: Daring To Reach | The Hollywood Collection

[@jimtruscott5670]

I see Burt Lancaster as perhaps the greatest movie actor before Brando. He was a great natural talent who also worked hard at his parts. He played many diverse roles persuasively, seeming to be so in the character that he was the character. He played some roles with an almost scary intensity. He had amazing good looks which appealed to most women . He was loaded with masculine charisma. He was the total package.

[@zuzellogan5613]

Burt Lancaster was an icon in Hollywood. He had the looks and the brain to perform in movies. He was a brilliant actor who could play any role, and was a very handsome, macho, masculine man with a beautiful smile. God bless his soul always because men like Burt, it is hard to find. They don’t make them anymore which is sad, and Burt Lancaster was unique, talented, charismatic, versatile actor who is irreplaceable. Love the video, it is awesome 👏. Thank you for sharing it.

Even the most hardliner of American supremacists never considered John Wayne to be a superior artist, and nowhere in comparison to Burt Lancaster atleast. The guy was a star right from his debut in THE KILLERS, earned accolades from the Academy, the Berlin Film Festival, Venice Film Festival, founded America's most successful independent star driven production company(with Harold Hetch & Hill), overshadowed Katherine Hepburn in THE RAINMAKER and held his ground against his own idol Spencer Tracy in JUDGEMENT AT NUREMBERG, all within the first 20 years of his career. Unfortunately, his liberal beliefs at the height of the Cold War cost him deserved Oscar nominations in TRAPEZE, SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS and even VERA CRUZ(alongside his other idol Gary Cooper). But Lancaster was everything any cinematic legend would've desired and envied.

I used to love watching Burt's movies as a kid. He always exuded a quiet strength, a strength that came from a good place. He made you feel that with people like him in the world that things would always turn out right. If ever you got in a tight spot then Burt is the guy you would want with you, and if he wasn't there, then you could always try to do what you thought he might do. I wanted to be a man like Burt and I can't pay him a bigger compliment than that.

One of my favorite actors ever. Burt Lancaster not only pushed the envelope in every film project he did, he even licked the stamps before sending the envelope COD! He's hardcore like that, and became better and better as an actor and a person, challenging himself and his audience so that we can be better too in our own lives. He could do a tough guy action film like Scorpio, then do an episode on Sesame Street on the side, because he believed in children even while doing grownup stuff. He was one of a kind. And despite this being the year 2020, his kind is still out there. There is a little bit of old buddy Burt...in all of us, if we dig deep inside. RIP to a legend, and one of the most decent men ever to push the envelope of what's creatively possible.

"The Leopard" is one of the greatest films of all time. Some of Burt's best roles are his film noir series. "The Swimmer" is one of my favorites, because it was such a fun short story by John Cheever, one of my favorite writers. No one expected it, but Burt pulled it off, to high acclaim, and it's still a classic a lot of people refer to. He's definitely one of my favorite actors. Every film described here, I've seen, and a lot thanks to KZbin and Amazon Prime. When I lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico, there was a fantastic little theater - Plan B - that had a summer film noir series, and that's when I saw more of Burt - playing intriguing characters shrouded in mystery. He tackled every genre, from the ridiculous to the sublime. PS. This "Collection" series is a blast. Can't thank you enough for your contribution to our lives.

Speaking of Newman, I really liked Buffalo Bill and the Indians, also with Burt Lancaster. I realize the film didn't light up the sky, but it's so worth a viewing. It has been reassessed, over the years and has garnered much deserved appreciation. Not that, that matters, since I enjoy it regardless. It was directed by my favorite director, Robert Altman, and has two of my favorite actors, Paul and Burt. Also with Harvey Keitel, Geraldine Chaplin, Joel Gray... the western myth making of Buffalo Bill gets turned on it's ear, as only Altman can do. Not as great as McCabe and Mrs. Miller, but damned credible.

typo: 'ensure'. i meant 'sinatra'.

[@Celluloidwatcher]

There were quite a few actors who should have gotten Oscars in From Here to Eternity, but Frank Sinatra's Oscar for Best Supporting Actor gave his singing career a rebirth, of sorts. Anyway, I agree that either Lancaster or Montgomery Clift could have gotten that gold statue, for sure. Of course, Donna Reed, as Alma, the prostitute, won for Best Supporting Actress. Deborah Kerr's officer's wife was a bit impressive, including that memorable beach side kiss with Lancaster. It was, probably, her sexiest role ever in her career.

I loved his films, Apache was great and so was The Train, loved the train.

I remember seeing Burt Lancaster in the movie the swimmer, Elmer Gantry From Here to Eternity excetera excetera and when I think back of the old movies he really does stand out. Undeniably impactful very pleasant to the eye admirable character a walking inspiration he had that authenticity like you see that of Gregory Packer Elvis Presley or Clark Gable or Jack Lemmon or Walter Matthau give me the features of these men in the attractiveness attributes authenticity to their own uniqueness is what stands out

Ahead of his time in time of all times! A man of all movie seasons. Many Hollywood movie stars avoided movies that included issues on race and new politics!! Lancaster was a phenom!! A great actor and a great man!

I admire this man very much. A role-model. Everything said in this dedication video is perfect! Thanks!

[@susanwallace2258]

"Field of Dreams" one of his most iconic movies--and his last--wasn't even mentioned. :'( I am watching it--and him--tonight! Such a special man and actor!!!

[@emmalancaster2013]

I loved that sweet little film “Local Hero.” One of his last films and even though Burt’s role is small, it’s one of my favorite of his films. It is almost impossible to find on video - I have looked, and the prices are astronomical. I hope to see it again.

I hunted this documentary down after watching 'the kentuckian' and finally realizing how exceptional he was.

[@marydenise7217]

The series is wonderful. I lived in the period that you presented those were the days.

[@bettyburke8653]

Always loved him
