I find Sterling Hayden a fascinating actor and a fascinating man. As an actor, he has a quality - like many of the most interesting actors - of sometimes seeming to not be acting at all, or even to not know how to act, and then he'll just take off - like his bravura scenes in Doctor Strangelove - and completely blow you away. And I think I find him even more interesting as a person. And as a writer. His autobiography, Wanderer, is one of the most brilliant, memorable books I've ever read. Nothing like any kind of a movie star memoir, the writing is completely audacious and sometimes shockingly, personally honest. Told in flashback and flashforward, with a recklessly poetic use of language and bold shifts in tense - and from first person, to second, to third - he tells his story in the context of his experiences of the great masted sailboats - the great passion of his life - and his constant longing for that life, a life of ships and the ocean. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, even to those, like me, who have no interest in boats or sailing; it's a book that deserves to be better known. (Of course, he was also really good looking.)

What can I write about this film that hasn't already been said? One of the most celebrated films of all time... Nominated for eleven Oscars... Marlon Brando won the Best Actor award, but turned it down in protest of the depiction of Native Americans in films and on television. Nino Rota won the Best Score award, only to have it revoked as he had previously used some similar refrains in a previous film! It would be followed by The Godfather Part 2 in 1974 and The Godfather Part 3 in 1990.
