And in the jousting tournament of LANCELOT… we are being “directed” as rigorously as in any Hitchcock showpiece: there are few other action sequences in all cinema that create as much anticipation and excitement.
~ Jonathan Rosenbaum
Psycho (1960.)
Lancelot du Lac (1974.)
"It's funny, I wonder why we like being praised. There's no money in it. Fame? How famous could we get? He became famous: now he's known to three. Maybe four if you count Bayliss. Aren't humans absurd? I suppose we like praise for its own sake."
~R. H. Noonan in ROADSIDE PICNIC.
Never forget that Borden Chase - boxer, sailor, mob chauffeur & our favorite writer of Westerns (Red River, Vera Cruz, Bend of the River) - has a cocktail named after him:
2 oz. Scotch
½ oz. sweet vermouth
¼ oz. Pernod
dash of orange bitters
Stir. Strain. No garnish.
