A very emotionally powerful movie! Ricky was outstanding!! I've followed his career since I 1st saw him in The Champ!
William Holden was amazing! William and Ricky grew very close during the production, enough that Rick and his Wife named one their kids Holden, in his memory! William was terminal with cancer, I think some of the scenes where he was hurting ,were real pain! dying of cancer is 2nd only to burning to death, as the most painful way to die!
10/10 go to William and Ricky equally!
