William Holden was a bit old for the movie- Paul Newman would have been perfect.

Though it's Kim Novak in the lead, not Deborah Kerr :-) William Holden looked great but was getting a bit old for the role.

While you should feel lust for him, you should also feel pity. In the film, Holden was a bit too long in the tooth to be playing that character. In our beauty-obsessed era, every man on stage or film has an overdeveloped frame, even if the role doesn't call for it. Only mavericks like Bale, Gyllenhaal or what's his name from<br />"Dallas Buyers Club" have the gumption to transform their bodies to fit the role.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
