Though both Redford and Streep had allegedly jumped at the chance of working together, their initial meeting was described as ‘unpromisingly polite, reserved and formal’. So it remained up until the first day of shooting when Michael Kitchen, cast as Finch Hatton’s safari partner, Berkeley Cole, broke the ice by explaining how he’d smuggled a package of 150 pairs of fifteen-dollar latex ears into Kenya to avoid its complex customs regulations. The ears were fitted daily to the extras playing the tribesmen as modern Kenyans no longer pierce and stretch their lobes as they did in 1914. ‘Ears?’ said Redford. ‘I thought you were bringing in the football.’ The next day he turned up with a football. When he started kicking it around between takes, Streep hitched up her period clothes and joined in. The show was on the road.

Detective casting: how have I not thought before now to suggest c.1990 Michael Kitchen in Granada Holmes? (he was in The Russia House about then if you wish a visual.)

I emitted a Strangled Noise, and must confess that the visual of Michael Kitchen in The Russia House lives in my mind's eye (that suit! the scheming! I love that movie. Anyway.)

I was thinking of the younger Cunningham in REIG, but think that he would have been too old for the part at the time (and too young for the elder.) So I think I would indulge and have Michael Kitchen as John "Killer Evans" Garrideb. Imagine the urbanity, the charm, the snarling, the intensity. Also:

...one received the impression of quite a young man with a broad set smile upon his face. His eyes, however, were arresting. Seldom in any human head have I seen a pair which bespoke a more intense inward life, so bright were they, so alert, so responsive to every change of thought.

@tvarchive‘s TV Appreciation Week, Day 1: TV show I wish everyone would watch

Foyle’s War | 2002-2015 | Starring Michael Kitchen and Honeysuckle Weeks

This show uses self-contained murder mysteries as an excuse to present a sophisticated social history of the WWII home front. It is full of beautiful footage of England’s south coast. It is a revolving door of British character actors, but also features some of your favorite leading men before they were famous. But the heart of the show is DCS Christopher Foyle, the perfect fantasy of a morally-pure police officer, pulling faces and looking great in a fedora. You won’t regret it.

I'm with you because I choose to be with you. I don't want to live someone else's idea of how to live. Don't ask me to do that. I don't want to find out one day that I'm at the end of someone else's life.
