The Wild Bunch is one of many films that has influenced Quentin Tarantino. The opening of Pulp Fiction references this film's credits using freeze-frames. #Holden100#TCMParty#ThisLooksFilmiliar
"The prince of all. He was the nicest man you could ever want to work with or have things to do with. He was a gentleman. He was a wonderful man" - Ernest Borgnine to @alancinephile about William Holden in an interview at Noir City San Francisco in 2010 #Holden100#TCMParty
I think this is one of Holden's best performances. It's also heartbreaking. Pike Bishop knows he's outlived his time, but still hopes for an ending he won't regret. #Holden100#TCMParty
William Holden's Pike Bishop potent mix of idealism+cynicism in Peckinpah's brilliant THE WILD BUNCH (1969). Lee Marvin originally signed for part but chose Western musical PAINT YOUR WAGON (1969) for more $$. Hard to imagine #LeeMarvin and #ClintEastwood in the softer Western...

During the production of Golden Boy, William Holden practiced the violin for almost 2 hours each night so the scenes where he was playing violin would look convincing. #Holden100
After Golden Boy, William Holden found success but had a modest attitude toward it all. In a biography special, producer A.C. Lyles recalls Holden looking at the marquee saying, "I always want to be William Beedle, I want to keep the two as far apart as I can." #Holden100

@FisherBurton The world weariness in Pike's eyes, as he builds up the resolve to do this one last, hard thing, is a wonder to behold. It's William Holden achieving everything possible, from everything he is, or ever was.
Happy New Year to everyone who like myself loved William Holden. This is the anniversary year of his centennial and we are planning lots of celebrations ... on TV and elsewhere. I will keep you posted ... stay tuned.
