Charlton Heston recalls near miss on stardom at Asheville theater
The actor spoke at a luncheon with five movie editors about choosing security over fame early in his career. He described turning down steady $100 weekly work in Asheville in 1947 to pursue cinema and later winning fame with Midway and Earthquake. He discussed research habits, a shift to fictional roles, and opinions on War films and tech.

Carlo Ponti blends spaghetti western and kung fu cinema with Lee Van Cleef and Lo Lieh in The Stranger and the Gunfighter. The pairing provides some chemistry and entertaining action but the tone is campy and the plot thin with poor dubbing and weak production values.
