>> we've got tom.

character. >> paul new man came out of the 1950s as one of the top leading men in hollywood. there was an oscar nomination for cat on a hot tin roof" from 1958. he also looked like paul new man. could he have been in any movie he wanted to be in. >> i'm the best you ever seen. i'm the best there is. >> he had everything. he comes from the actor's studio. a major star on broadway. charisma on screen. he was the hustler. you can't get better than that. >> that man shoot a great game of pool. >> so do you, fast eddie. >> that wide screen black and white with him and jackie gleason and george c. scott was something so unique at that time. a character piece that way. >> joe. i just hope for your saking that this house is on fire. >> i'm sorry to roust you out but we've got trouble at the

ranch. >> you got trouble right here, bub. >> in hud, he was supposed to be kind of a shallow damaged character and he was playing that to the hilt and particularly dealing with the darkside of things. >> you don't look out for yourself, the only helping hand you'll ever get is when they lower the box. >> "hud" is a kind of commentary on where you end up if you buy into the myth of the western hero. you end up with a guy who drinks too much, has no respect for women,s who's masculine in the divorce sense of the term yet hud is attractive to us because he's played bid paul new man. >> in cool hand luke, new man clearly is a figure of the counter culture movement. rebelling against authority. >> lay down, luke. he's just going to knock you down again, buddy. >> circumstance hasn't made luke a criminal. >> stay down. >> it's almost his choice. >> you're going to have to kill

me. >> or his refusal to do what's expected of him. >> don't you ever talk that way to me. >> the warden in the film is played by strother martin. it's one of the great ten-line performances in movies. >> what we've got here failure to communicate. >> and it really feels like a '60s line where you know, just in one moment, kids and adults could see the generation gap and see each other on the other side. >> sorry, luke. just doing my job. you got to appreciate that. >> ah. calling it your job don't make it right, boss. >> i still think he's the last of the old movie stars when he starts the '60s, he's up against the likes of carry grant and john wayne and marlon brando and by the end of the '60s, he's up against the likes of steve mcqueen and sean connery. and for mcqueen, i think new man was sort of a target.

>> the great escape is as good a primper of war movie as your you're going to get. a great ensemble cast but anchored by steve mcqueen. >> by morning i'm going to be so far away you couldn't hear it if they were shooting at me with howitzers. >> he's not a big guy like john wayne but he had a quality of believability. you believed that he was tough, wiry, resourceful. >> wasn't it awhile ago the studios prohibited you doing any racing while you were actually in production? >> shh. >> i see all kinds of executive looking people sanding around with their fingers crossed. >> they're being nice to me on this film. >> steve mcqueen is the man. >> to know that he could drive those cars, coride those motorcycles made him the modern kind of movie star hero. >> he didn't call himself the king of cool but it's clear why

he got the nickname. when he dresses up in the thomas crown affair it was cool. the way he plays cards in the cincinnati kid he was cool. when he dresses down in "bullet" he was cool. he couldn't help it. >> bullet has the perfect mcqueen moment, somebody's following him. he figures it out. he doesn't try to escape which is what anybody would do. instead he turns the car around and he starts chasing them. that's steve mcqueen. >> there are car chases before in movies and never a car chase like "bullet." you know at that point where phil hickman the other driver clips in his seat belt, the audience is like okay, here we go. it's like a masterpiece of action cinema. i can never go to san francisco and see those hills without thinking of that mustang taking those turns.

>> it's the most famous car chase in all of movies. but that secondary to me to the feeling of i just want to look at this story in this city with this guy leading me through. the whole movie is really about mcqueen and his persona. >> i admire your currently, mr. >> french. sylvia trench. i admire your luck. mr.? >> bond, james bond. >> if you grew up in the '60s it's hard for you not to identify with bond. he was like i'm kicking ass, i'm taking names, i'm making equips, i got your girl. >> did you say you had to leave? >> immediately. >> so when the first james bond film was made, a lot of risks were taken. and sean connery was one of those. >> james, where on earth have you been? i've been searching london for you. >> ian flemming and others were not super confident about connery in that role.

but the audience reception really proved that connery could pull off bond. >> one thing i read about you said you weren't living up to your image. >> they pay the fines if i live up to the image. >> sean connery was so handsome, there's a kind of naughty fun just to his smile and you felt as though you didn't need to know him. you weren't asking for an internal performance from him. he was somebody you could project a fantasy on. >> my friends call me tanya. >> mine call me james bond. >> james bond is created during the cold war by ian fleming and in cold war terms, james bond is everything that the russians are not. and that becomes a kind of subliminal appeal. >> take it easy, 007. fire escape only for one. >> in from russia with love, there's a fight inside a train car that connery has with robert shaw. and it is in a tiny confined

space and it is brutal. and connery could always get this look on his face like i'm not going to make it out of this room alive. and that's something that is absolutely essential to an action star. >> gold fingering is when it becomes a super spy film. it has the fantastic cal elements that kind of bond really starts to lean into. we're in fort knox. there are women pilots that are very sexy and you have a hench man who has a hat that can be cut off your head if thrown at you like a frisbee. everything about "gold finger" informs the rest of the franchise. >> do you expect me to talk? >> no, mr. bond. i expect you to die. >> bond never dies. no matter what happens from decade to decade, bond manages to reinvent himself to achieve new forms of relevance.

"the misfits." >> how do you could. >> to see gable try to hold his own with a lot of legendary method actors, eli wall lack and clift and marilyn monroe, a different gable shows up to make that movie and kind of loved that. >> you just said he was about to give it to her. >> i sell to dealers only.

that's all they're looking to buy is a horse. >> i was just wondering who you think you've been talking to since we met. >> there's something rough about that movie. visceral moments, such that you almost feel it's documentary that you're out in the desert with the mustangs. >> finish. it's like roping a dream now. i got to find another way to be alive, that's all. >> that was gable's last film. that's got a very kind of elijiac feeling to it. the end to the traditional movie west is coming and this film is kind of a monument to that. >> how many of you did they hire? >> enough. >> the western becomes dark by the end of classical hollywood. you see such a change in the united states culture and i think the western shows that. >> these films take a more psychological look at the

western mold. >> what did you say his name was? the man with the silver-knobbed whip. >> i said liberty valance. but if that's what you got to do, you better start packing a handgun. >> a gun? i don't want a gun. i don't want to kill him. i want to put him in jail. >> oh. >> the man who shot liberty valance is john ford's last great western. yet, it's so different than what preceded. >> pilgrim, you have to cock it first. >> i forgot. >> i see it almost as a book end to stagecoach because stagecoach introduces the john wayne character as a young vibrant outlaw. and at man who shot liberty valance comes back to an older perhaps wiser john wayne character who still has a code. but is much more cynical about the world. >> you put that paper out the

streets of shin bone are going to be running with blood. >> the man who shot liberty valance someone described it recently as the greatest american political film. it's about how rerewrite history to fit our mythic needs. >> john wayne actually kills can liberty valance. jimmy stewart gets credit and becomes false and soon after that, wayne is forgotten. >> who was tom donovan? >> eventually stewart tells it the truth and the newspaper man rips up the story and says one of the most famous lines in american film. >> this is the west, sir. when the legend becomes fact, print the legend. >> he's right. >> westerns are cut and dried. good guy wins at the end. it's always for the benefit. there are no regrets and this is john ford, the man who created an the myth of the movie western as much as anyone. questioning it. saying well maybe, the march of civilization, maybe it wasn't all good.

maybe qualities of humanity were the lost, maybe kinds of people were lost they were better having around today. >> nothing's too good for the man who shot liberty valance. >> this movie is like liberty valance. good guy is not necessarily the good guy anymore. this becomes heightened with the genre throughout the '60s. >> leone kind of turns the western on his ear and because he was italian they became known as spaghetti westerns even though most of them were shot in in spain. >> his big mistake i think was getting born. >> sergio lyon took the syntax of the western gun fights, the empty streets. >> get three coffins ready and raised it up not surface and dropped out everything else.

>> there was no culture, there was no society. there was no mores. you know, it was minimalist. >> my mistake. >> and clint eastwood fit perfectly into that. he was the man with no name. >> according to the powers vested in us. >> the western's forever changed with the sound tracks. his approach to using music to kind of punctuate the theme and tone of the film. >> he had done his score before they shot the movie and so in the graveyard sequence at the end of "the good, the bad and the ugly" on the day they can hear the score that we as an audience are hearing. if you did that just silent, i think actors would start to wonder what's happening. when you play the marconi music, now you're in an opera and it changes their performances.

>> marconi's music and the use of close-ups combined to really punctuate emotion and thinking. and the close-ups get closer and closer and closer to the acts' faces till you just see their eyes and it starts to move more frenetically as where's the gold, who is going to shoot first? >> okay. open up in there. >> butch, you know that if it were my money, there is nobody that i would rather have steal it than you. >> butch cassidy and the sundance kid is a counter culture western. there's never a moment when you're not rooting for the bad guys in this movie. >> it hit a nerve i think, unexpectedly. it hit some kind of nerve that had to do with outlaws and the outlaw sensibility. >> think there's enough dynamite there, butch. >> it's hard to find a film as fun and funny and wry and

clever. newman and redford were the perfect couple. >> i think we lost them. do you think we lost them? >> no. >> neither do i. >> paul and i had to connect as characters. so we spent a lot of time together and the more time we spent together, the fonder we became of each other. and he and i became really good friends. >> we're done. he's dead. you're welcome to stay. >> listen, i don't mean to be a sore loser but if i'm dead, kill him. >> love to. >> redford's supposed to be the fastest gun in all the west and newman is a very funny sar donic leader of the gang, butch cassidy. >> no, not yet. not till me and harley get the rules straightened out. >> rules? in a knife fight? no rules. >> if there ain't going to be any rules, someone get the fight started. count one two, three, go.

>> one, two, three, go. >> it's a relationship movie and best defined in that movie where they're being chased. there's nowhere to go. they're on the edge of a cliff and there's a raging river below. it's so clear that the odds of them surviving are pretty much none. >> i'll jump first. >> no. >> you jump first. >> no, i said. >> what's the matter with you? >> i can't swim. >> it's a great dynamic. >> are you crazy? the fall will probably kill you. >> the movie just works. >> and westerns will stay around despite lean times because they're so central to our idea of what the country is. in one western after another, these human figures are placed on this vast canvas. and in that genre, you can tell any kind of story you want.
