A Night At The Movies


Richard Harris proves to be the greatest method actor of all time. In Man in the Wilderness he plays a man mauled by a bear. Outdoing Daniel Day Lewis, Harris actually let the bear maul him. This movie is not fiction, it is a documentary of Richard Harris lying in the dirt for six months and healing himself. Once filming had been completed and he was back in tip top shape, Harris killed Peggy the Bear with his power move, poison booze breath. I dare Hollywood to churn out a man like this again.

Perhaps Xtina said it best, "Ain't no other man..." I fear they broke the mold when they minted Richard Harris.
