yes, right
the women, it's Julie Christie (the other Julie was in a different realm). The other key women were Rachel Roberts and Rita Tushingham.

yeah, Charlotte Rampling was a bit younger than them and Glenda Jackson was older but didn't break out in film till Women in Love

Can't forget Rachel Roberts being on The Tony Randall Show. Her bio is pretty sad. Sometimes confuse her with Wendy Craig.
Never "got" Rita Tushingham.
Weren't Caine and Finney roommates at one point? I know they were at least drinking buddies.

A DJ on WFMU semi-joked recently, before playing The Cure's "Boys Don't Cry," that "As with 98% of bands, their first song was their best song." So say Finney to me, and I think of SN&SM.Boys Don’t Cry was their third song, so I’m afraid you must switch your allegiance to Tom Jones

Caine and Stamp were roommates/ buddies, not Caine and Finney.

... they might have been drinking buddies though.
it's hard to say who wasn't a drinking buddy of Caine's.

Albert looked like he was partial to a tipple.

not on the O'Toole level, reportedly (who could be?)

malcolm macdowell is still active (tho he didn't really get started till 68: his scenes in poor cow ended on the cutting room floor)
dench was BIG on-stage in the 60s (RSC in particular) but not on-screen yet

I was kinda zeroing in on the Angry Young Men (or Brit new wave, to the extent there was one... McDowell emerged a decade after that started).

and obviously cinema more than the theatre
really had forgotten about or didn't know the Finney connections with Anderson and Leigh.

Shoot the Moon, what an extraordinary movie. Astonishing performances across the board. Such emotional intensity without ever becoming maudlin or ridiculous. Ordinary People is a joke compared to this movie. I kept thinking of Bergman throughout - the water, the clouds, the piano refrain, the emphasis on faces, but mostly how it sustains such a high emotional pitch without ever veering into pretension or sentimentality. It's unlike any other American domestic drama of its time I can think of.

I watched Shoot the Moon again last night recovering from a 24-hour stomach bug. Really, I almost threw up again.
