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.

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.
