Forgotten Cinema

Witness


Listen Later

Butler and Field are giving up the conveniences of modern life to hide out amongst the Amish as they discuss Witness starring Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis, directed by Peter Weir.

Listen in as Mike Field and Mike Butler talk about the screenplay to Witness that is often considered one of the greatest screenplays ever written. They'll also debate the performance of Lukas Haas as Samuel and whether the quiet unemotional performance of this child actor was a purposeful choice, or just because he is a child actor. Field and Butler will go over other facts about the production of the film, and alternate lead actors who could have taken Ford's place. Amish Rocky Balboa anyone? And of course, the Mikes discuss the power, presence, and grandeur of the "Ford Finger."

So grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits to the left and right of you, and settle down for Forgotten Cinema
