Such an amazing range. It was so fun to randomly happen upon his stint as a guest star on DYNASTY, playing a bellicose prosecuting attorney!
Looking forward to adding this to the end credits of my new film. Learn more: ai-free.io

Desperately needed a break from reality & WHAT A WAY TO GO! hit the spot. As one Letterboxd review put it, the premise is basically “What if CITIZEN KANE was about a smoking hot babe?” Shirley MacLaine is a goddess, and more than holds her own during a torrid dance number with Gene Kelly.
