Episode description

Sydney Pollack's 1969 surreal, eccentric war-time allegory, CASTLE KEEP, is our feature presentation this week. We discuss the weight of Vietnam War-era World War II films, the film's ties to the real life Amityville Horror murders, Burt Lancaster bringing Sydney Pollack onto the film, the incredible castle set piece, whether the film is anti-war or pro-war,  the eccentric cast of characters (including Bruce Dern, Peter Falk, Patrick O'Neal, Scott Wilson), and much much more. We also pick our TOP 7 WORLD WAR II FILMS in this week's SILVER SCREEN 7. Check out the show, subscribe, and become a regular here at The Broken VCR!
