What's New
Director Ken Annakin recently died. In this interview originally published in Venice Magazine he was asked about working with Henry Fonda:
Q: In Battle of the Bulge you worked with three of my favorite actors: Henry Fonda, Robert Shaw and Robert Ryan. A: They were fine people to work with, and Hank Fonda of course, if I was asked what actor had I enjoyed working with at every moment and also respected so much, it would be Hank Fonda. I remember in that picture we were in Spain and we were shooting the tanks, I had 80 tanks under my command, and Hank was due to get into the shot where he jumps onto the tank and sees inside. I said 'Where in the hell is Hank?' My assistant said "Oh my god! I left him down there, and he said he'd wait for his call." I went down a mile and a half, and there was Hank standing outside, flapping his arms, trying to stay warm. I said 'This is an absolute disgrace this happened to you.' He said "These things happen on films. Just get me up there and let me do it." He was a generous, wonderful actor. And of course, he was able to make things very believable in the way that he acted.
