which is how jack ryan & the redhaired musical warrior doctor & her bold daughter & all their various doppelgangers got tangled into the mythos from the start , incl but not limited to richard sharpe & patrick harper & teresa moreno
but that isnt the all if it by long leagues
bc one of the stars of ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE REVOLUTION was rod steiger
who played the corsican emperor of france in that great russian WATERLOO i sometimes rant abt in the twists of this maze
against none but christopher plummer - & theres the trek connection going far back before it ever happened , b4 gates mcfadden played a redhaired doctor whose place was filled by anne archer as the badass lady fighting her doppelganger in a clash of empires in the sequel to RED OCTOBER
i saw the chain but not its first link -not being a westerns fan nor a film scholar nor critic
but i see how a n 18th c british supernatural novel abt italian nobles FITS into a GUERNICA-referencing story of the spanish civil war by a contemporary mexican dramatist now
- You are weird.
- I am?
- Yeah, you are. You look like you walked out of another century. You play baseball like Babe Ruth. You talk like you’re from another planet.
- Thanks for the compliment.

Rod Steiger and Marlon Brando in “On the Waterfront” (1954)
- “Charley, it was you. You remember that night in the Garden you came down to my dressing room and said, ‘Kid, this ain’t your night. We’re goin’ for the price on Wilson.’ You remember that? 'This ain’t your night!' My night, I could’ve taken Wilson apart. So what happens? He gets the title shot outdoors in a ballpark, and what do I get? A one way ticket to Palookaville. You was my brother, Charley, you should’ve looked out for me a little bit. You should’ve taken care of me just a little bit so I wouldn’t have to take them dives for the short end money…”
- “I had some bets down for ya, you saw some money.”
- “…You don’t understand! I could’ve had class. I could’ve been a contender. I could’ve been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am. Let’s face it. It was you, Charley”
