Stamp mail

Rico says he was able, through Stage 32, to ask Terence Stamp about one of his early films, and actually got an answer:


Rico: While I'm sure it's ancient history for you, I still remember, so, was it fun doing Modesty Blaise?

Stamp: It was fun, against all odds. Joe Janni, a rare 'creative' producer, hired the wrong director, a solemn man. Monica Vitti was not an action actress. Dirk Bogarde viewed it as a vehicle to announce his campiness. I loved the art direction, the costumes, Sicily. Oh, and yes, I was very much in love at the time.
