Movie review for the day

Rico says he and the ladyfriend watched yet another William Holden movie, The 7th Dawn, also starring a young Susanna York and Capucine, as a revolutionary local:

Political and personal intrigues surround a group of characters in Malaya, after the end of the Second World War.

It was, charitably, a bit weak, but watchable. But doing a little research on the film turned up the unusual factoids that Holden suffered a laceration to his forehead and bled to death, after he slipping on a throw rug and hitting his head on a table (though claims that he was intoxicated at the time are disputed), while Capucine (a lifelong manic-depressive, apparently) committed suicide, at the age of 62, in Lausanne, Switzerland, after jumping from her eighth-story apartment. (Her stage name, as she was born Germain Lefebvre, is the name of the nasturtium flower in French.)
