Candice Bergen is sure attractive in The Sand Pebbles. Boy, would I like to get her on a slow boat to China. I wouldn't even mind being in a speedboat to Japan with her. Steve McQueen gets to be in a rowboat with her.
I'm glad she didn't die in the end since pretty much all the other characters did (happily Captain Stubing and Minnesota's James Hong didn't either). The 1960s were great at killing off movie stars in movies. I would have liked to have seen Paul Newman and Robert Redford help McQueen shoot his way out of the Forbidden City at the end even though they all would have died.
I wish more movie stars would get knocked off in movies made today. There are way too many Tom Cruise movies where he is still standing at the end.
I loved Jerry Goldsmith's score for The Sand Pebbles. If I ever got Candice Bergen on a slow boat to China, I'd play it on my boom box.
