Charles Bronson couldn't happen today. Born to Lithuanian immigrants in 1921, Brosnan began working at the Pennsylvania coal mine at the age of 12 to help maintain the family's income after his father's death. It was a miserable existence. Great depression hardly hit the family. Meals can be scarce, and the shelter seemed to be ever endangered. Despite these difficulties, Bronson managed to graduate in high school and eventually left Apalachia to serve as an air striker in the US Air Force during World War II.

After the war, Bronson moved to Hollywood and studied acting. At 5 '8, "He was not an overpowering presence, but he had a tiring intensity of his early performances that must be rooted in the tension of his valuable childhood. Bronson felt resolved, seriously, in many of his early roles, shockingly vulnerable.

Bronson was not an actor's method, but he understood his craft very seriously. He studied a sign of sign to withdraw his performance as Igor, an assistant to the mice of the unusual Vincent Price professor Henry Arrod in Andre De Tot's "House of Wax". It was a surprisingly nuanced job for a small character in the Horror B film, and landed the actor coming and comes a series of roles that led to his intelligence.

It was not easy for anyone with a difficult, unprecedented vision of Bronson to become a starvet in the 1950s and 1960s (he was probably best suited to the character parts of West TV -Show as "Gunsmoke"), And that would be absolutely impossible today in our age of superheroes with a baby. In fact, Bronson just landed his role as a starvet because another actor turned out. However, he worked for both of them, because as much as I adore the actor who rejected the part, I think it would be as good as George "Mitralez" Kelly.

Roger Korman was only three years in his career in 1958, but incredible, he has already directed nearly 20 feature films. He worked quickly and cheaply and generally delivered a party that can be seen. He targeted younger films with B-Teks who tried to try in tried genres such as Western, Horror and, as it was particularly hot at the time, juvenile delinquent dramas. So, when he decided to make a "machine gun Kelly" (based on the exploitation of a robber in Tennessee), he initially predicted Dick Miller in the title role. When Miller refused, Kurman turned to Bronson.

If you are thinking of a "machine-pistol Kelly" it was zero for Bronson's Tacitar Taciton, who earned it Long -term franchise through his portrayal of Paul Kersi in Michael's "death desire" (Although Kersi of the first film is not a stone-cold, an unusual killer of the sequels), you're wrong. Kelly's Kelly's film is a coward that is easily manipulated by Lady McBet-like Flo Becker (terrible Susan Cat). Bronson is weak, whiney and eventually pathetic. Kurman said he wanted to shoot the film because he loved the name (very much on the market!) And he was intrigued by how Kelly did not live according to his dreadful monitor.

"Machine Gun Kelly" was successful in the United States, but found a real critical benefit between the "Cahieri Du Kinema" set. Although Korman was filming the film in just 10 days, it looks like a regular budget study programmer and moves like lubricated lightning through its 80-minute shelf life. That's my favorite movie Corman from the 50s of the last century to the celebrated "Bucket of Blood" (which starred Miller), and it led directly to throw Bronson Johnon Strigses's "Beautiful Seven" Big Budget West. If you grew up to act Bronson's actions without humorous, Haki in the 80s, give the "Pistol Kelly" machine. The man was an actor's hell before becoming a punk-blessed movie star.
