Rest in peace, Robert Redford

“I grew up at a time when there was no television, there was just radio. You didn’t have the aggressive technology you have today. There’s so much high tech that it deprives us of being inventive on our own. Technology deprives us of coming up with our own stories. We’re relying on stories being fed to us through technology and since I grew up at a time when that didn’t exist, you had to make up your own stories.”
Robert Redford, 1936 - 2025

RIP, Mr. Redford.

My favorite move of his is almost unknown. Havana. From 1989. Backdrop is the Cuban revolution.
It’s not marketed this way, but it sort of depicts the backstory between Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Becall in Casablanca, but with different names in a different setting. A prequel, before that was a thing.

Robert Redford as "death" in the Twilight Zone. Perhaps the most watched episode of that series...

Wow! Thanks for posting that! He would have been 26 then? So handsome!
Bittersweet indeed.

Humphrey Bogart
It was Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca, which of course was set in Morocco. Lauren Bacall and Bogart first co-starred in "To Have and Have Not" and maybe that was in Cuba? (I'm not sure, it was a tropical setting). They also co-starred in "Key Largo" which was in Florida, not Cuba.
So I think you are thinking of "To Have and Have Not" ?
Redford was so impossibly handsome. And a good guy, too. Such an icon that it seems impossible that he was mortal after all.
