Donald Pleasence has always been a favorite actor, although I wouldn't
have cast him as Blofeld in You Only Live Twice (1967).
In my YouTube suggestions, Peter Falk was a guest of Johnny Carson to
promote his Columbo episode as the special guest murderer, "Any Old Port
In a Storm", which originally aired 10/7/1973. Falk was such a nice guy, >going out of his way to praise Pleasence's acting. Falk has cited this
as his favorite episode. Falk even praised the writer of the teleplay, >Stanley Ralph Ross.

I haven't seen this in years and should track it down.
For Charles Bronson day on TCM, there's Pleasence as Blythe the forger
in The Great Escape (1963). Of all the huge cast WWII action-adventure
movies (without major battle scenes), this movie is the most satisfying.
John Sturges managed his cast of big personalities well. Of the
supporting players, Blythe is the most memorable character and his
friendship with Hendley (James Garner) is the heart of the movie. Yes, I
know Steve McQueen was his usual prima donna self and demanded so much
screen time that Garner was no longer the lead, but dammit, Hilts is a
great character. The escape scenes with Hilts riding the motorcycle to
Elmer Bernstein's epic score are glorious.
I did not remember that Jill Ireland was married to David McCallum at
the time she first met Bronson during production of this movie.
Pleasence had a prolific career. Wikipedia claims there were over 250
roles on stage, screen, and tv.

He's a great villain in that.
