You are quite right Mr. Roberts.
Kubrick was brought in "after the fact" so most key parts were most likely already cast. And indeed, there was probably not much love lost between Douglas and Kubrick.
Even so, I do like the film.
When the restored version had a limited run here in LA we made a point of seeing it on a big screen at a theatre in Century City -- very impressive.
And one digression for Mr. Sumner...
The author of both 'All Quiet On The Western Front' and 'A Time To Love And A Time To Die' actually has a small part in the latter film, as the protagonist's old professor, hiding in the ruins of the city waiting for the Reich to collapse and the war to end.
But then you probably already knew that. :wink:
