”The role instead went to Walter Matthau, during that wonderful stretch of the 1970s when a man with a self-described ‘face like a catcher’s mitt’ could be a movie star. There aren’t many films in which you can imagine Matthau swapping places with Eastwood – though The Bridges Of Madison County would be a corker – but Charley Varrick is a surprisingly comfy fit.” – Crooked Marquee, 01/05/2024
