BY ANDRE SOARES, LOS ANGELES, USA (CINEMA MINIMA)
A film series dedicated to the actor, "William Holden: A Different Kind of Hero," is currently taking place at the Film Society of Lincoln Center in New York City. The series runs until July 15.
Among the series’ upcoming films are Sam Peckinpah’s violent THE WILD BUNCH (1969); what is probably Holden’s best film and performance, Sidney Lumet’s over-the-top anti-television drama NETWORK (1976), in which Holden plays a disillusioned TV executive; and George Seaton’s undeservedly forgotten THE COUNTERFEIT TRAITOR (1962), an espionage drama in which Holden capably plays the title character — though the film belongs to Lilli Palmer’s spy-with-a-conscience.
