DETECTIVE STORY was the first Douglas film I saw and it made me an instant fan. I haven't been able to see it since so I can't wait for the DVD.

Best Film: PATHS OF GLORY
Best Performance: (hard to pick but....) SPARTACUS

You fans should certain check out A FATHER, A SON: ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD.
