But wouldn't it be more accurate to claim the "Paul Newman Era" was from the late-1950s to the 1970s/80s, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof to The Color of Money? We know him for his film roles, and after 1986, his roles became less, and less memorable.
My favorite - the two films with Redford. Hands down!
Possibly.....if it was only about specific roles. But it's about more than that. It's about where and how the films of that time played a role in peoples lives, in relationship to the world around them..... because of where they were in their own lives and the relationship of their world around them. Not unlike the era of the Bogie and Bacall genre of film....or the silent movie era. Timing. Entertainment meant different things to people in 'those times'.
*two great films for sure ![/DIV]
