i will leave others to write lengthy tributes to muttiah muralitharan. i will just say as i have done before here;
very well done and thanks.
thanks also for the example you set by retiring from test cricket with your powers still undiminished. an example ppl in all walks of life may do well to emulate.
rebel without a cause is a movie i love. i have watched it countless times. i am also a fan of both james dean and natalie wood.
so i was glad to see this youtube video (uploaded by blumoon531. thanks!) of a screen test of three man actors; dean, wood and salmineo. it is actually two tests, second one runs for few seconds and has no audio.
in the next video (uploaded by jimmysgirl. thanks!) you can see the actual (much improved) scene corresponding to the first screen test. the video contains most of the initial 'abandoned mansion' sequence of the movie and is 7 min long. screen tested scene starts at about 3.35 and continues almost to the end (in fact uploader has edited out few seconds of the sequence at the end and replaced it with few seconds a kiss from a little later).
note: second video has very low audio. if your speakers/earphones at maximum volume don't help, you might try downloading and playing it in a media player; after few minutes, audio becomes normal quality and remains so even on replay. no idea why.
for those who don't know already, all three actors in these videos died prematurely. james dean, famously due to a car accident, at age 24, even before this film (2nd of his only 3 feature films) came out. natalie wood, from drowning at age 43. salmineo was stabbed to death at age 37.
of course you can find lots of clips from movie, as well as fan made tribute music videos on youtube. there are even copies of the atrocious original trailer. i don't think full movie is there. i don't recommend watching the movie (or any other movie) on youtube if you have not seen it already. it deserves better.
