While I’ve seen Steven Soderbergh‘s The Limey (’99) ten or twelve times, I’ve never once seen Ken Loach‘s Poor Cow (’67). Which I should have by now. Both films star Terrence Stamp (whom I chatted with a bit in Toronto when The Limey had its big premiere in ’99) as a criminal type — the 60ish Wilson in The Limey, 20something Dave in Poor Cow. Soderbergh used clips from Poor Cow to suggest what Wilson’s life was like when he was young with a daughter, etc. I just bought a Poor Cow Bluray on Amazon.co.uk. I tried to stream a rental but British Amazon only allows people with British bank cards to do this.
