July 23 1969 

CASTLE KEEP opens. Written by Daniel Taradash and David Rayfiel, from the novel by William Eastlake. Directed by Sydney Pollack. Surreally oddball & dream-weaving counter-culture influenced, 1944-set anti-war conundrum focusing on company of US soldiers, led by Burt Lancaster's Major, holed up in medieval Belgian castle. Fascinating, unsung classic.With Peter Falk,  Patrick O'Neal, Jean-Pierre Aumont and Bruce Dern.
