0:00.0	Hello, everyone and welcome to a brand new episode of the Cine Files live here on the Cine Files YouTube channel.
0:20.0	I am one half of the Cineophiles, John Roker,
0:22.9	joined, as always by my other half here. Steve Morris, how are you, Steve? I'm doing very good,
0:27.9	and I'm not happy about the circumstances, but I am happy to honor one of the great actors of my
0:34.4	lifetime, you know? Yeah, absolutely. Someone who has spanned seven decades of work
0:40.9	in the industry, garnering numerous awards, numerous iconic characters, and of course,
0:46.6	numerous tributes to him from his recent passing at 95 years old. And we are talking, of course,

1:45.3	that you think about and remember about Robert Duvall? Well, it definitely isn't the American
1:50.2	Olivier. That's such a weird comparison to me because it to me, it's just like he's nothing like
1:56.1	Olivier. Like I don't, I doesn't make sense to me at all. What's's what's amazing to me and what I've really been thinking about is like I mean,

2:08.0	Yes.
