The Shining

[algarve addick]

One of my all time top 10 faves.
The only slightly disappointing bit IMO is the ending, where Jack finally freezes and looks a bit daft hamming it up to the max.
Best bit? On the way to the Overlook with Wendy and Danny as Jack observes (as only Jack can) "You see, it's okay, He saw it on the television."Wicked.

OK. You wanted Shining trivia.
The man behind the desk, Stuart Ullman, his new boss, is played by Barry Nelson, the first man ever to play James Bond on screen in the US TV version of Casino Royale in 1954.
He was 'Card Sense' Jimmy Bond, a CIA agent!
