Steve McQueen was wildly jealous and created a weird one-sided rivalry with James Garner, but Garner handled it like a real mensch. www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film...
![screenshot that reads:
"Such were the crises that McQueen's agent had to fly over to Germany to smooth things over. 'McQueen had power for the first time in his life,' Adams says. 'He was jealous of James Garner, who was very handsome in character with his white sweater. McQueen was upset about that sweater.' So upset, that he demanded a costume swap, according to Adams. 'The production people said, "We'll get Garner to change into a sweatshirt and you can wear the jumper." Eventually, McQueen calmed down and the swap never took place.
For his part, James Garner was amused by McQueen's attempts to manoeuvre himself to the apex of the ensemble cast. Rather than feeling threatened, he had a part in trying to talk the actor round when he threw a tantrum.
'He [Steve] wanted to re-shoot everything that we'd done,' Garner said in an interview some 40 years later, 'and hell, we were hurting for money and time and everything. So a couple of days later, John Sturges came to me and said, "Jim, you're the star of the picture. Steve is out." Rather than grabbing for glory, Garner decided to open up diplomatic channels to bring McQueen back.
'I took Steve and Coburn,' Garner recalled, and we went over to my house in Munich and we went through the script. I said, "Well, what's your problem, Steve?" "Well, I don't like this. I don't like that." We went through a lot of scenes. I said, "This is silly. You don't like anything, Steve." Part of the problem, it seemed, was McQueen's determination that his character remain cool and inscrutable. 'We finally figured out,' Garner said, "Steve, you want to be the hero, but you don't want to do anything heroic.""](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:57to4anm3kiw2kmo2mudl7fn/bafkreigdffdudjrt5ru2awmqslw2pz3yjsw7ntcnjz7ocf6o67dgotaq3e@jpeg)

Let's not forget Felicity Jones. She said so much with her performance. More than just the words she spoke.

Smith has said in the past that an independent Alberta would annex northern BC. This explains her obsession with a northern pipeline rather than expanding the existing south route.
