Lena Olin and Robert Redford in Havana (1990)
After six decades in show business, Robert Redford announced that 2018's 'The Old Man & the Gun' will be his last performance. The role is a familiar one for the screen legend: a con with conviction. Let's travel "Through the Lens" to explore how Redford developed this character and how this on-screen persona perfectly culminates in his cinematic swan song.

    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Actor Raul Julia appeared in a significant supporting role in the film without any credit or billing at all in the film. Julia chose to be uncredited because producers for contractual reasons could not accommodate Julia's request for him to be billed second alongside Robert Redford, as the top two above-the-title star-teaming credits had already been signed over to top first-billed Redford and second-billed actress Lena Olin, with the third billed credit already having been contracted to actor Alan Arkin. According to the "LA Times," Raul Julia's agent Jeff Hunter said: "Our usual above-the-title credit wasn't available. So, we decided not to take any credit at all." Director Sydney Pollack said told the same paper: "The only billing left for Julia was to be stacked with the rest of the names . . . his agent felt that would be a step backward" and there is a dilemma when there is "an actor on the ascendancy, like [Raul] Julia, and you ask the actor to do a role that's somewhat smaller [than their emerging star status]." Julia had found rising-star status since his performance in the Academy Award winning film Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985).

      Although the film is set in 1958, the garage scene uses a 1961 re-recorded version of Rum And Coca Cola by The Andrews Sisters. This version was recorded for Dot Records, two years after the movie's setting.
