I don’t think Christopher Plummer should be included in these discussions of actors who hated a movie. He made his peace with “The Sound Of Music” long ago. In his 2008 autobiography “In Spite Of Myself” he writes that he showed up on set with a haughty “I Am A Serious Actor” attitude. He credits Julie Andrews for befriending him and inspiring him with her dedication to the project (and, indeed, he gives a performance almost as worthy as Julie’s). In 2015 he showed up at all the “Sound Of Music” 50th anniversary reunions, posing in smiling pictures with the surviving cast members. He really mellowed a lot after – and maybe because of – his “Sound Of Music” experience.
I think that most movie actors who regret being in a film (often one made before they hit the Big Time) just don't talk about it. They want to let people forget it rather than make it more prominent.
I wonder if the Paul Newman anti-Silver Chalice ad was a joke. Surely, making such a Big Deal out of the TV broadcast could only increase viewership.
