Performances by both McQueen and Hoffman in Papillon were STELLAR. Wish I had not lost the DVD.

Go to Half.com (it's part of FleaBay) and you can buy it brand new for $3 (I don't know about shipping to the Great White North)

Picked it up at the big video games & movies re-seller in town yesterday. Watched it today. Still a great movie! Didn't spot a scuba diver in the final scene(s).
I lit up real big when I spotted a scene that Star Trek: TNG "played homage" too. Twice, iirc. When he's losing his marbles in solitary confinement, and he has the "wasted life" hallucination about a judge wearing red flanked by a jury in the desert. That was used for one or two Star Trek episodes involving the omnipotent Q. Great stuff on both accounts.
Also, there was some "movies are make-believe" straight shaving
Decades away from full-beard growing abilities.
