  • Apr. 17, 2012 - The Man Who Went To Sketch This is Hemingway country. this is Picasso stuff. And actor Charlton Heston, filming 55 Days at Peking with Ava Gardner, David Niven, Flora Robson and Robert Helpmann, took the day off from shooting to visit a Madrid bullfight. He had a rope-side seat, but not to see the blood and sand. The visit was strictly creative. He sketched a dozen stances of toreadors - and the señoritas in the stalls didn t go unnoticed either. The multi-million dollar film may bring Charlton his fourth successive hit, following The Ten Commandants, Ben-Hur and El Cid. They have achieved a world-wide gross of over 20 million dollars. - ZUMAk09
