That's Christopher JONES. By the way, whatever did happen to him?
His career was on a meteoric rise back in the late sixties and then
he just vanished. As far as I know he didn't die. To the best of my
recollection he made 4 films: Three In the Attic (1967), Wild In the
Streets (1968), Ryan's Daughter (1970), The Looking Glass War (1970).
The fact that the last two films were flops may have something to
do with it, but that alone shouldn't have killed a promising career.
He seemed very much a successor to James Dean, whom he somewhat
resembled, and it's ironic that, like Dean, he should make less
than a handful of films.
