Controversy

When Charles Bronson appeared on the Dick Cavett Show, with fellow guests Richard Attenborough and Jill Ireland (Bronson’s wife) he confirmed that this was one story about his attacking a director that was true. On the last day of filming his frustration at the director, whom he believed had stuck doggedly to a poor plan of how to film the story, boiled over, he grabbed Nicolas Gessner by the throat, and gave him a shake. Jill Ireland confirmed this and agreed with Bronson’s assessment of Gessner, “He was a bit thick”
