Today marks the 40th anniversary of Mitr Chaibancha?s death: the day when the most swooned-over leading man in Thai cinema history plunged 90 meters from a helicopter rope ladder in a film stunt gone horribly wrong.
To commemorate this heroic alpha-male with 266 film credits to his name, director Wisit Sasanatieng's reboot of the movie franchise he died shooting -- Thai action series "Red Eagle," or Insee Daeng -- opened all across Thailand yesterday, with Ananda Everingham reprising Mitr?s masked avenger role.
With each of his films from the 1950s and 1960s came movie posters featuring the neatly groomed heartthrob, often alongside the first lady of Thai cinema, the puppy-eyed Petchara Yaowarat.
