With Lauren Hutton in the ABC miniseries of Robert Ludlam's "The Rhinemann Exchange," 1976. This was the first film version of a Robert Ludlam novel and one of TV's earliest miniseries, shot soon after 'Rich Man, Poor Man.' It was directed by Burt Kennedy, a well-known director of westerns, on location in Mexico. "I got to work with Lauren Hutton, John Huston, Claude Akins, René Auberjonois, Larry Hagman, José Ferrer, and Roddy McDowall (who took the home page photo for this site as well as the jacket shot for 'Double Exposure'). Burt Kennedy did his best to make me look and sound tough, and even succeeded once or twice." When an interviewer for TV Guide asked Kennedy what he thought of young Collins, fresh off of 'All The President's Men,' Kennedy replied, "He's either well on his way, or he'll never work again."
