#6 is The Best Years of Our Lives
Is #1 Clifton Webb in Laura?
Is #2 Groundhog Day?
#5 is Three Kings.
#7 is Galaxy Quest.
Ah, got it. I almost said George Sanders in All About Eve. Waldo Lydecker and Addison DeWitt are blood brothers.
Aren’t they? I’ve always felt that way.
If you exchanged them between the two movies, you’d hardly notice the difference.
Definitely.
We all watched Galaxy Quest up in Vermont, so that one was fresh in my mind. The Three Kings quote is burned into my brain because I find it so useful so often. And Groundhog Day…in how many movies was there not a tomorrow today? 😉
That’s one of my favorite lines in Galaxy Quest–Weaver had all the best lines. My other favorite is “The person who wrote this episode should DIE!” I believe that was my sig for a while.
#4 is Key Largo.
#3 would have been much, much harder if you hadn’t recently reviewed the film: Out of the Past.
Shoot, got here too late.
And let’s face it, Waldo is unhinged and Addison isn’t.
Bill: I knew that my recent review was a hint, but I can’t tell you how many times I’ve done that and had no one get the clue anyway.
And let’s face it, Waldo is unhinged and Addison isn’t.
Hm, true enough. And Waldo is also a bit more, ah, as we used to say, flamboyant (or whatever the euphemism was in the 1940’s). But I can still hear them saying each other’s lines with no loss of wit or venom.
They are both wonderful characters, indeed, and of course the one that seems more a closet case is the one Hollywood makes a killer.
I just have a soft spot for George Sanders. To think that in his suicide note he wrote of boredom….
George Sanders was great. I hadn’t heard about the boredom note; I always ascribed his suicide to this.
Yeah, I loved seeing Galaxy Quest again. Even “Crewman No. 6”, aka Guy (Fleegman, eventually) has a couple of great lines; e.g., “I know! You construct a weapon. Look around, can you form some sort of rudimentary lathe?”, and “Did you guys ever WATCH the show?”. When he comes on at the very end as part of the regular cast, and he finally has a last name, I completely lost it, and almost had to be medevac’d out.
