Griffin Dunne?

When the hicks arrive at the swingers' party, they are asked to drop the keys to their car into a fishbowl, like the other guests. They have no idea what is going on.

The character addressed as "Paul". -- An early appearence by an actor / director / producer who is still quite busy.

**** Buck -- Kris Kristofferson in *Songwriter* (1984)

Context: The main character arrives at work just at opening time and logs on the computer at his desk. The screen responds with that greeting. This at the end of a very trying night. Mid 1980s, when desktop units all looked something like portable TV sets.

The swinger's-party host who sent out the circular: An actor with some film credits and a lot of TV credits, including starring roles in at least two series. One of his series, a family sitcom, delivered a number of follow-up TVMs even after the series ended.

Oh, Poo! Should have known it was too soon to re-use *Misty.*

Uhh, thanks. Actually, I thought Sixes was focused on the mid-1980s film named *Lust in the Dust*, with Tab Hunter and Divine. For all I knew, it could have been that one. All I remember about it is where the treasure map was found. Anyway...
The subject of this thread justifies the inclusion of an "eratomania" plot, and I've been looking for a suitable one. The two best that come to mind -- one is foreign and the other is a TVM. I settled on this one.
He figured a brief fling; she thought it was lifetime possession. She wasn't going to accept "No." It got to the point of being dangerous for anyone else who came into his life. Early 1970s.

Thanks, skipper. Next up: Remembered this one from the late '60, and tracked it down. A show that was not only an anthology, but each hourlong show was broken down into usually three or more stories. Some of them were quite brief, like a one-punchline joke. Made use frequently of familiar performers, familiar names.
In the one I have in mind, a married couple from the waaayonder sticks had relocated to Los Angeles. Looking to find friends and get acquainted, they consulted a circular that had been handed to them at a traffic light stop.
Husband -- "That girl said we could have some fun at this thing."
Wife -- "Hon, that was a boy."
Husband -- "Did you ever see a boy with hair down to his shoulders?"
(psssst! Things like that were showing up about this time)
The husband in this sketch had a background on playing hicks on Broadway and in movies.

New entry:
Final line, not spoken, but it appears on a screen:
"Good morning, Paul."

retiring the question...
That was Tony Granios as Perry, to John Fredrich as Joey, with the curtain line to 1979's *The Wanderers*, in which the title street gang used Dion's hit single as a theme song. Actually, the rising young names in the cast were Ken Wahl and Karen Allen. Again, "The 1950s ended in 1963."

*GE True Theater*, 14 Nov. 1954. Episode entitled I'm a Fool. James Dean and Natalie Wood in the central roles. (Later, they worked together in *Rebel Without A Cause*.) Eddie Albert narrated as the Dean character's older self. Roy Glenn, in the role of "Burt", later worked with Poitier in *A Raisin in the Sun*, and in *Guess Who's Coming To Dinner*.

One more try on this one, then I'll retire the question and try another. Tagline:
"We now know the 1950s ended in 1963."
Film?

Ripper, (Brig. Gen.) Jack -- Sterling Hayden in *Dr. Strangelove, or How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Bomb* (1964)

Did they wind up on either side of the HUAC news bites -- testify or get blacklisted?

Other gangs are breaking up, too. A gang that sported shaved heads got drunk and enlisted in the Marine Corpse. Sober, they showed up and tried to take it back. The recruiter had his .45 at the ready. When last seen, they are riding away, singing the appropriate Hymn.

Correct. Down at 42 Views.
Edy's thread.

Not *Green Mile*. Location: A Texas county on the Mexican border. Some of the local Mexicans are illegals. There are ethnic tensions there, and also tensions among the personnel at the local Army base. These had been much worse in the earlier era when the murder was committed.

The old gang is breakin' up. One guy knocked up his girlfriend, had a shotgun wedding, and is now working for his father-in-law. Another wandered into a storefront lounge where a new discovery named Bob Dylan is performing. Etc. These last two have just gotten on the expressway, bound for Los Angles, where, rumor has it, the action is.
