Not sure what's meant by "slow" acting. Talked slow, moved slow? And was it out of his character's nature?

When their mouths are what?
MY mouth is always my mouth. And that's my main problem.

And moving back a bit, That residence the Day family occupied in LIFE WITH FATHER was really nice. I of course don't know for sure if places like that really existed in 1880's New York, but do know when I punch it's Madison avenue address in Google earth I get nowhere any buildings like that possibly existed.

Ha! I knew I saw it before my Mom remarried( 4/11/59) And coincidentally, it aired on my wife's 17th birthday.

I am curious, while Jack Nicholson is often lauded for his acting, do women find him believable as a romantic lead? I personally don't even find his acting to be that great and think he can only give the same performance and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Still love many of his films (and i should add i was born in the same hospital in Salem, Oregon where Cuckoo's Nest was filmed).
I don't know if I'd mention being born in what many only know as a "nuthouse".
But I get that.
Here in the Detroit area, there was a sprawling collection of buildings that Became the Wayne County General Hospital, where my brother had his tonsils removed toward the late '50's. The complex was renamed the Wayne County General hospital in 1948, after years of being known as a complex including a mental health and psychiatric hospital as well. in the early '60's a new Wayne County General hospital was built a few hundred yards down Merriman Road from the old facility, which then became entirely a psychiatric facility and renamed Eloise. Only the old main structure still stands as the mental health facility closed operations in the late '80's and the old hospital structures were razed. And now, even that new structure the county hospital moved into down the road closed in the '90's sometime and is no longer in use.
As for Jack in "Postman"...... No woman I know who saw that version said they'd be willing to risk their marriages over the not at all attractive(to them) Nicholson. Especially if they looked even remotely like Jessica Lange!

The only televised version of HARVEY I recall seeing was an early '60's (maybe late '50's?) presentation in which ART CARNEY handled the role of Elwood P. Dowd. So long ago I really don't recall much about it. And also can't find any info about it.

A Hound For Trouble (1951) One of a handful of hilarious Charlie Dog cartoons. He was my favorite of the lesser known characters of the era. He was a Brooklyn accented pooch who always longs for a master, but he is so obnoxious that the masters cannot stand him. Here he is kicked off a ship and lands in Italy. He tries to be adopted by a restaurant owner. Funniest scenes are Charlie stomping grapes for wine, causing a customer to get nauseous and he sings a hysterically funny song "Atsa Matta You".
And you know, It's surprising that they'd show this one that's so full of not so nice Italian stereotypes . Especially this tune
Well, if nobody complained too much when JAY WARD and Co. named the Frostbite Falls university WASSAMOTTA U, then Bugs and friends should get a pass too.

I thought someone posted that Frank Loyd Wright house that Ken (Richard Egan) and Sylvia(Dorothy McGuire) moved into in A SUMMER PLACE already, but going back over the posts, didn't spot it, but it's worth mentioning again. But as I can't post pics, I'll offer this... I think it'd be cool to live in that place!

I was always fond of the VAN DAMM place in NORTH BY NORTHWEST. But too bad it wasn't a real place.
But too,I kinda like Spencer Tracy's abode in FATHER OF THE BRIDE.

Just saw GO CHASE YOURSELF ('38)again this morning on TCM.
Yet ANOTHER movie involving LUCILLE BALL and a trailer!
Fair enough comedy, but a little bit of JOE PENNER is far too much IMHO.

Let's just hope the programmers don't get his films mixed up with those of JEREMY SLATE.
I always though him and Boyd had a close resemblance.

Jaws II! Ian Shaw bears a striking resemblance to his father Robert's character Quint in new play The Shark Is Broken about the making of the iconic film
A new play about the famously troubled production of Jaws has just opened in London's West End. The production named The Shark Is Broken stars Ian Shaw (left) who plays his own dad Robert (right) who starred as Quint in the original film. Ian bears a remarkable likeness to how his father looked in the film in images released of the show, sporting side burns, a brown hat and dishevelled hair.
WHAT!!
A son resembling his Father??
Who'da THUNK!

Can't find anything as to what caused his heart attack. Could be heart health issues were genetic. And to augment MR. GORMAN'S statements;
I knew of people that NEVER drank and/or smoked and too, were never obese who died of heart failure or other heart related issues but were "genetically predisposed" to poor heart health.
Anyway.... calling for a "tribute" for an actor that died 44 years ago might be putting it wrong. I'd put it that Stephen Boyd was long overdue for a SOTM or SUTS designation.

A bit off topic but i remember the first time my wife took me to Brighton and walking on the pier i saw a Helter Skelter. So after decades of speculation and people like Charles Manson proclaiming the Beatles song was about race wars in the apocalypse, turns out it was just a silly song about a slide. The White Album really is just a bunch of silly nursery rhymes isn't it.
"Helter Skelter" according to Merriam-Webster, is defined as "undue haste, confusion, disorder." And going over the lyrics of the tune, there's NOTHING AT ALL about wars of any kind. Now,
I never knew the song was about a slide, but knew the term "helter-skelter" referred to "disorder" and felt the music of the song was meant to illustrate that. But as Manson never was playing with a full deck, what HE heard could have been anything. But.....
Can't really think of which "nursery rhyme" BACK IN THE USSR comes from.

It was a sub-orbital hop, so he was there and back in ten minutes. Still, that was considered good enough for Alan Shepard and Gus Grissom.
And yes, given the opportunity, I'd be there in a hearbeat.

REDD was age 49 when "Sanford & Son" went to air in January 1972; he was made up to look older, but admittedly his hard living and hard-partying lifestyle meant he didn't have to be 'made-up' that much. Redd made an appearance on Flip Wilson's show -- you can see it on YT -- in a segment titled "The Heckler". This segment apparently aired right before "Sanford & Son" took to air because at the end of the segment Flip and Redd talk about Redd's "new show" and how it was premiering "tomorrow night".
As I mentioned earlier too, SPENCER TRACY was said to have been a heavy smoker, but mostly in private. And too.... Died June 10th 1967 looking MUCH older than the 67 years old he was. Hell, I'm 70 and STILL look years younger than Tracy did at his end. And for me, it's YEARS after smoking tobacco heavily for over 30 years, which was AFTER I quit smoking anything else one could smoke from '72 to until '85. And '72 was the FIRST time I quit smoking, after first taking up the habit as a 13 year old. So you gotta figure Spencer was doing much more than just smoking heavy.

Depends. Looking for ON SCREEN, off, or don't matter. Although rarely on screen, Spencer Tracy was alleged to be a heavy smoker while relaxing at home curled up with a good book, pot of coffee and smoking like a chimney.
John Wayne, already established, was rarely seen on screen and off without a smoke dangling from his mouth.
The "lesser" star JACKIE GLEASON, particularly in the movie SOLDIER IN THE RAIN, smoked pretty heavy.

Sure. I talk and sometimesscream at the TV screen, like during FAMILY FEUD or some political stuff. But never in a movie theater. But I've heard plenty of others in theaters do so, but the most memorable one was whhen we went to see BACK TO THE FUTURE when it came out('85)
At the part whereMarty tells he 1955 Doc Brown that he was from 1985, the Doc, at first, doesn't believe him. Then asks, "OK, future boy, who's president in 1985?" And Marty answers with slight reluctance, "Ronald Reagan". To which Doc Brown, with loud disbelief shouts, "What! The ACTOR?" then asks, "Then who's VICE PRESIDENT, JERRY LEWIS??"
Without missing a beat, some guy from across the theater from us yells, "Close ENOUGH!" (referring of course, to Geoge H.W. Bush.)

OK....
Someone with patience and the ability to post pics can help me out here, please?
Yesterday at my dentist's office, the TV in his waiting room was on and tuned to THE VIEW. On the show, I saw an old man in a small crowned ball cap that reminded me of KEVIN BROWNLOW as he's looked recently in some TCM between movie fillers or some recent interviews concerning movie history. And, THAT Kevin Brownlow put to mind of a resemblance to BUCK HENRY(shortly before he died).
Well, it turned out the old man who reminded me of Brownlow was non other than RON HOWARD of OPIE fame from the old "Andy Griffith Show" !!
That those three individuals would, in their old age, wind up resembling each other just blew my mind!

I put the "laugh" emoticon on that post because it reminded me of once seeing a Canadian stand-up comic in a Detroit area comedy club do a routine about driving drunk down a Detroit suburb main road with a buddy(also drunk) who informs him that, "Hey, man.... You gotta SNOW PLOW tailgating you!" The buddy, also Canadian, figured it was a snowplow because of the blue flashing light, drunkenly not realizing that in Mich.(and probably other states) the POLICE have flashing blue lights on their vehicles.
Anyway, the routine goes on to where the comic says he tried his best to get the snowplow off his azz and kept speeding up, but it stayed on his tail. Even at 75-80 mph! "That was the FASTEST snowplow I EVER saw!"
