  1. According to Wiki:

     

    Dobie's two main antagonists were rich kids, Milton Armitage (Warren Beatty) and, after his departure, Milton's cousin, Chatsworth Osborne, Jr. (Steve Franken), both representing the wealth and popularity to which Dobie aspired. They both shared the same actress, Doris Packer, as their mother.

  2. As far as I've seen or at least have noticed KD, just on the main page.

     

    But ya have to rmember Pam here appears to be a newbie to the site, and so my guess is that when she first logged in, the ads were what caught her eye right off.

  3. Nope, sorry finance ol' boy. But, if as you said down below there that MovieLover11 and I were thrown off the Andrew Garfield/Andy Murray lookalike thing solely because of their mutual first names, THEN I say you and Geminigirl are being thrown off by the whole uniform thing John Kerr and David Petraeus only have in common there.

     

    'CAUSE ya see, it ISN'T the ex-General THERE who looks like Kerr, but IS in fact the late Steve Franken HERE...

    ...and maybe best remembered as the snotty rich kid Chatsworth Osborne Jr on the old "Dobie Gillis" sitcom, who DOES!!!

     

    (...nnnnn-EAH...so THERE!!!)

     

    ;)

  4. Actually, and while I'm no big Liza fan myself, I've always thought her "ugliness" played to the believability of her character, because I've always thought Sally Bowles' character was supposed to be one who tries too hard to be loved and accepted by the other characters around her. And thus, if she WERE "pretty" and desirable, wouldn't those qualities tend to make these necessities of her character much less apparent to advance the plot?

  5. Well, I'm certainly glad that we're back on topic here, 'cause after I mentioned a certain play/movie with the characters of George and Martha, and THEN after reading somethin' about Richard Burton being buried under that parking lot...well, for minute there I thought I was readin' a new take on an old Abbott and Costello routine maybe best titled..."Who's On First with Virginia Woolf"!!!

     

    (...I get SO confused sometimes, ya know!!!) ;)

  6. >No, I do not have the schnozola for it. It's ACTING -as Jon Lovitz would say..

     

    LOL

     

    Yeah, sorta like what Olivier was said to have said to Dustin Hoffman right before they filmed that torture in in Marathon Man and when Olivier asked him why he looked like he had been up all night when he showed up for filming, to which Hoffman told him he HAD been up all night in order to look ragged for the scene, AND to which Olivier supposedly replied..."Did you ever consider trying to ACT it instead, dear boy?"

  7. >But to your point I think having to read Macbeth in high school prejudiced me against that play for a long time!

     

    Hmmm...and here in '69 I played Macbeth in selected solo scenes and representing my L.A. high school's drama class at a UCLA-held L.A.U.S.D. Shakespearean contest, AND came in third place out of a total of some 25 or so other young actors representing their schools.

     

    Yep..."Is this a DAGGER which I see before me? The handle toward my hand? Etc, etc, etc..."

     

    (...yeah yeah, like Brando said, "I could'a been a contender", but got hooked into the airlline biz instead)

     

    ;)

  8. Speaking of The Bard...I was wondering how many people here have made the pilgrimage to Stratford-upon-Avon?

     

    In the summer of '96 and during a rail-based tourist loop around the U.K., my wife and I visited this quaint town preserved in its Elizabethan charm.

     

    For those ever contemplating a trip to Blighty, it's a place I believe should be close to the top in priority on anyone's itinerary.

  9. OH! Okay. Now I THINK I get it, Fred.

     

    Well, I'm glad to know it wasn't the inclusion of those Brown Shirts that tuned ya off to this flick. Those fellas have ALREADY gotten a pretty bad rep over the years ya know, and we certainly wouldn't wish to further tarnish their memory by thinking that they or ANYONE in 1931's Germany might've ever used vulgar language...IN REAL LIFE!

  10. Yeah, okay Fred...but what about them there Nazis???

     

    Ya didn't say why ya thought those Brown Shirts made the flick seem dated to ya here.

     

    (...wait, "brown shirts"...THAT'S IT, isn't it...those Nazis didn't start wearin' THAT color until the fall styles came out in 1932, NOT '31, RIGHT?...NOW I get IT!!!!) ;)
