Then I watched REQUIEM FOR A HEAVYWEIGHT. I've had this TV version on videotape for years, but I was hoping it would be a bit cleaner and sharper on DVD. Alas, no such luck. It is what it is.
Great drama, of course, and marvelous performances. No wonder Palance won the Emmy. Ed Wynn got nominated, too, but what a joke that Keenan Wynn didn't get a nomination. He was better than his father (but, of course, this was Ed Wynn's first dramatic performance after years of being a clown, and I'm sure the nomination was to reward him for a valiant effort.)
