T.O.D.

Robert Mitchum:

Too many to list. He was one of my favorite actors.

In fact, for a time, I did publicity for his son, Chris.

Brian Keith:

No films come to mind. However, I do recall seeing him in a Woodland Hills production of THE SUNSHINE BOYS (the Walter Matthau role) in which he was totally miscast.

Has "Gaily Gaily" ever been released on DVD? I saw the film when it was released but I have no memory of the story or the cast now.

Good morning, all.

Saturday!

Got a friend's birthday dinner late this afternoon. Other than that, the day is mine. I'll do a little work at the keyboard in preparation for tomorrow's rehearsal.

I hope some thawing is getting underway outside. And even more tomorrow, of course. We need it.

We'll be stuffing our pie holes at the local hibachi jernt today. That's what the birthday boy wanted to do one year, and it became a tradition. Some traditions are almost like comfort food, and I personally enjoy this one.

I apparently can't read, JRand.

DR ELMORE I don't think it has! But I really like it - and of course MR BK released the soundtrack on CD!

Jrand74 · « **Reply #44 on:** February 18, 2017, 07:43:23 AM »

It was very surprising to me to learn that Robert Keith was Brian Keith's father - I always liked Robert, especially in WRITTEN ON THE WIND.

It was even more surprising to me to learn that Robert had been married to Peg Entwhistle, the gal who jumped to her death from the HOLLYWOOD sign......

Saturday morning greetings! I just christened our new shower and it's very nice. We'll like it even more when the flooring is something other than plywood sub-floor.

Richard and I are leaving in about an hour to see an HD re-broadcast of NEWSIES on a big screen.

Brian Keith was a wonderful actor - especially in The Parent Trap. But I also loved him in his three 50s noirs - Tight Spot, 5 Against the House, and Nightfall. I watched his TV series Crusader when I was a kid. Also very good in The Young Philadelphians, Nevada Smith, The Russians Are Coming, Gaily, Gaily, and The Wind and the Lion - yes, he was very prolific and it's a bit surprising that no one knows him better, especially on this board.

bk · « **Reply #49 on:** February 18, 2017, 08:55:07 AM »

The production of The Sunshine Boys Druxy speaks of was at a tiny 87-seat theater in Woodland Hills, that was owned by my friend Ed Gaynes (he produced my show Together Again and offered Welcome to My World a home at his theater next to Joe Allen). Brian Keith played Willy Clark and Al Lewis was played by Howard Morris.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #50 on:** February 18, 2017, 09:41:34 AM »

Brian Keith is a name and face I've known since I was a kid, but I'm hard pressed to say for sure what I really knew him from besides The Parent Trap. I must have caught a lot of appearances on TV, though I'm pretty sure I didn't watch any of his big shows regularly.

A conundrum, it is.

While Yoda, I'm not.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #51 on:** February 18, 2017, 09:43:06 AM »

Yesterday evening I got completely distracted from my viewing plans, so Bells Are Ringing still awaits.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #52 on:** February 18, 2017, 10:12:07 AM »

So, I was playing through my La Cage aux Folles book and cursing some impossible page turns, when I finally saw why they're horrible. They were bound wrong; i.e., a song that should start on the left or right side of the open book to facilitate good page turns starts on the other instead. The problem is easy to see from a logical standpoint, but the location of the page numbers betrays the perpetrator.

There's NO way for me to correct this without scanning the entire book and re-laying out how the double-sided pages should go...and that just can't happen at this point. I've seen local idiots make a "play" copy of a book and get the whole thing wrong, and that's bad enough. This is the first time I've received one like this from the rental house.

I was going to ask if you could use it before the floor is installed. It looks more comfortable than your old shower tub.

Not only am I a big fan of his I always loved his name. I wanted Bryan's middle name to be Keith. You know that Jewish tradition about not naming a child after a living person, my dear mother in-law objected. It didn't matter that I just wanted the name

Good Morning! We had quite a rain last night judging by the puddles on my patio. And it looks like we're going to get more. I have wedding to attend later. I don't know if they were planning on an outdoor wedding originally but I'm sir sure it's being moved inside. You can bet the wedding planner has frayed nerves which will get more frayed as the day wears on.

Jason just departed with all of Guys and Dolls Act One except for the last three numbers, "I've Never Been In Love Before," The Chase, and The Act One Curtain. He will send me Act Two up to "The Crapshooters Ballet" later today.

Joshie called me. Around 3:00, I will head down to City Center to look over the finished Overture with him. Tomorrow, I've got two numbers to proof and some tax work.

TIGHT SPOT also has some nice performances from Ginger Rogers and Edward G. Robinson - but the twist at the end involving another character really makes the movie......

It makes Rogers' final moment on the stand a bit anticlimactic.....

Robinson: And what's your profession?

Rogers: Right now? Gangbuster!
