George Segal (1934-2021) was an American actor and musician. Segal became popular in the 1960s and 1970s for playing both dramatic and comedic roles. Some of his most acclaimed roles are in films such as Ship of Fools (1965), King Rat (1965), Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966), The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre (1967), Where’s Poppa? (1970), The Hot Rock (1972), Blume in Love (1973), A Touch of Class (1973), California Split (1974), For the Boys (1991), and Flirting with Disaster (1996). He was one of the first American film actors to rise to leading man status with an unchanged Jewish surname—thus paving the way for Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand. – From Wikipedia

R.I.P. George
George Segal has never really been known in France. I would even say that today, it is a totally forgotten actor. But King Rat has a place apart in my heart of movie buff. My father had seen the film during his discreet French release in 1966. He was 18 years old and the film had deeply marked him. So much so that he spoke to me regularly when I was a teenager, telling me that he would like to see him again. You should know that this film was never broadcast on TV.
In 2007, to my surprise, the film was published on DVD in France. So I bought it and offered it to my father for his birthday. At his reaction I realized that it was probably the best gift I gave him in his life. A simple DVD.
It was also the last because he died four months later of a heart attack.
I kept the DVD and will always keep it. I watched the movie and my dad was right, it was a very good movie.
Hey Laurent…..wonderful story about King Rat and your dad. I can see that it would be a memory that you remember and cherish. I can imagine King Rat would not be in heavy rotation in France. For me….it is The Bridge at the River Kwai….my dad loved that movie. For his birthday (which turned out to be his last) I got him the Blu-Ray of that movie…..he was supposed to come over and watch it on our big screen and blu-ray player…..but we never got the chance. That blu-ray is now sitting on my DVD case……and it is bittersweet everytime I run across it. Thanks for sharing this memory…greatly appreciated.
Bruce, I’m not sure I’m liking the new format, will you be splitting up subject info over several pages now? Is this the main page for comments? You know the old saying – if it ain’t broke… a lot of people might not bother checking out all the other pages which means they’ll be missing out on interesting info, stats etc
I’ve seen 8 of the 45 films on the chart, weak I know. Favorites include The Quiller Memorandum, Bridge at Remagen, The Longest Day, 2012 and The Terminal Man.
Hang on let me have a quick look at the critics page… Virginia Woolf no.1. I’ve watched that a couple of times, not one of my favorites, too much yapping and yelling.
So only this page will turn up on the index page I assume? Otherwise it will get messy on there.
Too be blunt not a fan of the new format, if it was Elvis or John Wayne I would check out every page connected to this but Segal isn’t that interesting.
Hey Steve. Thanks for your thoughts on the new format. I agree, George might not be the best choice for a new format to test on……but you gotta start somewhere. I am sure we will reach a happy medium that helps increase our mobile views with having everything on one page.
I have seen 24 of these movies. I did not realize I was such a huge Segal fan. I have seen all of your favorite Segal movies…..and liked them as well. Not there with you about Va Wolfe. As always your movie thoughts are always appreciated. Guess I gotta go to sleep…keep nodding off as I type.
I was desperately seeking the full table. thankfully I found it before I passed out. yea UMR. saw 12 . 2 10’s longest day and my only favourite who’s afraid of Virginia wolf. hidden gem is fred and elsa. I love the Streisand movies just not enough to be in my top 320 favorites
Hey bob cox…..made sure to include the full table. We were looking at some of our numbers….and our mobile views are not as strong as they should be…..especially compared to some of our competitors. The full table does not show up on a mobile device….so this George Segal page was our guinea pig. The good news is…..by using only three columns per page…the mini-tables show up on mobile funs. The bad news is……there are now more links….compared to the “one page”.
I have seen 24 of these movies. Longest Day is my favorite….not a huge fan of Va Wolfe….I might never watch that one again. I agree Elsa and Fred is a pretty nice movie. Christopher Plummer has made some pretty good movies after turning 80. What’s Up Doc is my favorite Streisand movie….took me years to realize it was a remake of Bringing Up Baby. Thanks for the feedback and the visit.
Ahoy, Me Hearties!…..this page is drastically different than how it normally is…..very interested in your feedback of the experimental format.
