Added Steve’s George Segal You Tube Video to this page. My thoughts on that video.
“Sad that people seem to have forgotten that Segal was a popular leading man for almost 30 years. His television career of the last 30 years has wiped those memories away. Seen 10 of the first 20….now on to the Top 10. Seen #8 Bridge at Remagen….ok war movie #7 Where’s Poppa…first time I saw this one I laughed alot…not so much the second time. #5 No Way To Treat A Lady is a good unknown thriller #4 Quiller Memorandum….good spy movie #3 Ship of Fools…great cast alright movie #2 King Rat….not as good as I thought it was going to be #1 Va Woolf….considered classic but not one I like at all….so that is 17 of the 30. Voted up and shared.”
Re the Oscar trivia, “nominated for every Academy Award category in which it was eligible” did not know that, was it nominated for editing, music and cinematography too? interesting.
Thanks again for the share. Much appreciated.
