Hey bob cox…your mini-review has me really interested in seeing What A Way To Go. I will have to track it down soon.
I have seen 6 Robert Cummings Movies. Those six movies are LUCKY ME, TELL IT TO THE JUDGE, WHAT A WAY TO GO, BEACH PARTY, STAGECOACH, and DIAL M FOR MURDER.
DIAL M FOR MURDER is a great movie in which Mr. Cummings gave a wonderful performance.
Just my opinion but WHAT A WAY TO GO is a great comedy and one of the more underrated movies of the 1960s. Shirley MacLaine deserved an Oscar for her performance in that film.
FYI, Robert Cummings is the father of actor Tony Cummings who was known for his portrayal of Rick Holloway on the American soap opera, ANOTHER WORLD, back in the early 1980s.
Hey Greg. Thanks for visiting our Robert Cummings page. I have only seen one of the six movies you have seen…..but I love Dial M For Murder. I will have to check out What A Way To Go….a great cast for sure. Good trivia on his son and Another World…I did not know that information. Good stuff.
greg, i love what a way to go. i love Shirley MacLaine. what a cast, what fun. great comment.
