Hey Dan. Thanks for the thoughts on Treat Williams. I have seen 22 of his movies, so I am almost double digits behind you. I would have thought more…but maybe I am getting all the times I watched Hair on HBO, mixed up in my head. Hair is one of the few musicals I like….joining Paint Your Wagon, Moulin Rouge and Grease on my short list of favorite musicals.
Not surprised he is so highly rated on the Oracle list…he has been making movies steadily for six decades. Looks like the veteran Robert Duvall is his most frequent Oracle co-star. As for his Oscar winning co-stars….18 is a really low total for someone who has made so many movies. Good stuff as always.
IN part one of my Treat Williams post today I said that Treat’s character in Final Verdict , the real life turn of the 20th century lawyer Earl Rogers was the son of famous writer Adela Rogers St JohnS.
That’s wrong: the relationship was the other way around as Adela was Earl’s daughter. Earl defended 77 murder cases in court and lost only 3. Earl is said to have been the inspiration for the fictional Perry Mason and Adela woked as Earl’s assistant for most of those cases – ie she was her dad’s ‘Della Street’!
Sorry for the original misinformation; but my excuse is that I have been so excited at seeing someone posting comments about Joel Hirschhorn on this site that my mind hasn’t been working to its usual perfection.
Hey Bob….thanks for the correction. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
The 5 Treat Williams movie in the tables above that I have seen
Things to do in Denver when You’re Dead
Mulholland Falls
Marathon Man
Hollywood Ending
The Deep End of the Ocean
The last-named is my favorite – a sentimental feelgood weepie about a stolen infant later in life returned to his parents, an offering which I am sure Steve would absolutely loathe.
Treat has a current reported net worth of $10 million but that’s sure to grow because he continues to keep busy. Since 2016 until this year he has been in 47 episodes of the TV series Chesapeake Shores; and this year he has also appeared in the TV mini-series We Own the City
He has 2 projects at post production stage: a theatrical movie called The Dougherty Gang; and a further TV series entitled Nightbirds “A serial killer in NYC hunts down victims whose social media profiles don’t match their real live.” Sounds as if it could be the next big thing over Christmas at the Lensman’s – bring your own carving knives!!
Treat has the supporting role of Uncle Dave in Nightbirds and all of his roles mentioned just now are supporting ones, which tends to be par for the course for a performer in his/her early seventies. Only our Myrna bucks that trend: she was in support career-long!
Anyway as I am a big Williams fan this new page is seriously “Voted Up.” particularly for its extensive coverage of Treat’s big-screen career.
Hey Bob…tally count….Dan with the easy win with 31 movies seen, I am sitting at 22 and you are at 5. I have seen 4 of the ones you have seen….only missing The Deep End Of The Ocean. Good information on his upcoming projects and his net worth. Poor Ms. Loy always being picked on…lol.
The appearance of this new page has particularly pleased me because although I haven’t seen many of his big screen offerings [see Part 2] Treat -who has always reminded me of tennis Legend Jimmy Connors – is one of my fave TV performers.
On television I was most impressed with Treat as the murderous racketeer Alan Masters in 1992’s TV crime movie Deadly Matrimony (released over here under the title Shattered Promises].
It was one of Brian Dennehy’s Jack Reed detective series of TV movies and it runs for over 3 hours so that as Treat has throughout the film the co-dominant role along with Dennehy as the incorruptable cop Reed it is good value for Treat’s fans. [PS I loved Dennehy himself in ALLl of the Jack Reed series and am on the lookout for reruns of it].
I also vividly recall Treat as the son of Charlie Bill Stuart [aka Glenn Ford] in the TV movie Final Verdict. In it Treat plays the real-life Earl Rogers the celebrated and notorious lawyer who was at the top of his profession at the turn of the 20th century. Earl was the son of the famous Adela Rogers St John the American journalist and writer who also wrote a number of screenplays for silent movies.
The film isn’t up to much [IMDB rates it at just 58%] but for me Treat is always worth watching as of course is the Great ‘Charlie Bill’ Ford in the paternal supporting role. Also although not well-known the movie actually for some reason gets a mention in 1996’s Striptease starring Demi Moore Willis, a movie that no doubt gets hauled down often from the Cogerson bookshelf for repeat viewings –
I wonder does Striptease nestle on the Cogerson book/DVD shelf beside 1983’s Rating the Movie Stars which I see some innocent soul mentioned on this site yesterday. Maybe it’s telling that he/she wants to remain “in the shadows”!
Hey Bob. Thanks for the responses to our Treat Williams page. I would have guessed you would have talked about his tv movies….but figured it would be his version of Streetcar Named Desire. I do not think I have heard of any of the movies you referenced. Funny stuff about Rating The Movie Stars.
BOB ROY to BRUCE REPLY

“Poor Ms. Loy always being picked on…lol,” BRUCE writes to me yesterday. Yet maybe Myrna herself might well have subscribed to the old Hollywood adage that ANY publicity is better that no publicity. Certainly if I had made back in her time my comments about her I would have anticipated a thank you letter from her!!
“The film lasts for 1 hr 51 minutes; I’m on the screen for 1hr 50 mins; and in the other minute I’m in the wash room – but the others in the room are all talking about me for ever second I’m in that wash room!” – Jack Palance boasting in a TV interview about his long part in The Big Knife 1955.
HOWEVER
“It’s a long part but a lousy one.” Monty Clift talking about his role in 1959’s Suddenly Last Summer.
As it is Myrna has become a Cogerson cult figure ; so maybe she would be pleased enough with that.
I was aware that Treat had done Streetcar BRUCE but had forgotten about that as of course I have never seen Treat’s outing as Stanley. Thanks BRUCE for including the reference as I would have mentioned it myself had I recalled it at the time of my posting.
You know WH, I gather that Tony Quinn and Anthony Franciosa along with Treat all played Stanley in the stage/TV versions of Streetcar. I have therefore often wondered why Tennessee Williams singled-out Sly to veto for the Stanley role in a proposed big-screen remake of Streetcar which never materialized after Tennessee’s intervention.
Perhaps Williams considered that Stallone was an inferior actor to all the others-and in my Amateur Film Buff’s group there is a school of thought that leans in that direction. Maybe he objected to Sly’s proposal to remake it for the big screen as that would draw direct comparisons with Brando to Sly’s disadvantage. Or possibly its because Sylvester drew attention to himself by making a big deal of prospectively himself as Stanley whereas the others just quietly got on with it under the radar.
“Once in New Orleans there was a streetcar – and it was named Desire.”
