Probably started with them bragging about who'd been invited to more of Bugsy Siegel's Sunday afternoon barbecues . . . come to think of it, as Bugsy was usually on-set as the film's "principal financier", he was probably the one who broke up that fight!mongoII wrote:DISCORD in LA-LA LAND

P.S: Just noticed - looks like that might be Alan Hale trying to restrain Eddie, while Ward Bond settles down for a ringside seat behind him.
Re: *CANDIDS*
Klondike, it is reported that a fistfight developed on the set between stars Edward G. Robinson and George Raft when Raft spun Robinson around too hard for a scene in "Manpower".
I don't believe that the two ever mingled again after that incident. In fact Robinson refused a part in "Some Like It Hot" since Raft was also in the movie. Yet, Edward G. Robinson Jr. appeared in the film in a scene with Raft.

Jan Michael looks like Nick Nolte's bad step brother. Patrick looks like everyone wants to when they get that age.

Re: *CANDIDS*
I thought I read somewhere that J-M was ill, and maybe had had a stroke at some point.
Too bad if that's the case, but he's never been a favorite of mine -- too much like those self-regarding, arrogant pretty boys I knew in college (Tom Cruise is another one I can't take too much of). However, I thought he was very good in The Mechanic, as Charles Bronson's perfidious apprentice.

Re: *CANDIDS*
I can second that, Jude; I too had my snags in enjoying J-MV's performances, but in my case, that was always softeneded by his uncanny resemblence to my brother's son, who is only 3 years younger than myself. So I guess you could say I always regarded him with a sort of big-brother affection, though he's almost 10 years older than I am.jdb1 wrote: However, I thought he was very good in The Mechanic, as Charles Bronson's perfidious apprentice.
I would also opine, having seen him in about everything he's done, at one time or another, that where he ended up shining the brightest was in his role as Ernest Borgnine's hero-for-hire partner in the TV series "Airwolf".
How can you not groove on a decorated combat copper pilot who plays the cello to relax, resides in a beautiful cabin high in the Rockies and is named Stringfellow Hawk? {Oh yeah, he takes down bad guys in his spare time, too!}

I like all dogs but these aren't the kind of dogs I'd imagined Gary Coope would have.

Re: *CANDIDS*
Coop's two companions appear to be a Miniature Poodle, and a Havanese, although the one on the right could as well be a Shih Tzu, hard to say from the angle.
