Not the ideal look for a newsman, exactly, and it probably explains why he sought out another line of work.<br /><br />That said, I did like this picture a lot, especially David Doyle as Elliott Gould's boss at the newspaper, a real '40s throwback.<br />Also Telly Savalas as the desert pilot ("Keep your Goddamn head down!")<br />And Sam Waterston's nonstop gags as the third guy in the capsule (back then he was the least-known of the leads).<br />And David Huddleston and James Karen as smarmy politicos with their own agendas.<br />And on and on and on ...Mike Dorannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-23259227499595609562012-08-07T09:38:33.068-05:002012-08-07T09:38:33.068-05:00I liked that movie.I liked that movie.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-40428287710122699602012-08-07T08:14:21.479-05:002012-08-07T08:14:21.479-05:00No, that nonsense was very much in the thinner air...No, that nonsense was very much in the thinner air when CAP 1 came along to exploit it.Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-16016597473539641392012-08-07T07:12:10.623-05:002012-08-07T07:12:10.623-05:00Nope.

Gould and Streisand were married from 1963-1971 and the movie came out in 1978, 20 years before she married Brolin.<br /><br />I always wondered if this one fueled all the conspiracy theorists who believed (and still believe, I'd bet) that the Moon landing was faked.<br /><br />JeffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
