1. I lost my childhood-bred affection for him when I found out what

a right-winger he was.

[WI_DEM]

2. but no more so than Jimmy Stewart and perhaps even less so

[Aristus]

3. I'd always got the impression that Jimmy Stewart was more of a

moderate Republican. I could be wrong. They were both childhood movie faves of mine.

[WI_DEM]

6. I still like 'em both

I think they were both republicans but they represented a different republican party than we have today.

16. My thoughts also.

4. On "My Three Sons", he only worked five days a month

They would shoot all of his scenes for several episodes in one week. The rest of the time, if there were any shots of anyone talking to him, they had to speak to an empty chair.

Nice work, if you can get it.

5. I didn't know he was a right-winger.

It seems the character he played in The Caine Mutiny didn't require as much acting as it appeared.

8. "Uncle Bill" on Family Affair had the same deal.

Both Freddie DeCordova shows.
Made for a lot of long, drawn out reaction shots.

7. "Double Indemnity"

Walter Neff: You'll be here too?
Phyllis: I guess so, I usually am.
Walter Neff: Same chair, same perfume, same anklet?
Phyllis: I wonder if I know what you mean.
Walter Neff: I wonder if you wonder.

19. One of the greatest ever . I, also, like "Body Heat" its 1980 re-make -

one of the few that almost rivaled the original.
