cameron mitchell my favorite year

[@Reveusefrancaise]

Cameron Mitchell is my great uncle, and I could not be more proud to say that I am related to him --- especially since I was also an actress for 20 years and really looked up to his work. This is a fine example. I'm sorry I never got to meet him - he died before I was able to get out to California in 1994. RIP Uncle Cam.

[@lemorab1]

Your great uncle was a brilliant actor. I saw him on the stage in the late 1950's starring in "The King And I" with Giselle MacKenzie in Los Angeles. They were both excellent. As he was in everything he ever did.

[@kevinbutler1955NYC]

Your great uncle was a wonderful performer..Reveuse..I'm sorry that I never got to meet him..when he was still with us.

[@Musicvidsetc]

Are you aware that your great uncle is a hero and the unofficial mascot to a bunch of hack frauds in Milwaukee known as RedLetterMedia"?

[@Wagner-p7e]

Thanks for your entry-post.❤

[@57buickcentury]

This is for me the funniest part of the movie - Joe Bologna quickly studying and picking up Cameron Mitchell's little mannerisms and repeating them - in mirror image! (A tribute to Groucho and Harpo's mirror routine?)

[@jeffballard7632]

Cameron Mitchell was so underrated, he could play ANYTHING......

[@f.r.wilson7603]

"Did you say that Carl? What a guy." That line was delivered so perfectly. So well-timed. Its just hilarious.

[@richdys]

The hat bit is classic. Richard Benjamins first time as director and this move is so well put together. Had forgetten about this scene. Classic.

[@Quackamagooska]

I love this film. I had it on VHS and now DVD. I'm always saying, "In my business, you never cut funny." Adolph Green as Leo makes the scene. The way he's tugging on his coat and chirping "Stan. Stan. STAN!" This is a perfect film.

[@jennifersman7990]

+Peter Haley (Peter the Gr8) Adolph Green also wrote the score for "On the Town", Who would've thought he could be so funny here

[@michaelwilliamybarra2409]

+jennifersman Actually he wrote the book and lyrics for "On the Town" with Betty Comden, the score was by Leonard Bernstein(The same guy who wrote the music for "West Side Story"). He also performed as Voltaire/Dr. Pangloss and Martin in the 1989 concert production of "Candide"(Also with music by Bernstien), along side Jerry Hadley and June Anderson.

[@jennifersman7990]

+Michael Ybarra Well, at least had a 50/50 shot at getting right LOL

[@boston2lalaland]

I absolutely agree! I’d worn through my VHS & have replaced my DVD many times, as so often a friend borrows or watches it with me to see why I love it so & inevitably they love it too. Everything about that film is memorable. My favorite line? The scene with Alan Swann [my favorite of all Peter O’Tooles many brilliant roles] & Lil [the awesome Selma Diamond] in the ladies room... First time I saw the film, when it was new & in the movie theatre, I giggled & blushed as I laughed out loud. “So is this ma’am, but every now and then I have to run a little water through it.” His assured resolve in his logic & her humored appreciation of it. Wow.

[@kevinbutler1126]

I was lucky enough to meet Adolph Green in NYC..years ago..he told me that"We did a great job on that film..Kevin..Peter,Joe,Bill,Mark..all of us..had a wonderful time making that film"..I told him you really captured the spirit of Max Liebman and Mr.Bolonga is the embodiment of Sid Caesar.

[@nickmartin8495]

“You see it’s gone and I feel good”- perfect

[@jahbad01]

The sound effects in the background are icing on the cake.

[@moviemonk1000]

Cameron Mitchell is spot on in this film. What a part. " The Removal Business" described by Mr Mitchell is just great. This film works on superbly on all levels a very funny film...yet sensitive to the themes of the past.

[@MrCrchandler]

I loved Cameron Mitchell in every role I ever saw him act. I can certainly understand why you admired him.

[@DjJeffRush]

Love this scene.. One of the funniest in the film

[@thehappyhedonist]

This scene is simply hilarious! Perfect! Brilliant!

[@シルバケビン]

Close the fucking door !!!

[@Quackamagooska]

I love this film. I quote this scene all the time. "You know why we're gonna keep doing it? Because it's funny and, in my business, you never cut funny." "That's you, Carl." I love how King pulls Leo in front of him and then pretends Leo is holding him back.

[@arkady714]

This is scene, as a matter of fact this entire film is Yiddish theater.

[@annem8152]

one of my favorites too. I saw it 5 times in the theater!

[@puplover7991]

Love the traffic accident mayhem when the stuff goes out the window!

[@arkady714]

"King Kaiser"...as opposed to Sid Ceasar? Ha! Uncanny!

[@daywalker48603]

"Did you say that, Carl? Whatta guy!"

[@dank1j]

my favorite line here as well. I hear this line in my head whenever I listen to Obama tell me how to think.

[@daywalker48603]

+dankbubba lol!

[@stephaniestanley8041]

Does anyone realize the perfectly written scene and performances by all. It's unbelievable timing and execution!!

[@stephengordon4405]

One of best comedy moments in a film ever 😂😂😂

[@michaellevine2566]

The Brooklyn dinner scene is brilliant! If you have not seen this movie it is a MUST. A GREAT KZbin clip is to search peter o'toole letterman entrance. If you like o'toole you'll love this!! AND REMEMBER he did this, in all likelihood, s*itfaced. Just like the character in the movie, he is LARGER THAN LIFE!!

[@kevinbutler1126]

I agree with what Mr.Mitchell has stated..Peter should have gotten an Oscar for best actor for his performance in this film comedy..but..his work in"My Favorite Year's ignored by The movie academy.

[@jennifersman7990]

You’re right, comedy has ale been unjustly overlooked by the Academy. Peter O’Toole had the misfortune of being nominated in very competitive years and the best shot he had at winning was for Lawrence of Arabia but the Oscar went to Gregory Peck , I think the reasoning was that for a first time nominee he was great and he’d win the next time, unfortunately that never happened

[@MStrat1106]

You should be justly proud of your great uncle; he was versatile and skilled in comedy or drama, and far finer at his trade than most of today's acting crop. There are wonderful stories revering him in Ray Milland's autobiography, "Wide Eyed in Babylon," especially his love of coffee (he had over a dozen coffee makers he traveled with, according to Milland) and his razor-sharp, very funny appraisal of acting as a trade.

[@billkalivas9750]

For our first date I took my girlfriend to this movie. That was in 1984. One of my favorite movies and my favorite wife.

[@eheaven3]

Great movie. Great scene. Great actors. And no matter how many times I watch it I still LOL.

[@atimtambaby]

Did you catch Keith Olberman using the line on his program, "Did you say that Carl? What a guy!" He was taling about the nut-case gubernatorial candidate from New York.

[@gregnatsch8787]

I’ve been known to use that line. The sarcasm was lost on them! My favorite scene

[@sagn]

STAN!

[@lskarin]

@Reveusefrancaise Your great uncle was versatile. I remember him in low budget dogs like Minnesota Clay (the flick goes by a different name in some listings) and his performance as Jigger in "Carousel." Nice body of work

[@paulthomson8824]

i remember him in Hombre as the sheriff

[@jefferyballard894]

"....goin' bad honey..." ..... nobody could ever deliver a line like that but Cameron Mitchell....he was one of the greats...

[@MOONSIP2]

I loved him in "Love Me or Leave Me" (was that the name of it?) with Doris Day!

[@lemorab1]

Yes, that was the name of it. Cagney, Doris and Mitchell were all never better. That was Doris Day's ultimate performance. She could dance, sing, do comedy and drama. I saw it when I was 7 years old in 1955 and again many years later (2005) and I've never forgotten it.

[@tallpaul521]

@Reveusefrancaise Great scene by your great uncle. He was a a classic.

[@moormagic1]

My favorite scene.

[@mikeclifford8360]

Joe Bologna was so great in this movie!

[@xmikejohnson914x]

.Love this scene

[@beckerman88]

Very funny scene from a great movie.

[@JohnBrown-pq9tj]

Interestingly, every day ends with a Tums festival for Joseph Bologna, as well.

[@stevepiantedosi2046]

Dis you say that Carl? What a guy!

[@peggypenny1]
