Outstanding acting by Robert Blake here. Especially his monologue about his 'old lady'

[@xfhghe]

His monologue sounded almost autobiographical.

[@feralbluee]

nice to see Robert Blake as a young actor - he is very good and rivetting partly because of his inner depth - problems he definitely had. we all have our demons, we also have our deeply human souls which bring us above them as much as we can. after a horrible childhood, Blake struggled, but he got through. I loved Baretta - it was a really good show because of him. i do hope he is well and getting enjoyment out of life - here's to ya, Robert. . .

I looked in the comments to see what was said about Robert Blake. He overcame a lot of troubles. In this show he looks almost as young as he did in the Little Rascals.

I always liked Robert Blake, he was born in 1933m the same year as me, I am 86 now. Blake was in movies since he was 5 years old and played many excellent roles and I enjoyed hos work. Too bad that he wound up marrying a floozy gold digger !

One of the best episodes I have seen so far. As usual, Blake's performance was fascinating to watch.

[@movierun]

Very moving episode. Good writing and acting. Emotional dialogue and close-ups between the gypsy and Blake's character are really intense and well done. Superb direction by John Newland (who not only hosted but directed most of this series' episodes).

[@dianalovescolors]

Sometimes you get lucky and an actor or actress that you recognize pop up on this show or others like it. The story lines are so clever. Thanks for posting so many of them for all of us to enjoy.

[@cynthiahawkins2389]

Indeed, I agree. In the past few years, given Blake's legal troubles; it is truer than ever..Blake always had a real 'turbulence' about him. But, on the other hand, it does make him magnetic to watch - onscreen.

[@Carly8Corday]

He always strikes me as a sweet, generous, little bit needy sometimes, boy. In IN COLD BLOOD though, he frightened me into a black postpartum depression with my second baby. Just not the kind of movie I should have been watching.

[@rogerquintanilla863]

So sad. Robert Blake was a much better then any actor today.

When I was 5 to 8 years old I remember watching this show all the time with my Mom late at night. It made my eyes water then... and it still does now. You should also know that my Mother has always had some kind of sociopathic experiences too. We connected watching this together. Brings back good memories of my Mom. I don't know how true the story's are, but they always seem real to me.

[@feralbluee]

Robert Blake - such a good actor. . . he seems content now, i hope so. . . The Gypsy actor was very good, too. he was around a lot :)

[@DAquingil]

If you liked Blake's performance in this, you'll love him in "In Cold Blood", the film based on Truman Capote's classic true crime novel about the killing of the Clutter family on their farm by two ex-cons.

[@PizzaFLIX]

In Cold Blood is by far his best performance.

[@A2D4]

That was one terrifying, excellent movie. Scott Wilson, who played Richard Hickock, said the first time he watched it in its entirety, he went into the bathroom and threw up. I guess that was due to the realism of this true horror story, in which both his and Robert Blake’s performances excelled.

I wish the cast members were listed in the description. There are a lot of interesting actors in them besides the most familiar ones. In this one, Johnny Seven, "Gypsy," is an especially interesting actor, for example. He got that nickname in the Army and kept it as an actor. He was in about 600 TV shows over the course of his 40-year career, so if you watch "vintage" TV, you've very likely seen him. He also was married to the same woman for 60 years, which is also impressive. I've had fun looking up the actors in these episodes and have come across the most interesting trivia, like there's a brother and sister in one episode playing husband and wife (sorry, but I forget which episode). I never saw this series as a kid, so it's been "a blast", as we used to say, binge watching episodes. I've shared a couple on my Facebook page so others can discover and enjoy them. Thank you for sharing this series!

I watched Blake in the mid 70s series Beretta, a great show with lots of ironic humor and good police stories. He did a great tv play in the 80s where he played Jimmy Hofer, acting brilliantly. He was built like a tank at 5"6'. He has however a dark side, as we all know!

The DVD movie of In Cold BLood, starring Philip Seymore Hoffman as Capote, Katherine Keen as Nell Parker Lee, the part of murderer Perry smith, was played by Clifton Collins, Jr. not Robert Blake... Guess there were two movies? This was directed by Bennett Miller.

[@PizzaFLIX]

The 1967 film "In Cold Blood" starring Robert Blake and Scott Wilson was based on the Novel written by Capote.

[@shirleysavitts9647]

I was not aware there were two films made of Truman Capote's book, In Cold Blood. However, as I stated, I guessed there were two made..Clifton Collins, Jr. was exceptional good also in his role as Perry. Sorry I missed the first one.. Who played Truman Capote in the first, I wonder. Thank you for answering and also all the GREAT movies you share.

[@shirleysavitts9647]

The DvD I am pertaining to showed the story of Truman and his many trips to the prison, getting to know the townspeople, getting attached to Perry// and his gradual decline afterwards. SO we are talking about the same title of a movie, but with different actors. ?? I have not seen the one with Robert Blake and Scott WIlson. Hope you get to view the one I have. Thank you so very much for your posts and interacting with your fans is just awesome.

[@A2D4]

shirley savitts There are 2 movies: “In Cold Blood” with Robert Blake playing killer Perry Smith (made in the 60’s) in which there was no real Character playing Truman Capote. Just an unnamed journalist appearing periodically throughout the film. The other movie is entitled “Capote”, starring Philip Seymour Hoffman as Truman Capote. That movie focuses on the relationship between the real Capote & the real killer Perry Smith. Hoffman won the Oscar for that performance, which he 100% deserved. Both were excellent movies.
