[@tedthesailor172]

My old man was a fan of gangster flicks and took me along to see this at the movies. I'd never seen a psychopath before and Eli Wallach absolutely scared the pants off me. That scene where he turns from urbane pleasantry to doll-shredding black fury as the kid bursts into tears was one of the creepiest things I'd seen at 7 years of age. It stuck in my mind for years. I don't think I've seen Eli play a nice guy ever. The "Lineup" in the title was obviously a reference to the brief, but barely relevant lineup of possible suspects. I always thought it referred to the incomplete road where the villains were ultimately trapped and killed. I'm sure this and the similarly vintaged `Kiss Me Deadly' were the principal inspirations of Tarantino's `Pulp Fiction'. Many thanks for sharing...

[@rschreck]

Your welcome! In addition to this feature film, I also have on my channel some of the episodes from the TV series. I have several of them, and will load new ones periodically.

[@RebekahCurielAlessi]

In Holiday, the moderately recent Nancy Meyers movie, Mr Wallach plays a lovable codger who teaches Kate Winslet to have gumption.

[@deaddocreallydeaddoc5244]

The greatest thing about this film is that it displays many locations in San Francisco that are long gone, such as the famous Sutro Baths, Museum, etc. It was destroyed by a big fire and then a harsh storm in the early 60s. I dined in the Cliff House Restaurant a number of times in the 80s. Now, it's closed. I belonged to the once Olympic-level Letterman Fencing Club on the Presidio, both of which are now a thing of the past. San Francisco itself, is now a thing of the past, as well. Even if it is revived, somewhat, it will never be the same. All that made it wonderful is gone.

[@henrybrowne7248]

Folks, this is a real gem. I watched it a few years ago here and it has run through my mind since. Shows how brilliant Eli Wallach is, is violent as hell[WARNING], and funny as hell at the same time, and actually rather realistic. One of Stirling Silliphant's best screenplays in my opinion. CHECK THIS OUT.

Don Siegel is such a terrific director. His Invasion of the Body Snatchers is my all time favorite sci fi. The scene in the skating rink is so perfect it should be in a textbook . Vaughn Taylor as "the man" is truly terrifying without almost saying a word. Wallach had to be talked into a big payday and vacation in SF to take the part. I believe this was only his second film role and he didn't want to play a villain.

[@RebekahCurielAlessi]

He's so completely wonderful as a nearly soulless creep for whom one still roots.

[@Ciscodays]

Siegel directed a number of Eastwood films, including Dirty Harry, The Beguiled, Escape from Alcatraz and Two Mules for Sister Sarah. He also directed Wayne's last flick, The Shootist. His career began at Warner Bros, making montages for such films as Casablanca.

[@willieluncheonette5843]

I'm very familiar with the name Eli Wallach, but was only able to put a face to the name just now after doing a Google Image search, and I only recognized his face when he was a much older man. I usually have that problem with character actors, so he must not have had many leading roles. What a great actor he was in this movie.

[@paulkitt2376]

Classic directed by Don siegal who went on to direct dirty Harry with Clint Eastwood. Maybe Eli wallach best performance and that's saying something.

AS GOOD AS IT GETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@infant50]

A bit of irony: at about 32:57, Eli Wallach is advised by Bob Bailey (aka Johnny Dollar in the radio series) to visit the Sanders (couple) at 9020 Jackson, and at 33:09 Wallach declines to write down the address, saying he "never writes anything down". But, at 36:24, Wallach instructs his driver to go to 2090 Jackson, obviously transposing the numbers! Really surprised the director and/or proofreaders didn't catch this mistake. Initially, I thought maybe this would be consequential, but they arrived at the Sanders residence without an issue. So apparently, this error was never realized.

[@kathleenmckeithen118]

Great movie! Eli Wallich, always at his best but poor Mr. Drysdale didn't have as much hair as he did in "The Beverly Hillbillies". It was wonderful to see San Francisco in its heyday back when people by and large respected the law and each other. Social skills were what they ought to be and society was geniable. I was ten years old in 1958 and remember this time in America, back when it was America, with fondness. My thoughts went to how a wide open border erases the need for drug smugglers to go to such lengths. At nearly 76 years of age, I can't help but see old movies and compare those days with America now.
