Still Crazy After These Years

Bacall and I have no exes. And no regrets. But sometimes an unsolicited memory creeps in.

The Last Picture Show - One of my all-time fav movies. Ben Johnson did not want to do this scene. He only likes a few sentences at a time. Bogdanovich called John Houston to convince Johnson to do the scene. Johnson cursed Bogdanovich for putting the old man on him. The scene won him an award. [*]

The Water Tank Scene.

[*] If that does not make sense to you, without John Houston there would have never been a John Wayne or a Ben Johnson.
