In Naked City's "Bridge Party," Albert Dekker is self-important CEO. A few yrs later, when Dekker co-starred in "Wild Bunch," a co-worker described him as "completely nuts"--which he proved in late '60's when found dead of asphixiation w. foul words written on him in lipstick. — PolitiTweet.org

Naked City's "Bridge Party" is a heartwarming story of a retired postal worker who loves sailing & stands up to shipping execs who made promises to his father & now won't keep them. Vaudevillian James Barton glows in the part. — PolitiTweet.org

@stevehosid My father thought of Neville Brand as a war hero, buy I considered him a fine actor. He was an outstanding Capone in "The Untouchables" & I bet a superb Willie Stark in TV's "All the King's Men"--as I'm sure Maureen Stapleton was smashing as Sadie Burke. So where do we find it? — PolitiTweet.org

Maureen Stapleton, who won acting awards in middle & twilight yrs, superb as Mickey Rooney's stressed out wife in Naked City's "Ooftus Doofus" When he threatens to blow up boxing arena, cops want her to calm him down, she says he's stupid, humiliated her & she'll file for divorce — PolitiTweet.org

Mickey Rooney is, as always, superb as grocery clerk who feels ignored & wants revenge on society w. pranks (like electrifying hairdryer at salon where his wife works) & writing letters to Mayor & papers signed "Ooftus Goofus"--the eponymous name for this episode of "Naked City") — PolitiTweet.org

Marisa Pavan, identical twin sister of doomed actress Pier Angeli, is 1st-rate as much-younger wife of the Italian shoemaker in Naked City's '"Requiem For A Sunday Afternoon." When she announces to 2 young men she wants to run "barefoot in the park," did it inspire the play? — PolitiTweet.org

Touched in Naked City's "Requiem for a Sunday Afternoon" to see when Mr. Scarzi goes to church to ask pastor about anullment of his marriage, priest says he shld"ve thought about that before he got married...& one can see altar "ad orientsm" & communion rails, & candles. LOVE IT! — PolitiTweet.org

In Naked City's "Requiem for a Sunday Afternoon," so beloved in Little Italy is shoemaker Anthony Scarzi that when he headbutts a guy out the window after catching him making out w. Mrs. Scarzi, no one will testify against him--not even defenestrated guy..played by BURT REYNOLDS! — PolitiTweet.org

@MJMcKean @LisaBeachLA Great to learn so much from both of you, & glad you knew Lois Nettleton.

Lois Nettleton must've been a casting director's dream. On Naked City, she went from being a spinster in "Dream W'out Sleep" to being such an attractive young lady in "Show Me the Way Home" that a guy w. binoculars watches her go by as she walks home @LisaBeachLA — PolitiTweet.org

In Naked City's "Show Me the Way to Go Home," Burt Brinckerhoff-- a stellar stage actor & director--is so convincing as the disturbed teenager that you say from the start: "He's going to end up in Bellavue." Celia Adler, cousin of Luther & Stella, is moving as lonely old lady. — PolitiTweet.org

@ACraigInParis Don't know, but I doubt it. Whole ctry was focused on whether Henry Wallace wld be nominated for VP &, if not, whether FDR wld keep his promise to decline nomination. Uptight & chainsmoking, FDR had copies of acceptance & decline speech & where he delivered them was secondary. — PolitiTweet.org

@ACraigInParis Hatch Act was passed in 1939, but, as @realDonaldTrump said yesterday, it applies to neither the Prez. nor the VP. — PolitiTweet.org
