Miss deHavilland has now safely arrived in heaven & reconciled with sisterJoan Fontaine. I'm expecting many reminiscences from @ACraigInParis on this grand lady, who hosted him, regaled him w. stories of Erroll Flynn & "Ronnie" Reagan, & made it to 104. — PolitiTweet.org

Loved scene in Naked City's "The Island Almost Sank" in which musicians union members are jailed (charge unknown but probably they were disruptive or drunk at their convention) & they start playing instruments--driving Parker nuts! I bet James Caeser Petrillo watched & loved it! — PolitiTweet.org

John Gizzi @johngizzi

Roger C. Carmel, outstanding character actor, played a heavy for 3rd time in "Naked City" ("The Island Almost Sank")-- & was truly a sadistic creep, as part-time security guard who kills drunken conventioneers for kicks. Arcaro had his number. — PolitiTweet.org

John Gizzi @johngizzi

Naked City's "The Fault in Our Stars" brilliantly captures world of NY theatre --rt. down to actors waiting outdoors for openings in plays. Alvin Epstein, an accomplished stage actor, shines as acerbic director who berates his actor Hollis (Bruce Dern, inexplicably unaccredited). — PolitiTweet.org

John Gizzi @johngizzi

"The Fault in Our Stars" is one of Naked City's best (so far). Roddy McDowell captures the derangement of cab-killer Don Benton & for 1st time, the 65th Precinct uses an undercover policewoman--the doomed Betty Harkness (Patricia Bosworth, later biographer of Clift, Brando, etc.) — PolitiTweet.org

Naked City's "Sweet Prince of Delancy St." featured young-&-coming Robt. Morse (great as J. Pierpont Finch in "How to Succeed in Business" & other musicals) as a kid in trouble trying to protect his Dad & as his slippery "best friend" Lester....DUSTIN HOFFMAN! — PolitiTweet.org

On "Naked City," an exasperated Lt. Parker tells the 65th Precinct's scientist-doctor (Wm. Cottrell), who is using 9-cylinder words to explain something about a corpse, :"Are you paid by the word?"--foreshadowing, I'm sure, a future exchange between @realDonaldTrump & Dr. Fauci. — PolitiTweet.org

Albert Dekker, electronics CEO Mr. Crafton in Naked City's "Kettle of Precious Fish" (written by the very versatile William Conrad) had something quite unique in common w. SW (Smarter Wife). Can anyone guess what it is? — PolitiTweet.org

Spellbound by Naked City's "Kettle of Precious Fish," w. 4 uber-evil thugs kidnapping 7 wealthy electronics execs who are holding board mtg. in a yacht. Truly moved as execs. vote to try to overpower thugs by using flaregun & kitchen knives. — PolitiTweet.org
