Greetings and all sundry! Having covered the early career (read Part I on Mr. Boothe) of this exceptional character actor.

May 2014 Blind Spot Film: The Apartment (1960)
The Apartment was supposed to be my April Blindspot movie, but I mistakenly thought I had Some Like It Hot on my list instead. Surely it wasn't at all a waste that I got to watch another Billy Wilder movie, but I have to admit I was not as enamored with that one as most do. The Apartment …

Forgotten Christmas-themed Movie: Fitzwilly (1967)
Merry Christmas, all and sundry! Taking a brief respite from the strategy of "What?"s and "When?"s in regards to baking family Christmas gifts. I've fallen back upon a request from our Hostess regarding favorite holiday-hemed films. While A Christmas Story and It's A Wonderful Life hold their proper place high in the firmament. And have …
