Did you notice throughout that scene that Arnold Stang is not able to really move one wrist and forearm? it had been broken previous to filming and he did the entire thing in a fixed cast.

I think I had seen Mr. Winters on youtube explaining that, and how concerned he was about not injuring the guy even further. By the way,for fans of the movie, there's a newish Criterion DVD that adds back a bunch of lost or strayed film. I think it was like 30 or 40 minutes!

Arnold Stang: "What a chunk of chocolate."
 
Re: Dead!!!!

Reports are that Jim Fregosi has been taken off of life support after a series of strokes. He was 71.
 
Re: Dead!!!!

He's dead. from what I heard. Sorry, no link right now. But IIRC, the Braves tweeter said it.
 
Re: Dead!!!!

Others are retracting that he's already dead, but that's certainly where we're headed, and sooner rather than later.

What they did is restore the original 40 minutes that had been removed before the first release. It is really a wonderful job done by the people at Criterion. The new release Blu Ray is incredible. There are just some of the older movies that come back to life with the new restoration process and the Blu Ray versions are worth owning.
