"The Ugly"

[smiles 0]

Picked up the classic "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" on DVD and we all watched it last night.
In the past I wasn't so interested in "The Ugly's" acting and started to wonder who this actor was as couldn't recognize him in any other movies I've seen.

Wow!
As the Hollywood legend once known to a generation of Batman-iacs as Mr. Freeze Eli Wallach is a distinguished actor with a 46-year career spanning both Hollywood and European movies. The 84-year-old made his name as a gunslinging bandit in western classics The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and The Magnificent Seven and later appeared as a doomed mafia don in The Godfather III. Since a stint as Batman's arch-villain on the 1960s TV show, the Emmy-award-winning Wallach has appeared with Clint Eastwood, Steve McQueen, Clark Gable, Robert DeNiro, Jack Nicholson and even Captain Kangaroo. His career has taken him from Cambodia to Crete.

"I started doing Mexican bandits, I switched over to mafia and Italian movies and went into half-breeds and Greeks and now I'm in my old Jewish stage," said Wallach, who recently played a rabbi in Keeping The Faith. "Movies are a young man's game. I'm happy just as long as I can keep going."

I recognize him for sure now-
Mystic River- the liquor store owner- Tough Guys- Leon B. Little, Two Jakes- Cotton Weinberger- The Hunter- Ritchie Blumerthal.

The insults that the ugly hurls at blondie in that movie are priceless. One of those movies that should be on everyone's "must watch" list.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. --Douglas Adams
