Dead Celebrity (Part 1)

Now I’m reminded to check out Chu Chu and the Philly Flash, which I never got to see as a kid.

ETA: Okay, I watched it while doing some housecleaning. It turns out Siskel & Ebert considered it one of the “dogs” of 1981. A little dull, but with a stellar comedic actor lineup. Too bad. :man_shrugging:

This is a really dumb movie, but I loved Alan Arkin in it - So I Married an Axe Murderer. :sob:

Alan Arkin also wrote one of my most unsettling and favourite books as a child - “The Lemming Condition”

Nero also wrote the score for the 1963 Jane Fonda film “Sunday in New York” and made an appearance in the movie.

A film I always watch whenever it plays on TCM.
