Linda Gray said the leg in the poster is her leg.

To #40. Hoffman in “Tootsie”. He was good.

Re “The Graduate”. If I remember the scene at the church correctly, we had a nice Jewish kid use a large crucifix to block the door from opening so they could flee.

And yes, Katherine Ross was a very beautiful woman.

Another tearjerker would be “Goodby Columbus” with Richard Benjamin and Allie McGraw (another pretty young woman).

If anyone is interested, ask me to tell the story of how I entered the movie theater that night and what happened in the pizza parlor later. Laz would be jealous.

I tried to watch it about a year ago. Boring as heck and the dialogue was trite. I watched about a half hour and turned it off. I really don’t see the admiration for this movie.

Never seen it, never want to see it. Urban Yankee Baby Boomer commits adultery with Silent-Generation married woman? Doesn’t sound too compelling to me.

It's a good movie. Better than the special effects laden crap they produce now-a-days.

If a movie doesn't have stunt people and special effects then it is probably very good(with the exception of 'bonnet movies').

>>>And yes, Katherine Ross was a very beautiful woman<<<

I still remember the scene with Robert Redford in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid when her character was introduced. What a hottie.

She didn’t age well, but there was something about her. Of course, I saw the Movie for the first time when I was 13.

I believe she is still Married to Sam Elliot. I wonder if she drives a Dodge Ram Pickup Truck.

Now Hoffman would be arrested for stalking.
