I remember that SNL skit! IIRC it was “What if Spartacus had a Piper Cub at the final battle with the Romans?” Kirk Douglas is directing his rebel troops from the tiny cockpit.
His views on gun control utterly suck. In 1975 he defended his gun toting movie roles with “you don’t understand, this is about make believe”. His friend replied, “No, Kirk, this is about make money!”
Anyway, glad to know Kirk Douglas is still with us.
Geez! I completely forgot to mention Kirk Douglas as Gen. Mickey Marcus in “Cast a Giant Shadow”, about the building of the `Burma Road’ supply route between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem during the 1948 Israeli war for independence. He was superb because he put his full heart into it.
Back when SNL was actually funny.
Remember “What if Superman came to Earth and Landed in Nazi Germany?”
He would be “Uberman.”
