Saw a nicely restored digital print of Duddy Kravitz this afternoon. Seemed slightly more patchy to me today than when I used to watch it over and over on TV in the '70s--the lead actress is a bit bland, for one thing--but excellent nonetheless. Denholm Elliot's Bar Mitzvah film was as insanely funny as ever. Don't know if this is Dreyfuss's very best performance, but it's right in there with American Graffiti, Jaws, and Close Encounters. They had a Skype hookup with Ted Kotcheff after the film--you'd never guess he's in his 80s. He had a funny story about Mordecai Richler and Saidye Bronfman from when the film opened in '74:
Bronfman: "Well, Mordecai, you're looking well for a St. Urbain slumboy."Richler: "And you're looking well, Saidye, for a bootlegger's widow."

Dreyfuss badly wants to do Duddy II, Ted Kotcheff says. NO.
I forgot how much Dreyfuss sweats in that movie, esp the first 20 minutes.

Screened Inserts last night. X-rated chamber film from '76 about the peep show business in the 1930s w/Dreyfuss doing excellent scenery chewing as a washed up silent film director reduced to a six picture deal filming porn in his living room for producer Bob Hoskins. The rest of cast is as follows: Veronica Cartwright, Brian Davies, Jessica Harper (and Jessica Harper's nipples*). Would make a good double feature w/Day of The Locust.

In re: thread title. Eh. Last year I saw Dreyfuss in a 1980 movie, The Competition and he had a sort of boyish charm in that, which some might find sexy. But his co-star Amy Irving, now she was one attractive young woman in 1980!

The Goodbye Girl, 1977, was nominated against Annie Hall for best actor, best actress and best picture at the 1978 academy award. He won best actor, but Annie Hall won the other two awards
I guess maybe it was also an acknowledgement of his role that year in Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Deadline reports that he also said “you shouldn’t be listening to some 10-year-old who says they want to be a boy instead of a girl”. The Boston Globe reports that he continued by saying that allowing such young people to transition “was bad parenting and that someday those kids might change their minds.”
