Ah, 1978. And she had yet to find her true calling as either Colonel Deering or whatsername on Silver Spoons.

Who has a copy of the first Devo album? They reproduced that Glenn Ford slap. A guy wearing a JFK mask slapping a woman in a waitress uniform.

they're dancing, actually, in the video for "Secret Agent Man".

Wow...the images are pretty close, though (I tried googlin' that pic and couldn't find it. Well done!)

...and I apologize to Erin Grey because she happens to be very sensitive and I guess I just didn't know it at the time. I thought she liked it that way.

Alex: it's a screen capture from the "Complete Truth About De-Evolution" DVD. After my first post, I remembered I had it and figured the "slap" was on there somewhere. It took me a few minutes to find it, a few more minutes to figure out that Panther won't allow screen shots or Grab while the DVD player is running, and a few more minutes to find a screen-capture utility that would do what I want.

Did Glenn Ford get an RIP thread?

― Run Ruud Run (Ken L), Monday, 11 September 2006 00:00 (twenty years ago)

Might've. He passed during the pre-Labor Day server collapse.

I was roffling today at him shaking Vic Morrow vigorously at the end of "Blackboard Jungle." Not too convincing, but I guess they couldn't have a teacher punching a student, even if the student had just sliced the teacher's hand open with a switchblade.

(i mean gilda, duh)

I didn't remember that Rita Hayworth calls him Johnny in nearly every sentence she speaks.

Also, "Put The Blame On Mame" is the showstopper, but when she sings "Amado Mio" before joining the Ralph Bellamy-type character is really good too, especially the dancing at the end.

Also, the DP is one of the subjects of >this thread

for better for worse after a few film classes all i think about when i think about gilda is the homoerotic subtext ("subtext" is perhaps not strong enough a word).

Evening in Byzantium is a 1978 television movie produced by Glen A. Larson Productions and Universal Television, and directed by Jerry London, about the Cannes Film Festival being overtaken by terrorists. An image from this movie is when Glenn Ford slaps Erin Gray hard, with a rather smug expression on his face. It stars Glenn Ford, Edward James Olmos, Eddie Albert and Erin Gray. The film is loosely based on the novel of the same name by Irwin Shaw. Many have commented that the events portrayed in this film were an eerie foreshadowing of 9/11 because it portrayed a massive terrorist attack against America using hijacked airplanes as weapons.
