Alan Arkin - An appreciation
by Immo Sat Mar 14, 2009 7:49 am
If you look up the word undersung in the dictionary there's a wee pic of AA beside it
An incredibly funny actor that avoided both the pomposity of method and the vacuity of the star-system.
Like an edgier Jack Lemmon
Or America's Alec Guinness
He's a middle-aged fish wholesaler who lives with his mother in this one.
(This could be a various artists thread. A kinda praise-em-while-they're-still-drooling-and-doddery-but-not-dead-yet theme
)

Jesus! He said your gravy was poor not your judgement of actors.

He compulsively sprays his hands with cologne throughout the fillum
Being a fishmonger he's obsessed with the idea that his hands stink of fish
I don't think any of his liaisons end happily TBH
It's very true to life
He's dead good in this one too
Sheldon Kornplatt is a NY dentist whose daughter is shortly to marry Vince Ricardo's (Peter Falk's) son. Vince is an insanely eccentric and reckless CIA undercover operative with a freebooting approach to life which is in direct contrast to that of Alan Arkin's neurotic, uptight, molar-crunching character.
When Vince gets Shelly entangled in an undercover op... hilarity ensues
Better'n that sounds
Much better
Unavailable on DVD since forever

"If he has another pop at my gravy on them boards I'm comin out swingin
" She said...
"Ohhh for fukks sake... don't you ever shut up
"But that's just her stock response to anything I say about gravy
