the 1967 movie version, of “In the Heat of the Night”…
starring…
Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger, shown here with Lee Grant
Not to be confused with…
The 20-ish years later TV version, starring (former Archie Bunker ) Carroll O’Connor and Harold Rollins, though IIRC it moved on through several cast changes.
I remember it made some movie history…
when Sidney Poitier, as Detective Virgil Gibbs, slapped a rich white man who had made racist remarks, and who I believe had also slapped him first. It was considered quite shocking in 1967.
Yes… his powers of description are so minutely focused, and intense, I felt like he’d actually been everywhere he described… well, maybe not Mordor, exactly.
Cute kid, great pilot, brave solo flyer… turned Nazi sympathizer.
He wrote about “the Jewish problem.”
His wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, wrote that they considered moving into one of the beautiful homes in Berlin forcibly vacated by well-off Jewish families, because it would be a good place to raise their children.
Some of that stuff only came out a few years ago… though enough was known even back in the 30s, when he accepted a medal from Hitler.
He spoke out against the concentration camps, yet still wrote that the Nordic races had to guard against dilution by “Asiatics and Jews.”
He was a hero to my father… I’m glad he didn’t seem to know about it.
Dad never would buy a Ford because of Henry Ford’s antisemitism. But I read a quote from Ford about Lindbergh, saying whenever Charles comes out here, “we only talk about the Jews.”
No apologies necessary, in any case, even if you had posted it last week, which you didn’t. You keep this whole thing going, and we appreciate it!
I think it’s more recent than most of the other group pictures you’ve posted… Not that it’s recent, but the others were mostly in the 30s through 50s.
This one shows network stars attending the Paramount Pictures 75th Anniversary Party in Los Angeles, in January 1987.
The full list, according to a blog about Paramount:
From left to right
(front row): Martha Raye, Dana Andrews, Elizabeth Taylor, Frances Dee, Joel McCrea, Harry Dean Stanton, Harrison Ford, Jennifer Beals, Marlee Matlin, Danny de Vito.
(Second row) Olivia de Havilland, Kevin Costner, Cornel Wilde, Don Ameche, Deforest Kelley, Tom Cruise, Charlton Heston, Penny Marshall, Bob Hope, Victor Mature, Elizabeth McGovern, Robert de Niro.
(Third row) Andrew McCarthy, Henry Winkler, Anthony Perkins, Robert Stack, Mark Harmon, Faye Dunaway, Buddy Rogers, Gregory Peck, Debra Winger, Timothy Hutton.
(Fourth row) Jane Russell, Mike Connors, John Travolta, Janet Leigh, Charles Bronson, Ted Danson, Lou Gossett Jnr, Ryan O’Neal, Rhonda Fleming, Leonard Nimoy.
(Fifth row) William Shatner, Peter Graves, Molly Ringwald, Dorothy Lamour, Olivia Newton-John, Cindy Williams, Matthew Broderick, Gene Hackman, Walter Matthau, Robin Williams.
(Back row) Ali MacGraw, Burt Lancaster, Scott Baio, Rhea Perlman, Bruce Dern, James Caan, Glenn Ford, Fred MacMurray, Shelley Long, James Stewart. Photo by Terry O’Neill.
Even when I copied and pasted the list, I tried hard not to read it, cos I want to look at the picture when I’m more awake and see who I recognize then.
I got quite a few, I guess… but besides the ones I wasn’t that familiar with, there were more I knew, as actors, but not in this photo.
Some because they were out of context, some because they’d gotten so much older since the movies or shows I knew them from… Others just because it’s a rather unflattering photo.
A few faces seem immistakable no matter how old they get, or how unfamiliar the setting… like the lady in the front row, in the cream colored dress.
I know you have a problem with faces, but it’s extra overwhelming to look at a huge swarm of them.
Making it bigger, and looking at only a small section at a time, maybe just two or three faces, makes it easier.
That’s one time you’re at an advantage viewing it on a tablet, even a phone, because you can quickly enlarge a small section by spreading two fingers, so it fills the screen, then reduce it again, and try another section.
On the computer you have to focus on only the face you want to see, without letting the others distract you.
Forgive me, please, if all that sounds really basic, but honestly, I had to train myself.
Of course, I’ve never seen the actual series… I don’t have a TV, much less cable, so I can’t subscribe to BHO, even if I wanted to.
And besides, Stel said it was too violent for me.
But the poster is beautiful.
I know the humans followed, as usual, with their copydog version, which I’m told was even more violent…
And they stole her poster, too, and painted over the tops of her bones and made them into swords! How sad.
Meercat would pick the ball up in her mouth and start running towards me. She would stop about 5 – 10 feet away and snap her head to throw the ball back to me to catch. I miss her.
For a minute I thought it was one single picture and I was trying to figure out what was that big hole under the truck door. When I realized my error, I thought “I’ve seen ones that big here in the U.S.
BTW, that could be a car door, not a truck door.
I thought it was one picture till you said that…. with not only a very confusing, big empty space below the door , but a horrifically huge spider that was going to make me run away.

True love!

A definite illustration of the old saying, “Cheek by jowl”
,,
I know what that is.
And the fruit are delicious.
An x-ray of a bird, maybe??????
…with the nose at its peak. Of her beak.
yes, with an egg ready to be laid
That’s an egg…
The X-ray is showing its internal water tank.
,
,,,
This is the original version….
,.
I think he’s looking for a way out of the picture.
.,
My search reports that this is an actual photograph, of Wistman’s Wood, in Dartmoor National Park, in England.
it was taken by fine art photographer Neil Burnell.
People in the comments were saying it looks like an illustration for The Lord of the Rings… comparing to it to Fanghorn Forest, where the Ents live.
I wouldn’t want to walk through those woods!!
Very slippery. One misplaced step and suddenly it’s ‘Base over Apex’ time.
I’d love to go there. A nice creepy patch of woods to explore – CooooL!
I bet Tolkien had been there.
Yes… his powers of description are so minutely focused, and intense, I felt like he’d actually been everywhere he described… well, maybe not Mordor, exactly.
,,…
sorta like spending thousands on an RC plane and crashing it
on it’s maiden flight
What a dummy, though.
Yep he failed his first crash test.
We’ll rebuild him. We’ll make him better.
Robocop or Gadget?
That is definitely a gadget…
Dogma!

A good bit of the cast, on the set of the film “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein” (1948)
Bobby Pickett, 1964:
Are you saying Abbot and Costello were the bad part?
Well……
Girls just love bad boys. 🙂
,,
Cool. I hope all the quotes are genuine.
Does it matter?
Wow, yes!
It matters to me!
I like to know who actually said what words of wisdom.
Especially if I save it and want to quote any of it… I wouldn’t want to repeat false quotations.
The Internet is full of those… some accidental, some on purpose
I’ve been to meme-maker sites, where you can make an image with pretty much anybody saying anything, as long as they have a picture or you supply one.
We’re losing the truth, which is important to me.
Does it make the wisdom less worthy?
Both of you make good points here.
We all know that the Bob Ross one is real. 🙂
So many of these quotes talk to me, as a student artist.
keep it up!

Charles A. Lindbergh
Cute kid, great pilot, brave solo flyer… turned Nazi sympathizer.
He wrote about “the Jewish problem.”
His wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, wrote that they considered moving into one of the beautiful homes in Berlin forcibly vacated by well-off Jewish families, because it would be a good place to raise their children.
Sorry… it ends there for me.
I agree.
I knew his prewar sympathies were pro Nazi; I had no idea he was so virulently anti-Semitic. It makes me sad.
Some of that stuff only came out a few years ago… though enough was known even back in the 30s, when he accepted a medal from Hitler.
He spoke out against the concentration camps, yet still wrote that the Nordic races had to guard against dilution by “Asiatics and Jews.”
He was a hero to my father… I’m glad he didn’t seem to know about it.
Dad never would buy a Ford because of Henry Ford’s antisemitism. But I read a quote from Ford about Lindbergh, saying whenever Charles comes out here, “we only talk about the Jews.”
if I’ve posted this before…I apologize.
Doesn’t look familiar…. not to me, anyway.
No apologies necessary, in any case, even if you had posted it last week, which you didn’t. You keep this whole thing going, and we appreciate it!

I got a few of them, and several I recognised but couldn’t put a name to, and even more that I only recognised once I had read the attendee list.
Even when I copied and pasted the list, I tried hard not to read it, cos I want to look at the picture when I’m more awake and see who I recognize then.
It’s been a very hot day, and I’m too wiped out.
I got quite a few, I guess… but besides the ones I wasn’t that familiar with, there were more I knew, as actors, but not in this photo.
Some because they were out of context, some because they’d gotten so much older since the movies or shows I knew them from… Others just because it’s a rather unflattering photo.

I got one…
… um, sortta ….
… um, that’s NOT Jimmy Carter in the middle?
never mind.
LOL….

..
Right away.
Yes… as Happy³ said, immediately.
Please!!! (groan)
well, yesterday I posted a puzzle that the response from which I interpreted as too difficult — so……
It wasn’t.
Just absurd.
😀
🙂 You can’t win, but thank you very much for trying.
Yes!! Didn’t see this before I wrote mine!
Never mind the naysayers… just post ’em, please.
Some will be easy, some hard. There are those here who enjoy both.
A few will be nonsensical or impossible… that’s not really related to easy or hard… But we’ll figure it out.
If anybody complains, they can find better puzzles elsewhere… Most of us appreciate them all, and we’re here for the camaraderie.
So thank you!
As far as I am concerned the puzzle is part of the daily post. Just like bassets.
.
I have been trying to think of something to say about this distinguished gentleman.
he sleeps wherever he wants
Just like in the 4th grade riddle!
,.,,..
😞
Wildhorse Lake, in the Nevada part of Oregon.
I’ve always liked Stel’s Game of Bones poster.
Of course, I’ve never seen the actual series… I don’t have a TV, much less cable, so I can’t subscribe to BHO, even if I wanted to.
And besides, Stel said it was too violent for me.
But the poster is beautiful.
I know the humans followed, as usual, with their copydog version, which I’m told was even more violent…
And they stole her poster, too, and painted over the tops of her bones and made them into swords! How sad.
And the trailer for Dennis’ birthday 2020 is poignant…
Yes… I meant to mention it. Thanks.
Did I tell you that my kitten plays fetch? This is her jumping back on the bed with a ball in her mouth.
Meercat would pick the ball up in her mouth and start running towards me. She would stop about 5 – 10 feet away and snap her head to throw the ball back to me to catch. I miss her.
Guess which country.
Hey, it’s kind of a shady spot. Probably a good place to lay thousands of eggs.
For a minute I thought it was one single picture and I was trying to figure out what was that big hole under the truck door. When I realized my error, I thought “I’ve seen ones that big here in the U.S.
BTW, that could be a car door, not a truck door.
I thought it was one picture till you said that…. with not only a very confusing, big empty space below the door , but a horrifically huge spider that was going to make me run away.
I still might never open my car door again.
I’m going with Australia, for no reason other than that all kinds of bizarre creatures live there.
