      Was about to post the same. Any kid growing up in the States in the 70s surely remembers Hollywood Squares & Paul Lynde's snappy retorts. Though not all of them will have withstood the test of time (some would be ill-advised today), he was overall over-the-top & hilarious, 'though there was this pathos lurking just beneath the surface. There was likely so much more to Lynde than we even know & Sean would be perfect casting.

    I remember Oscar Levant as the target of a devastating critique.
    Levant was teasing his friend, George Gershwin, about the supposed vanity in the composers many popular songs, to which Gershwin quipped back, "“Oscar, why don't you play us a medley of your hit?”

    • @jdj830
      @jdj830 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      If you went to any show-biz party in 1950s New York you could find Oscar Levant and Dorothy Parker sitting on the sidelines amusing one another with their devastating critiques of everyone else in the room. They took particular joy in ruthlessly mocking Leonard Bernstein for his pomposity. And in fact Oscar was probably the one person in that crowd who was as gifted as Bernstein - no exaggeration, he was a musical genius who could sight read anything - but was hobbled by his issues and his demons. I wish I were still living in New York; I’d love to see this play.

Or maybe Barnes and nobles will have to be 18+? And it can't be in libraries either because those are taxpayer-funded...
