I am Spartacus!

Oh, and love the Great Race reference. Best pie fight in movie history.

Better than "The Not So Sweet Smell of Decomp."

Especially loved Curtis in a made-for-TV movie that used to be on every Christmas in the '90s: "Christmas in Connecticut." It also starred Dyan Cannon and Kris Kristofferson. Curtis was simply hilarious in it. Worth checking it out. Used copies on Amazon start at $6.34. I've decorated my Christmas tree to that movie every year since 1992.

ARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! NEVER, EVER PITCH THAT TO ANYONE!!!!!

COOKIN' FOR TWO

This was a last minute request from Stan Brooks, a friend of mine in the TV movie business. They needed a song to close a movie remake of “Christmas In Connecticut.” Arnold Schwartzenegger was directing it. My friend wanted something upbeat and big band-like that had to do with food or cooking.

I wrote the song quickly, my wife, Janine, sang it, her brother, John Sabino, did all the music and arrangements and we sent it off. Apparently, Arnold had his choice of several songs and when he heard ours he said, “I like za girl” or something like that. We met him at the premiere party in New York City, and he turned to Janine and me and said “Za song vaz VANTASSTIC!”

He was great in "The Great Race" and I liked him in "Operation Petticoat."
