If I'm recalling correctly ...

"Woodword, Bernstein, you're on the Watergate story. Now don't **** it up!" (He says as he's walking by.)

Also:

National Editor: I've got some top guys here, sitting around...
Warden: "You said it right. Sitting around."
 
Amazing bio,
Promising young middleweight fighter -- one bout against a young Charles Durning no less -- who joins the Navy, patrols the Yangtzee before WWII, does Merchant Marine duty, asks for an on-deck assignment and, when he doesnt get it, joins the 101st Airborne, breaks a leg before Normandy and starts studying drama in the hospital.

Don't forget the fact that he fought at the Battle of the Bulge as well.

I hope Jack Warden was taken from his body by an over eager way-station attendant and is being put into the body of a younger man as we speak.

Perhaps he can even play the clarinet.

mmmmmm, Julie Christie.
They made her look as much like a librarian as they could in HCW, and she still set the celluloid into flames for me.

Hey - what do you know?

Another thing we are in complete agreement on.

Julie Christie - like a cheese cracker!

From her mod days all the way through Troy, where she had one great scene as Achilles mother.
 
Hey, Lou --
Where'd you get the part about him fighting at the Bulge?
It wasn't in the LA Times obit that I read. That seemed to indicate Warden's war ended when he broke his leg. Makes a great story evern better.

It's in his IMDB.com biography
 
OK, cool.
And, before I forget to say it -- McCabe and Mrs. Miller. Mmmmmm, Julie in ringlets.
 
Classic as "Bad Hair" in "Dead Solid Perfect"--which is one of the all-time underrated movies.
 
Mr *******,

If pressed I'd suggest that Julie Bovino and Mrs Mamet (as Caitlin Costello Price) approached authenticity as Bostonians. Bar scenes were pretty good. And what about Milo O'Shea as the judge ("you're not going to get a mistrial")?

YHS, etc

"You were a bagman for the boys downtown" was the most Bostonian piece of dialogue.
Julie Bovasso was too New York -- just as Southie was too "Arlington" when he braks into her mailbox. Lindsay Crouse went for the full brogue, for reasons I never could fathom.
I liked the State House as the hospital, especially when they rolled the body out of the Senate Ways and Means office.

I loved his Max Corkle in Heaven Can Wait.

Dead at 85.

Didn't want to wade through several pages, but I think this movie is underrated in so many ways, as was Warden's role as Max. Sad to hear.
