RIP Karl Malden

[Joe Williams]

He didn't look much like Herb Brooks.

But he was a great antagonist vs. Marlon Brando (One-Eyed Jacks) and Steve McQueen (Nevada Smith), playing more or less the same role.

I think this makes seven dead celebs in a week. I think that's more than enough.

Always enjoyed his work on "Streets of San Francisco" with that "kid," Michael Douglas.

RIP, Karl.

Re: He left home without them

That Miracle On Ice movie was on a couple weeks ago. I don't remember seeing that before. It looked like there was lots of actual game footage in there.

IIRC, that awful movie is really the only place you can get a good quantity of game footage from the 1980 Olympic hockey tournament. Clips from the U.S.-Soviet game are shown, of course, but you rarely see anything from the other games.

ABC (or whoever) holds the rights and hasn't released a DVD collection yet, which makes no sense because it would be preposterously successful.

Problem with the movie is you have to sit through 90 minutes of crap to get those 30 minutes of clips.

HBO did a really good documentary that had game footage of the whole tournament, and commentary from Brooks and the players. It covers everything from when the team came together through the Olympics and does a recap of every game, with footage.

"The Streets of San Francisco" with some kid named Michael Douglas as his sidekick. Quinn Martin weeps.

great show

Re: He left home without them

Yeah, I didn't mean to say you can't see real game footage anywhere but the movie, Ragu. Just that I had read the movie contained more clips in one place than anywhere else (or at least it did for most of the last two decades. Maybe that's changed in recent years.)

Re: He left home without them

Don't forget he was in Streetcar Named Desire with Brando and Vivien Leigh.

And now they're all dead. IT'S A CURSE!

I've had the same VHS cassette of the Russia game my whole life. But you're absolutely right. I can't believe no one has packaged it all together on a DVD.

I've never seen the gold medal game.

last time i recall seeing him in action was on "west wing," playing prez bartlet's priest. "what the hell were you waiting for?" 8) 8) 8)

rip to one of the greats.

opps! missed the other malden thread, since it was too-vaguely titled.

Jeez. Michael Jackson has 25 active threads. Doesn't Karl Malden rate a measly two?

great show

Yes, it was. And whoever pointed out how great the opening was, take a bow. I used to watch this show every night on re-runs. One of the great cop shows of that -- or any -- era.

Trivia Time: Malden had two sidekicks in "Streets of San Francisco." Michael Douglas was one. Who was the other?

Richard Hatch. He got his start as Phil Brent on All My Children. They killed his character off so that he could take on the role as Malden's sidekick.

I don't if winning an Emmy counts as underrated, but don't forget about him in "Fatal Vision."
