Eddie Albert -- and it *is* Albert, not Fisher -- existed
before "Green Acres" was a twinkle in Paul Henning's manic
eye. One of the things he did was give a very decent
performance in "Roman Holiday" as an American expatriate
who's a friend and advisor to Gregory Peck. The "Sun Also
Rises" performance works as an extension of that previous
Roman one.
As long as we're talking Eddie Albert and noir, though (and I
don't mean those lost "Green Acres" episodes dealing with
*amour fou* and Arnold The Pig), we should also mention a
fine moment in the Robert Aldrich-directed '70s film
"Hustle."
Says Arnold to Burt Reynolds, concerning a missing daughter
fallen into bad company: "That girl could milk a crowbar
..."
