And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Only Steve McQueen could even come close to pulling off that hat.
Tuesday Weld hooked me on Dobie Gillis. Watching them again, she was by far the best actress on that show. She could actually act, as opposed to the other "loves" who were pretty, but they were just reading lines.
Na...
ReplyDeleteAgree!
DeleteNowhere near close enough!
DeleteBubbarust
Looks like a clowns ass, and knows it.
DeleteGotta agree; he looks stupid.
DeleteAnd Steve got close.
ReplyDeleteSeemed like a guy that dint care what others thought, just living life.
ReplyDeleteWhich is the right way to do it
DeleteIf that is Tuesday Weld, then the hat was part of his costume meant to look ridiculous in a comedy movie. Soldier in the Rain.

He most certainly does NOT pull off the hat/scarf/coat combination.
ReplyDeleteMy dad said that to make a man look like a fool, turn the brim up all the way around. I rest my case.
ReplyDeleteYep, it looks like your dad was right!
DeleteNot always true. One exception is the Maryland State Trooper Stetson. Barring that, yes, you're dad is correct.
DeleteThat darling Tuesday Weld is looking up to Heaven asking the Lord, "Why is this silly US Marine veteran wearing that goofy hat?"
ReplyDeleteSteve Martin could pull it off, but you would be laughing.
ReplyDeletehe looks like an extra in either One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, or in Taxi Driver
ReplyDeleteplus the ascot/scarf
ReplyDeletethis isn't Steve McQueen, it's a goofy/weird director

ReplyDeleteOnly if by "pulling it off" the object was to see how much he could be made to look like a walking erection.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the times when a glance at the dailies should result in someone punching the director in the mouth.
The last time a character was this beclowned in modern times was what Sam Mendes did to 007 in Spectre.
