Sticking with Jack Cassidy and also the Debbie Reynolds/lost Hollywood
history topic, The Phantom of Hollywood is worth a view.
Hokey TV movie, but with some old Hollywood stars, and made
fascinating by featuring the crumbling sets on the MGM backlot just
prior to demolition.
Also includes footage of the 1970 MGM auction, featuring the pair of
ruby slippers that weren't kept by Kent Warner, (who I believe Debbie
Reynolds was a customer of).

(back during the Kennedy Presidency!).

Yes, Neil, you picked the best!! The combo of Falk and Jack
Cassidy, one of the most underrated performers in sho-biz history,
was dynamite!
Luckily for me, I saw Peter Falk starring with Lee Grant and Vincent
Gardenia in Neil Simon's hysterical "The Prisoner of 2nd Avenue."
And I saw Jack Cassidy in "She Loves Me."

very sad.
he did an excellent comic turn in the underrated Robin & The Seven
Hoods and had a long, rich association with Cassavetes.
but if you're going to mark his passing, I suggest one of the early
Columbos that had Jack Cassidy as the guest star. The Spielberg-
directed Murder By The Book (1971) or (even better) Now You See Him
(1976) where Cassidy & Falk eat scenery like it's made out of milk
duds.

Most know of him as Columbo, but he was at his finest in The In-Laws
(opposite the equally great Alan Arkin). He was one of those guys
like Walter Matthau who was always better than what he appeared in,
but it took a super long time for him to become a star.

I wonder if any of his films had Mexican lobby cards? I guess I will
soon know!
