For the first few years it was like having your dad in charge. He was scary, but comforting, and you couldn't imagine he wasn't infallible.Quote:

I don't mean the taste of your dad. That would be strange and troubling.
Well I think even George's best efforts at embezzlement couldn't match Sepp's, to be fair.Quote:

You just know he smelled of Old Spice, though, don't you?Quote:

Monty's dad? Yes, definitely.Quote:

Is that one of those fancy Waffen-SS Auslander units?Quote:

That was my thought as well. Obviously it's going to be hard to film such a peerless book but an honest try.Quote:

George Segal was in Bridge at Remagen as the hard-bitten captain. He wasn't very convincing, if truth be told.Quote:

Ah, you may be slightly underwhelmed then, in that case. He rarely looked better thoughQuote:

Yes. Completely miscast, of course, though. Marlowe is described repeatedly as looking like the quintessential rugged, All-American hero. Elliott Gould looks like..well...Elliott Gould.Quote:

Terrific! I didn't know any of that.Quote:
