Hey nyctc7.....great find...too bad the last 20 or so minutes are not in the video.

When I read the thread title this same Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode popped immediately to mind. If anyone wants to see it MeTV plays Alfred Hitchcock Presents at 1AM and this episode plays once in awhile.

Really?

An actor dies, and you decide to commemorate his passing with a bunch of statistics?

No comment on the man himself, his achievements, your personal highlights of his movie career?

Disrespectful...

When the white flame in us is gone,
And we that lost the world's delight
Stiffen in darkness, left alone
To crumble in our separate night;

When your swift hair is quiet in death,
And through the lips corruption thrust
Has stilled the labour of my breath --
When we are dust, when we are dust!

Hey snepts...I like it.

Kind of an adjunct to a poor player strutting and fretting his time on the stage, which signifies nothing.
It's the opening of a poem by Rupert Brooke, lifted by Danny Kirwan of Fleetwood Mac for the album Bare Trees.
That's how I know of it.

Hey Roguemail.....our website is all about movies and stats. When a movie actor passes away we give tribute to his career through what we have at our disposal...which is the statistics of his movies. Basically we turn a light on that showcases his movie career. Our website only gets about 500,000 views a month...but following some of the other movie websites out there...we give tribute when somebody passes.

That being said....I can understand you thinking it is disrespectful. Our website readers have requested in the past for us to do these tribute pages. He is listed in the Joel Hirschhorn book...Rating The Movie Stars. One of our goals is to do an UMR page on everybody that is in his book....Mr. Torn was one of the 410 thespians listed in that book. So far we have pages on 305 of those people. So....we had his movies already researched and ready to go....we just had not published the page yet. I wish I had published the page last week.....but I did not do that before his passing.

My personal highlights of Rip Torn are found in the return comments on our Torn page. Rest in Peace Mr. Torn.

In defense of Cogerson, there is already a RIP thread

Very sad to learn he passed away.
