It came as no surprise that the Redford obit I saw didn't mention The Candidate. Could be my favorite R R film, so excellently cast: Up and coming Peter Boyle; the eminent M Douglas; and Ann Southern's boss, Don Dafore, on TV's Private Secretary who played in several other sitcoms.
One of my favorite character actors, Kenneth Tobey, nailed the juicy role of the union guy, mischievously named Floyd Starkey. Tobey was the lead in the original The Thing which I saw at the Alhambra in 1951. Scared the bejesus out of me. The Candidate is in a class of its own.
This was such an interesting column, Jack. I am certain that I saw “The Candidate,” because my late husband loved movies and nearly every weekend of our 33 year marriage was spent at a movie theater on a Saturday night. I hope that I can find this movie and watch it again. I need to refresh my memory. I long for simpler times.

Yes please. Simpler times. ❤️
Thinking about it Jack, I wish I had used the word gristmill rather than quagmire. A festering, craven, Trump hellhole gristmill. Time to wake up!!!
